What turned out to determine whether someone would stop and help a stranger in need was how much of a hurry they thought they were in -- were they feeling they were late, or were they absorbed in what they were going to talk about.
Of ze stopten om een vreemdeling in nood te helpen, werd bepaald door hoeveel haast ze dachten te hebben— of ze dachten dat ze te laat waren, of ze opgeslokt waren door waarover ze gingen vertellen.
