2. (a.) Write out from memory a German version of the passage
read’ out.
(b.) Translate into German:—
A gentleman in Paris was wont every morning, on his way to his
business, to give a half-franc to a blind beggar. One day, by mistake,
he threw a napoleon into the beggar’s box. Some hours later he dis¬
covered his error, and as he was not rich, he resolved to speak to the
man on his way home. When he passed by the place, he found that the
beggar had left, but a street-sweeper told him where he was living.
Having gone to the address indicated, the gentleman found the beggar’s
name on a door on the third storey of a very respectable house. A tidy-
looking maid-servant opened, and requested him to step into a well-
furnished room, and take a seat. After a minute or two, the beggar
made his appearance neatly dressed, and the matter was explained to
him. “ My clerk,” he said, “ is just making up the day’s accounts, and
if a napoleon has been found in the box, it shall be restored to you.
The piece of gold was found, and handed to the visitor. As the latter
was retiring, however, the beggar called out to him, “ I beg your pardon,
my dear sir, but you have forgotten to give me the half-franc out of it
.{bcrauSgeben).”
