1. Mr Dobidees was a genius.A total, one hundred percent genuine genius.At least, that is
what Mr Dobidees said. ‘I’m a genius,’ he regularly announced on trains, on buses, in cafes and in
cinemas.
2. Even now, Mr Dobidees was hard at work being a genius. Paintbrush in hand, he sat by the
bank of the River Volgart, watching the magnificent city with it scurls of smoke rising above the
buildings. He listened as the church bells began their song, and he started painting. But after ten
minutes, he stopped. ‘Annoying!’ he said ‘ Very annoying!’ A bird nearby walked in a perfect circle.
‘Hmm,’ said Mr Dobidees, ‘this is just too annoying.’ The problem wasn’t the bird, but the sun. The
sun kept moving. So every time Mr Dobidees tried to paint a shadow or the line of abuilding or the
colours of the trees, they changed because the sun changed them. It was the sun’s fault. The sun
didn’t understand genius.
3. Arriving home annoyed, Mr Dobidees sat at his desk and began to write his novel. It was
going to be the greatest (and longest) novel ever written. He had already bought one thousand pieces
of paper to print the novel on, and he already had the title: A Genius Speaks. His fingers hovered
above the keyboard, ready to type the first words of the first chapter, but then something strange
happened. The telephone rang.
4. Mr Dobidees jumped out of his seat. Who could it be? He stood by the telephone and
watched it ringing. Eventually , he picked It up. Silence. Noone there. He sat down again. But by now
his concentration was gone. Geniuses and telephones should never be in the same room, he decided,
so he got up and went to his music room.
5. The music room wasn’t really a music room at all. It was a large white space with a piano
in the centre. Mr Dobidees sat at the piano, and a list went through his head: Beethoven ,Mozart,
Bach, Tchaikovsky, Dobidees. ‘This is the moment the world has been waiting for, ‘he said to himself.
He breathed deeply. He raised his hands. But just before he could begin, a noise stopped him. A noise
from inside himself. He froze. What was it? It happened again. His stomach was making noises! ‘This
is extremely unusual,’ he said. ‘Unusual,’ he repeated. And he kept repeating it all the way to thes
upermarket, where he bought a loaf of bread, a packet of cheese, eight onions, a banana and three
tomatoes. When he got home he was hungry. After eating some food washed down with a good hot
cup of tea, he said to himself, ‘I’m a genius. Genius. Me. Dobidees. Genius. ‘Outside, a dog barked.
A cat slept. The annoying sun shone. The world kept turning.
44. Mr Dobidees believes he is a genius.
45. He couldn’t paint the city because of a bird.
46. He has written one thousand pages of a novel.
