One Cellphone
Here’s a situation:
You’re in Japan, and your Japanese speaking skill is still incomprehensible. Then you find a cellphone on your way home. Would you pick it up or just pretend that you didn’t see it?
I was on my way home when I found a cellphone lying along the path. After much deliberation, I pretended not to see it. I almost picked it up but a voice at the back of my head reminded me about my still horrible Japanese skill. I was worried about talking to the owner if he/she calls. I’m pretty sure we’ll have a hard time understanding each other. The people here are honest, anyway. But I felt really terrible and I still do. I just hope that an honest person picked it up, and the owner was able to get it back.
