Einstein didn’t show his work, worrying as much as sweat pouring over his face.
The next day, Einstein handed in to the teacher a small stool made very raggedly, one leg of which was nailed not straight.
The teacher who was full of hope said unsatisfied to the entire class: “have you ever seen such a terrible stool?”
The classmates all laughed and shook their head. The teacher took another look at Einstein, and said angrily: “I think, there is no stool in the world which will be even more uglier than this one.”
Einstein’s face blushed. He walked to the front of the teacher, said affirmatively:”yes, teacher, there is stool that is more uglier than this one.” The classroom suddenly quieted down. Everyone was looking at Einstein.
He walked back to his seat, from under the table (he) took out two wooden stools who were even more raggedly made, and said:”these are ones that I made the first time and second time, the one that I handed over to the teacher is the third one. Even though it’s not very satisfying, it’s better than the two that are made earlier.”
