Katie's Journey to Love
“Centuries-old buildings surrounded her here in the town of Zurich. She could almost feel the presence of those faithful men and women of old who had traversed these streets. Margaret was unwrapping the sandwiches they’d purchased at the small market where English was spoken only upon request. Katie had taken a deep breath and tried her High German on the young man running the register. “Es ist ein netter Tag drausen,” she’d ventured.
He’d smiled but replied in English, “You have a good day, gir...ls. And don’t get lost.”
Katie lowered her head. Her German must be awful for him to reply in English. She should have kept her mouth shut. The young man probably hadn’t understood a word she’d said.
“What did you tell him?” Margaret asked, once they were in the street.
“I tried to remark that it was a nice day outside, but apparently my High German stinks. The correct accent has probably been lost after 300 years of living in America.”
They all laughed, but Nancy came to her aid.MoreLess
