About Einstein

It is the pride of many people never to have any time. It was Einstein's pride always to have time. Once he agreed to meet a friend of his¹ on a certain bridge. The man said he could not promise to be there at the appointed time.

"Oh," said Einstein, "it makes no difference,² then I shall wait on the bridge." The friend suggested that he might lose too much of his time.

"Oh, no," answered Einstein, "the kind of work I do can be done anywhere. I can think about my problems on the bridge as well as³ at home."

Notes

1. a friend of his — one of his friends

2. it makes no difference — не имеет значения

3. as well as — так же как

Edison's First Invention

When Edison was a boy of fifteen, he worked as a tele­graph operator. He had to be on duty from 7 p. m. to 7 a. m.¹ and give a signal every hour to prove that he did not sleep. The signals were made with astonishing exactness. One night an inspector arrived and saw Edison sleeping in a chair.

He was about² to shake him when he caught sight³ of a mechanism on a table near the telegraph instrument. He wait­ed to see what would happen. When the hand of the clock pointed to the hour, the instrument got busy⁴ and one lever threw open the key while the other sent the signal over the wire.

The inspector seized the sleeping boy, roused him and "fired"⁵ him. That is why the first of Edison's numerous inventions was never patented.
