Well, that’s exactly how I felt. On a Saturday morning last autumn．I had gone to town to do some shopping and as I was on my way home，it suddenly began to rain. I at once ran into a nearby phone box since I didn’t have an umbrella．It was raining so heavily that I have to stay in the phone box until it stopped．
A few moments later，I saw a young man walk up to the phone box，wearing a yellow raincoat and holding a box. I didn’t want to go out into the rain，so I picked up the phone and pretended I was talking to someone. I thought the man would go away，but he didn’t. He just waited in the pouring rain，watching me wave my hands about and act as if I was deep in conversation.
Luckily，it began to stop after about ten minutes．“Okay，Mum，” I said loudly into the phone，“I’ll see you later Bye!” I put the phone down．picked up my shopping bag and walked out of the phone box “I’m sorry I took so long,”I said to the man．
“Oh, I don’t want to use the phone,”he replied．smiling．“I’ve just come to repair it. It’s out of order．you see.” I felt myself go bright red in the face and I hurried away with my head down，feeling a complete fool. That was certainly one of the most embarrassing moments of my life!

Careful and careless are as different as fire and water. But it is strange that quite a few scientists have both these qualities. They are both careful and careless. Newton, the famous English scientist, was such a person.
Once Newton invited a friend to dinner at home. When they were ready to eat, Newton left to get a bottle of wine. But after his friend had waited for a long time, Newton still didn't come back. At last his friend found Newton in his lab. When Newton was going to get the bottle of wine, he suddenly had a new idea for his experiment. So he quickly forgot his friend and the dinner. Another time, Newton was leading a horse up a mountain, and held the rein in his hand. While he was walking, he kept thinking about problems. When he got to the top of the mountain, he found that the rein was not in his hand and the horse was gone.
Einstein was another example. Once he was waiting for a friend at a bridge, while waiting, he became lost in thought. It started to rain. The rain kept on for some time. When he took out a piece of paper to write something down, the paper was wet and then he knew that it was raining. But after he put the paper into his pocket, he again forgot he was standing in the rain.
