A girl asked, “Do you think you're a giant of science？”

Einstein said with a smile, “A giant is a person who is tall in height.You see I'm so small, how can I be a giant? Maybe I see a bit farther, only because I stand higher！”

Then a boy asked, “You mentioned you stand higher than the others.It reminds me that you had a talk with a lady on the top of the Alps (阿尔卑斯山)．I don't want to ask what you talked, but I want to know whether you realised you have been a top in the history of science when you stood on the top.”

“I have only a very small amount left. It will take me some time to find out how to make more.

“I will pay you anything you ask,” Wayde said.

“Don’t give me anything now, but promise to pay me $10,000 when you become Prime Minister（首相）.”

Wayde laughed. “That’s impossible,” he said. “I shall never become Prime Minister.”

“Who knows.” Manningtree said. “Give me a week, and I’ll see what I can do.”

A week passed. Then, Manningtree came to visit Wayde again. He brought with him a small bottle.

“You can certainly have it if you want it.” Wayde said. “But that is not the reason I have come to see you.”

“Oh? And what is the reason?” Manningtree asked.

“I have almost finished the medicine you gave me,” Wayde said. “Have you found out how to make it?”

Again Manningtree laughed. “Oh, yes,” he said. “I have known how to make it for a long time I knew how to make it when I was at school.”

“What do you mean?” Wayde asked.

“My dear friend and Prime Minister”, Manningtree said, “The medicine I gave you was just a bottle of distilled water.”

“But the colour.”

“Oh, I added some coloring.”

“Then, the medicine did me no good,” Wayde said.
