A Simple Scientific Experiment

Isaac Newton was a great English scientist, but when he was thinking hard about his work, he often forgot other things.

One morning Newton got up early. He began to work at once. He worked on a very difficult problem. He was still thinking it hard when it was time for breakfast . Mary brought a pan (平底锅)of water and an egg to his room. But Newton wanted to stay by himself and said to Mary,“You can put the egg on the table. I’ll boil(煮)it myself.” Mary put the egg beside Newton’s watch on the table and said,“You must boil the egg for four minutes and then it will be ready.” Then she went out of the room.

But when she went into the room again an hour later, she saw him standing by the pan, and having the egg in his hand. He put the watch in the pan and was boiling it! But he did not know what he was doing.
