A good deed


Um garoto escoteiro chegou meia hora atrasado a uma reunião.

A boy scout was half an hour late for a meeting.
Seu amigo perguntou: "Por que você está tão atrasado?"

His friend asked: "Why are you so late?"
"Eu estava ajudando um senhor idoso a atravessar a rua", ele respondeu.

"I was helping an old man cross the street.", he answered.
"Você fez bem", disse o amigo, "mas meia hora atrasado por isso?"

"That's a nice thing to do," said his friend. "But half an hour late because of that?"
"Bem, o problema é que ele não queria ir", ele respondeu.

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