Joo Brother’s Tale
Thus begins our tale on a summer night,
A family of five was in full sight.
Enjoying a late meal with wine were they,
While recounting the events of that day.
Then one says he has a story to tell,
And the others listened very well.
He said, “This story might not seem like much,
But listen well and it will not be such.”
So he began his short story with pride,
And to find the hidden meanings they tried:
“My story is no romance nor sad,
But at the end you will have a good laugh.
It involves genius Albert Einstein
And the great comedian Mr. Bean.
The two great minds got together for lunch
When Mr. Bean had a good hunch.
He smiled, ‘To you I propose a deal,
A great gain, as you will see the appeal.’

Intrigued, smart Einstein told him to go on
To see what it was that could be won.
‘You, Einstein, the smartest man in the world
Can send even the most learned for a whirl.
Though educated I am in my own right,
Even I am dimmed by your mind’s great light.
Twenty plus years of schooling I should do,
To even come half as close to you.’
By now Einstein felt his ego swell up,
And smirked as he held up his cup.
‘So my proposal is this great Einstein,
For you will defeat me in no time:
In turns we will go asking a question,
Money will be exchanged in this session.
To your question I give no answer to
One dollar and praise shall I owe to you.
To my question no answer you warrant,
Thousand dollars you lose to your torment.’
Einstein contemplated the deal with care,
But his head was already filled with hot air.
Einstein said, ‘I have not one thing to lose,
And shall answer anything that you choose.’
So Einstein went first for he was greater,

And a dollar Mr. Bean did cater.
Mr. Bean thought hard for he was next,
And his question Einstein did not suspect.
‘A riddle I do have for you great sir,
That even your great mind will have to stir.
It goes as such as riddles do go:
What starts at the road standing on three legs,
And in the middle standing on five legs,
And the end of the road stands on two legs?’
Einstein thought long and hard for a few
But with no answer his money was due.
Heavy heart and thousand dollars lighter,
Einstein could not believe Bean was brighter.
A few moments silent and thus compelled,
Einstein cleared his thoughts and no longer dwelled.
Swallowed his pride for it was his turn next,
Said, ‘ To you, Bean, I give my full respect.
But ask I must to my own dismay
The answer to your riddle can you say?’
Thought long and hard Mr. Bean surely did,
Without a word a dollar he sure slid.
Here is ended the Joo Brother’s Tale.
