The Misunderstood Genius

Joan Marques

Chapter 3.1 in Stories to Tell Your Students, 2011, pp 133-135 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract A misunderstood genius was walking on a plain not far from a great metropolitan city, at 3 p.m. while the sun was high in the sky, and the earth was splitting from drought. He was there because he needed some time to contemplate in a quiet environment. Unfortunately, his troubled state of mind was not cooperating too well with his desire to generate some fruitful ideas. He kicked a single cactus that just seemed a little too bouncy and bubbly for his antagonistic mood. “The nerve of this plant to stand there so vivacious in such sizzling sun. It should be against the law!” he grumbled. But the cactus stung him right through his canvas shoe, and the misunderstood genius groaned.
