Zeigt er mir sein hände verstümmelt von lepra und sagt: "Sir, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"

Naturally versteh ich was meint er und geb ich ihm ein gut bakschisch.
Weil weiss ich er ist very poor und muss schlafen with the dogs outside auf boden neben ein temple in Patan und kalt auch in valley of Kathmandu in winter time.
Aber unfortunately gibt many rich tourists haben die immer ein fine excuse und ausred wenn geben kein gar nichts.
War ich da together mit mein distant relative Stan Mc Gregor from Scotland.
Actually Stan er war a fine guy aber geizig unheimlich.
Gibt er dies poor sick and old beggar kein einzig Rupee nicht.
Frag ich ihn: "Why you don't give this poor leper kein anything nicht, not even a single Paise ?"
Sagt Stan: "Weil muss ich support my poor sister."
Weiss ich aber dass Stan never und niemals ever did give any money to his sister, not a single Pence.
Sag ich ihm das. Und weisst was Stan did answer ohne zucken sein wimper?
Sagt er: "Wenn schon ich geb mein eigen schwester kein gar nichts warum dann ich soll geben something zu ein wildfremd mensch? !"
War ich completely perplex von dies ausred und weiss ich nicht soll weinen oder lachen.


Hoff ich schwer dass denkst nicht wie Stan Mc Gregor sondern willst help without kein ausred nicht the poor in the world.
For instance mit ein klein spende to this institution "Deutsch-Indisches Kinderhilfswerk " existing already more than 30 years and also supporting lepers in South India:

Auch mit some kracher less an Sylvester still noise enough um all the poor birds zu scheuchen auf.
Und 10 Euros in India much money zu helfen poor old sick people same this one.





To all once more Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.




English version:

Showing his hands mutilated by lepra he said: "Sir, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year"


Naturally I understood what he meaning and gave him a good bakschisch.
Because I know he is very poor and has to sleep outside with the dogs on the ground beside a temple in Patan.
And it's getting very cold in wintertime in the Valley of Kathmandu.
But unfortunately there are many rich tourists who always have an excuse for giving nothing.
I was together there with my distant relative Stan Mc Gregor from Scotland.
Actually Stan was a fine guy but unbelievable closefisted.
He didn't give anything to this poor old sick beggar, not a single Rupee.
I asked him: "Why you give this poor leper nothing, not even a single Paise ?"
Stan answered: "Because I have to support my poor sister."
But I did know that Stan never had given anything to his sister, not a single Pence.
I told him this.
Do you know what Stan answered me without batting an eye ?
He said: "When I don't give anything to my own sister why then I should give something to somebody totally unknown to me ?!"
I was completely perplexed by this excuse and didn't know whether I should cry or laugh.



I really hope that you don't think the same way as Stan Mc Gregor but will help the poor in this world without such excuses.
For instance with some donation to "Deutsch-Indisches Kinderhilfswerk", an institution doing great work already for 30 years now in South India and also supporting lepers there:

Some firecrackers less at Sylvester evening don't mean that there won't be still noise enough to rouse up all poor birds around.
And 10 Euros only are much money in India in order to give help to poor old sick people same this one.
