Newton and His Dog

Sir Isaac Newton was a great scientist of England. He had a cool temper. He had a favourite dog named Diamond. One evening, Newton went out of his study into the next room. He left his dog behind. There were some valuable papers and a burning candle on the table.Newton returned after a while. He saw that the dog had overturned the candle among the papers. The papers were reduced to ashes. They contained the results of his great labours. It was a terrible loss. But Newton did not loss his temper. He simply said, "Diamond, you do not know what mischief you have done. "
