One day, Beethoven came to a restaurant for dinner. After ordering, he suddenly got inspiration. He picked up the menu on the table and made a song on the back of the men
u. After a while, he was completely immerd in the beautiful melody. When the waiter saw Beethoven's devotion, he didn't dare to disturb him and decided to rve him later. About an hour later, the waiter finally came to Beethoven's side: “Sir, will you rve？” Beethoven just woke up from a dream and immediately paid for it. Confud, the waiter couldn't figure it out and said: “Sir, you haven't eaten yet！” “No, I'm sure I have.” Beethoven couldn't listen to the waiter's explanation.After paying the order on the menu, he grabbed the menu full of notes and rushed out of the restaurant. Beethoven's unconventional and eccentric behavior in life is out of tune with people. It ems unreasonable. In fact, it reflects the artist's extremely devoted creative state.
Some people like modern art，while others say that is rubbish.But a cleaner who works in the Tate Gallery in London isn't able to tell the difference.The woman，who name isn't known，mistook a work of art by the German painter Gustav Metzger as a bag of rubbish，and threw it out with other bags.Embarrasd officials at the muum had to cal
l a meeting with cleaners to explain which things should not be touched.However，to make sure of not happening again，they covered Mr.Metzger's work with a coloured cloth every evening.In this way the cleaners would realize they should not touch it.
This is not the first time that muum cleaners have had trouble distinguishing exhibits from rubbish.In 2001，in another London gallery，a cleaner threw away a work by the wellknown British artist Damien Hirst.It was an arrangement of empty beer bottles，coffee cups，and overflowing ashtrays，which was meant to indicate the chaos in the life of an artist.However，cleaners don't always throw things away—sometimes they clean them！This was the ca with a dirty bathtub which was on show in a gallery in Germany.Without asking what the bathtub was doing in the gallery，the cleaners simply washed it clean.
