Kindness



I was on my way to an appointment in heavy rain. 

I have to use crutches so I must wear a rain suit. 
While crossing a busy street in Umeda,  
a business man in his late fifties parked his car and 
came to me and sheltered me from the rain with his umbrella. 
He escorted me to my appointed location 
and he gave me a smile before he left. 
Only in Japan you will find this kindness.
