Miracle
To the public, he was seen as a slightly odd-looking but kind and funny man. He had a thick moustache and long white hair, which sometimes stood on end as though he had just received an electric shock. Although he was a genius, he sometimes forgot things, like his friends’ birthdays. But despite his peculiarities, he was loved by his friends and neighbours. There is even a story about how he helped a little girl who knocked on his door and asked for help with her homework. In fact, Einstein often
encountered people on the street who would stop him and ask him to
help explain things. After many such occasions, he finally started saying,
“ Pardon me! Sorry! Always I am mistaken for Professor Einstein!”
