En god gärning

A good deed

En pojkscout kom en halvtimme för sent till ett möte.

A boy scout was half an hour late for a meeting.

Hans kompis frågade: "Varför är du så sen?"

His friend asked: "Why are you so late?"

"Jag hjälpte en gammal farbror över gatan", svarade han.

"I was helping an old man cross the street.", he answered.

"Det var fint gjort", sa hans kompis. "Men kommer du en halvtimme för sent för den sakens skull?"

"That's a nice thing to do," said his friend. "But half an hour late because of that?"

"Tja, problemet var att han inte ville gå över", svarade han.

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