seated in the back row.
One fine day, after Einstein __________1 (finish) a lecture and ________ 2 (come) out of the

Answer 1

Einstein's chauffeur
After having proposed his famous theory, Albert Einstein would tour the various
Universities in the United States, delivering lectures wherever he went. He was always
accompanied by his faithful chauffeur, Harry, who would attend each of these lectures while
seated in the back row.
One fine day, after Einstein finished a lecture and came out of the lecture theatre into his vehicle, Harry addressed him and said,
"Professor Einstein, I have heard your lecture on Relativity so many times, that if I were ever given the opportunity, I would be able to deliver it to perfection
myself!"
"Very well," replied Einstein, " We'll go to Dartmouth next week. They don't know me there. You can deliver the lecture as Einstein, and I will take your place as Harry!"
And so it went to be... Harry delivered the lecture to perfection, without a word out of place, while Einstein sat in the back row playing
"chauffeur", and enjoying a snooze for a change.
Just as Harry descended from the podium, however, one of the research assistants stopped him, and began to ask him a question on the theory of
relativity.... one that involved a lot of complex calculations and equations. Harry replied to the assistant
"The answer to this question is very simple! In fact, it is so simple, that I will let my chauffeur answer it!"
