she shot back, tapping the hem of her dress, “I think smart people like you love puzzles. Maybe that’s why you always look so…mean and serious.” What audacity of this human child! Daring to speak to me as if she were equal, and yet, I felt no irritation. Only… intrigue. “Perhaps,” I said slowly, “Do you like riddles too?” “Oh yes!” Her face lit up immediately with my question. “Can you give me one?” I thought for a moment, deciding if I should indulge her in the conversation or not. “Alright,” I said, my voice dropping into a teasing growl. “I speak without a mouth and hear without ears, I have nobody, but I come alive with wind.

"Did you figure out the answer?" "Of course! It's just a riddle. Piece of cake!" "Which one did you solve?" "There's a snake in the forest, but it never bit anyone. Why?"

"I've always know the Albert Einstein I read in books to be always confident and brave in himself not someone who gives up at a sight of failure."
