Genius On The Loose
Gosh, whcit a gem of nn
idea for using thi.t spare
radio piece I Johnny sighed.
A moment before it hadn’t
been there and then click-
it came like a bolt from
the blue. The time seemed
interminably long till
time to go home. He’s ‘at
tach the pieco to his bike
motor, svrap the feUoviis
for a couple of other
pieces, and then he’d be
the first guy in existence
to have a motor bike v;ith
n walkie-talkie. The only
thing v/as he must remember
hov/ he wanted to fasten it
to the motor.
Far av/ay in his subcon
scious mind droned the
teacher’s voice, ”Kow if
pi is 3.14, and the diam
eter is 8,what is the cir
cumference? Dimly he rea
lized that she was saying
something about math, but
how could anyone think of
math at a time like this?
Seeing the long ribbon
of road outside, he visua
lized himself riding down
it on his remarkable now
bicycle. ’^'iThy, everyone
would bp saying, ’’There
goes the young Thoma.s Edi
son., "V/ho knows, perhaps
after his brilliant job on
the bike, he would grov; up
to becomc even more famous
than Edison 1 Such things
were possible, he reminded
himself. He dragged his
gaze from out the window
and vaguely, but finally
realized someone v/as talk
ing to him. "Johnny", the
teacher was saying, "Y/hen
you’ve come down from
those clouds we’ll contin
ue with our lesson."
Oh, if they’d only leave
me alone and let me get
back to my idea,he'thought
‘His idea ’ It was gone-just
as suddenly as it had
appeared.
The trouble around this
place he decided v;as that
nobody appreciated his Gen
