Deep Meditation Makes One Forgetful of Petty Things Story

Long ago, there was a smart person named Sir Isaac Newton. He loved thinking about difficult problems. But sometimes, he would forget about simple things he needed to do each day. Once, he was really busy thinking about some problems. It was time for breakfast, and the person who took care of his house sent a helper to cook an egg for him. The helper wanted to cook the egg, but Sir Isaac didn't want her to stay and watch. So, she left the egg on a table next to his watch. The egg needed to cook for only three minutes. But instead of putting the egg in a pot to cook, Sir Isaac put his watch in the pot by mistake and started boiling it. The helper came back and was very surprised to see this strange mistake.
