A good deed


Ein Pfadfinder verspätet sich eine halbe Stunde für ein Treffen.

A boy scout was half an hour late for a meeting.
Sein Freund fragte: "Warum bist du so spät dran?"

His friend asked: "Why are you so late?"
"Ich habe einen alten Mann beim Überqueren der Strasse geholfen.", antwortete er.

"I was helping an old man cross the street.", he answered.
"Das ist sehr nett sowas zu tun", sagte sein Freund. "Aber deswegen eine halbe Stunde Verspätung?"

"That's a nice thing to do," said his friend. "But half an hour late because of that?"
"Naja, das Problem war, dass er nicht gehen wollte.", antwortete er.

"Well, the problem was he didn't want to go," he answered.
