Isaac Newton so much was interested in different problems that he became quite absent-minded. One day a gentleman came to see him, but he was told that Sir Isaac Newton was busy in his study and that nobody was allowed to disturb him.
As it was dinner time, the visitor sat down in the dinning room waiting for the scientist. The servant came in and placed on the table a boiled chicken under a cover. An hour passed but Newton not didn’t appear. The gentleman felt hungry, ate the chicken, and covered up the skeleton. He asked the servant to prepare another one for his master.
Before the second chicken was cooked, however, the scientist entered the room and apologized for his delay. Then he added, «As I feel rather tired and hungry, I hope you will excuse me a little longer, while I take my dinner, and then I will be at your service.» With these words he lifted the cover, and without emotion turned round to the gentleman and said, «See how strange scientists are. I quite forgot that I had dined already.»
At this moment the servant brought in the other chicken. The visitor explained how matters stood. After he had laughed heartily, the hungry scientist sat down and ate his dinner.
