A Weekend of Helping

Markus checks the weather forecast for the bank holiday on May 25th. The website predicts heavy rain across the region.

Viktor suggests they travel by train to the charity event. The ticket costs 45 pounds for a return journey.

Markus calls the station to ask about the route. An announcement says roadworks cause delays at Platform 4.

They decide to meet at 08:30 at the station. Markus has already booked a doctor appointment for Monday at 14:00.

The train departs at 09:15. Viktor tells Markus that the community garden needs help because of the storm.

They arrive at the village at 11:00. The local organizer says the community project starts immediately.

Markus and Viktor work hard planting flowers in the wet soil. They finish the task at 13:30 after the rain stops.

They visit a local restaurant for lunch. The special menu costs 12 pounds and includes a hot soup.

Viktor suggests they stay to help with the charity stall. Markus agrees because the afternoon weather is finally sunny.

They catch the 18:45 train back home. Markus feels happy that they helped the community despite the bad weather.
