4 (french) Werber, Bernard

ottle of whiskey I filed with the glasses on my coffee table
and poured himself a swig of alcohol. With my matches, he
revived one of its thin cigarettes bidder.
- Michael, even you and me, we will die one day, and Then,
just before he died, we ask that we have made our lives. So
many try something original! Frayons a track. If we fail,
other will continue. The Thanatonautes is still in its infancy.
Appalled me so much stubbornness.
- You’ve set an impossible task, I sighed. - Impossible, this
is said to Christopher Columbus when he asserted able to
take an egg right. I had a bitter smile.
- In this case, it was easy. It was enough to tap the base of
the egg. - Yes, but he had discovered the first. Here, I will
you submit a problem that seems likely as not that of the
egg of Columbus in his time. He went out of his pocket a
notebook and a pencil.
- Will you draw a circle and the center point of its axis
without lifting your pen? To better show me the figure to
obtain, he traced luimême a circle with a dot in the middle.
- Do the same, but without lifting your pen, should order-it.
- It’s impossible and you know it! - No more than one egg to
fit right. No more than to conquer the continent of the dead.
Looking at the round point, I had a dubious frown.
