The tale of the king and his servants

When I come to the laboratory of my father, I usually see

some plates lying on the tables. These plates contain colonies
of bacteria. These colonies remind me of a city with many
inhabitants. In each bacterium there is a king. He is very long,
but skinny. The king has many servants. These are thick and
short, almost like balls. My father calls the king DNA, and

the servants enzymes. The king is like a book, in which every-
thing is noted on the work to be done by the servants. For

us human beings these instructions of the king are a mystery.

My father has discovered a servant who serves as a pair of
scissors. If a foreign king invades a bacterium, this servant
can cut him in small fragments, but he does not do any harm

to his own king.

Clever people use the servant with the scissors to find out
the secrets of the kings. To do so, they collect many servants
with scissors and put them onto a king, so that the king is
cut into pieces. With the resulting little pieces it is much
easier to investigate the secrets. For this reason my father
received the Nobel Prize for the discovery of the servant

with the scissors.
