Question

Once, Einstein gave a lecture in a university. After his speech, the audience started asking questions.

A girl asked, “Do you think you’re ________ giant of science?”

Einstein said ________ 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 ________ I stand higher!”

Then a boy asked, “You mentioned you stand higher than ________. It reminds me that you had a talk with a lady on the top of the Alps. I don’t want to ask ________ you talked, but I want to know whether you realized you have been a top in the history of science when you stood on the top.”

Looking at the boy ________, Einstein replied, “Well,________ height cannot become a top. And there is no top that no one can get to, so we don’t want to be a top, but we want to be a person to climb the top!”

Then he took up a piece of chalk and ______ on the blackboard, “Standing on the top, you are not tall, but even smaller!”

Then he said, “Though I stand tall, in the eyes of the world I’m still small! Finally, I can tell you a sentence, which was the last one I told the lady on the top of the Alps, ‘Any top can ________, for there is no giant in the world but the one ________ stands higher!’”

A storm of applause sounded. The lady who listened to Einstein’s instruction on the Alps that year was no other than Madam Curie!
