Lesson 217

3) Uncle Georg Peter's uncle lived in the countryside. Once Peter visited him to spend a few weeks in his house. When they went for a walk or drove around and saw someone, his uncle always waved to that person. Peter was surprised and asked his uncle whether he knew everyone and where he had met them all. Uncle Georg shook his head. Peter was even more surprised and wanted to know why he then waved to them. "Well, Peter," answered his uncle, "When I wave to somebody and he knows me, he is satisfied, he continues his journey with a happier heart. But when I wave to somebody and he doesn’t know me, he is surprised thinking by himself, who I am and why I have waved to him. So he has something to think about during the trip, and his journey seems shorter to him. So I made everyone happy."
