The driver always listened to Einstein’s lecture, which the great scientist gave again and again. One day he told Einstein that he knew the lecture so well that he was sure he could give it himself. Einstein smiled and said, “Why don’t you give the lecture for me next time?” The driver agreed.
That evening both of them went along to the lecture hall. Nobody there knew Einstein. As the driver took his place on the stage everybody clapped. Then he started the lecture. Sure enough he didn’t make a single mistakes. It was a greet success, and when it was over, people clapped and clapped. Then he started to leave, shaking hands with everybody, while Einstein followed quietly a few steps behind.

I had hidden the long black bag in the garage for the past two days．Tonight，in the dark，I would finally take it away．If everything went OK，it would be done by morning．But I had to be sure no one，not even my wife，saw me．
It was more difficult to get away from the party than I expected．I said that the children were tired and needed to get to bed．It was partly true．But the main reason for leaving was that I wanted to complete my plan．
First I had to get the kids to sleep．That was never easy at any time and tonight it was even more difficult．The eldest one wanted to know why we left the party early．I told him 10:30 pm was not early．As usual，I read them a bedtime story，but I had to stop myself reading too quickly or they would learn my secret．
Silence finally came，and feeling like a thief in the night，I went out of the house and into the garage．Taking one end，I dragged the bag out from its hiding place and took it into the garden．I was worried that my neighbours might see me and call the police．
