Einstein often received invitations to explain his theories at different universities. On these trips, his driver Hans often said to him, "It's a pleasure to drive a genius like you, Dr Einstein."
One evening, on their way to a university, Einstein said, “I‘m so tired. I wish I could avoid giving my lecture tonight, Hans, but I don’t want to let my audience down.”
"I know what to do," said Hans. "I can give the lecture for you. You can trust me. I've listened to your lecture so many times that I've learnt it by heart. No one knows you at this university, so they won't find out.”

Earlier tonight, Dr Einstein was invited to explain his theories in Harvard University. This was the third invitation in the week so he was really tired. He wanted to avoid it, but he hated to let his audience down. Suddenly, I got a crazy idea. I offered to give the lecture for him because I had remembered it by heart. He trusted me.
After we arrived, I was guided to the lecture hall and he took a seat among the audience. The lecture was successful and even Dr Einstein joined in the applause at the end. However, a guy raised a question that was so difficult that I had no idea what he was talking about. Luckily, I got another good idea. I asked “my driver” Dr. Einstein to answer it for me. He stood up and answered it without difficulty. After that, Dr. Einstein drove me home. He even said, “It’s a pleasure to drive a genius like you，Hans.” I felt so proud!
