Albert Einstein

One day the famous American scientist Albert Einstein met an old friend of his on a street in New York.

“Mr Einstein,” said the friend, “ it

seems that you need to put on a new

overcoat. Look, how worn-out it is!”

“It doesn’t matter,” answered

Albert Einstein. “No one knows me

here in New York.”

Several years later they met in

New York again. Einstein had been a

world-famous physicist after then but

he still wore the same old overcoat.

Once more his friend persuaded him to buy a new one.

“There is no need now,” said Einstein, “Everybody here has known me.”
