Under 2. verdenskrig skulle Churchill møde Hitler og Mussolini ved en berømt karpedam (carp pool) i Paris. Churchill skulle spørge hitler, om han turde vædde (bet) [om], hvem [der] ville vinde krigen. Taberen måtte så indrømme, at han havde tabt krigen. ”For at vinde skal De fange den store karpe, men De må ikke bruge almindeligt fiskeudstyr” (equipment). Hitler skød på karpen men kunne ikke ramme den under vandet. Mussolini vovede at hoppe i dammen. Han ville fange karpen med sine hænder, men han kunne ikke – fisken var for glat (slippery). Churchill bad: ”Må jeg låne Deres teske?” og han begyndte at tømme dammen. Han måtte skjule et smil, da han sagde: ”Vi kan vinde krigen, men det kan tage lang tid.”


During World War 2 Churchill had to meet Hitler and Mussolini at a famous carp pool in Paris. Churchill should ask Hitler, if he dared to bet about who would win the war. The loser would then have to admit that he had lost the war. “To win, you have to catch the big carp, but you are not allowed to use normal fishing equipment”. Hitler shot at the Carp, but could not hit it under the water. Mussolini dared to jump in the pool. He wanted to catch the carp with his hands, but he could not – the fish was too slippery. Churchill asked: “May I borrow your teaspoon?” and he began to empty the pool. He had to hide a smile, when he said: “We can win the war, but it is going to take a long time.
