Russischer Angriffskrieg: Putin spricht bei Vormarsch in der Ukraine von Fortschritten
Ich bin Hausbesitzer und brauche einen Klempner. Leider sind diese sehr schwer zu bekommen, keiner hat Zeit. Glücklicherweise stelle ich aber nachts einen Einbrecher in meinem Keller, einen jungen Mann ohne Deutschkenntnisse. Ich frage ihn, ob er zufällig Klempner sei. Leider nein, aber das macht nichts. Ich nehme ihn auf, bezahle ihm eine monatliche Apanage, engagiere einen Privatlehrer für den Deutschkurs. Leider wirkt er wenig motiviert, macht kaum Fortschritte. Gelegentlich wird er mir gegenüber aggressiv, vor allem wenn er getrunken hat. Aber ich bleibe geduldig und hoffe weiterhin, daß es mit der Klempner-Ausbildung irgendwann klappt, und er mir dann helfen kann. Mittlerweile rinnt zunehmend Wasser aus meinen Wänden, und die Heizung will nicht mehr anspringen. Der Winter steht vor der Tür. Meine Bank ruft an und stellt angesichts des sichtlichen Wertverlustes meine Hypothek in Frage. Und wieder habe ich Glück: Es wird noch einmal eingebrochen, diesmal sind es gleich zwei junge Männer. Irgendwann wird ja mal ein Klempner drunter sein. (Deutsche Migrationspolitik in vier Absätzen) #Migrationspolitik #Klempner #Hausbesitzer
