For example, it was in a letter to a 12-year-old girl from New York that he makes his now well-known remark:“Do not worry about your  16  in mathematics; I promise you that  17  are still greater. ”

“This is a beautiful and touching  18  . It is amazing how intelligent some of the children’s  19  are, ”said a reader from Georgia, US. “but it is more interesting to get to know the other  20  of Einstein. ”
