Too late

Demasiado tarde

Did the detectives save the diamonds?

¿Protegaron los diamentes los detectives?

The plane was late and detectives were waiting at the airport all morning. They were expecting a valuable parcel of diamonds from South Africa. A few hours earlier, someone had told the police that thieves would try to steal the diamonds. When the plane arrived, some of the detectives were waiting inside the main building while others were waiting on the airfield. Two men took the parcel off the plane and carried it into the Customs House. While two detectives were keeping guard at the door, two others opened the parcel. To their surprise, the precious parcel was full of stones and sand!

El avión iba tarde, los detectives llevaban toda la mañana esperando en el aeropuerto. Estaban esperando un valioso paquete con diamantes que venía de Sudáfrica. Unas horas antes alguien le había dicho a la policia que ladrones tratarían de robar los diamantes. cuando el avión llegó, algunos detectives estaban esperando adentro del edificio central mientras que otros esperaban en el aerodromo. Dos hombres tomaron el paquete fuera del avión y lo llevaron dentro del edificio de aduana. Mientras dos detectives cuidaban la puerta, otros dos abrieron el paquete. Para su sorpresa, el preciado paquete estaba lleno de piedras y arena.
