(Otto Neugebauer, the historian of ancient mathematics, told a story 
about the boy Einstein that he characterizes as a "legend,")
As he was a late talker, his parents were worried.  At last, at the
supper 
table one night, he broke his silence to say, "The soup is too hot."
Greatly 
relieved, his parents asked why he had never said a word before.
Albert 
replied, "Because up to now everything was in order."
