Wise men do not always act wisely.Sometimes they might do something foolish.Because they are famous,the stories about their foolish acts are often spread widely.For example,Ludwig Van Beethoven,the great German composer,once insisted on paying a waiter for a dinner he had not eaten or even ordered.

Isacc Newton,the world famous British physicist,once cut two holes in his door,one big,the other small,for his two cats to pass through.He only thought the big cat could not get through the small hole easily.
