Illegally Parked Bicycles

One morning Takashi rode his bike to the station very fast because he was late. When he arrived at the station, he left his

bike on the street to save time. While he was running from his bike to the station, he saw a blind woman with a white cane. She was walking very slowly.

When Takashi got to the station, he felt bad. He thought, “I should move my bike to a parking area. I'll take the next train.” He ran back to his bike.

When he got to it, the blind woman was trying to go past many bikes on the street. She was having trouble. So Takashi helped her.

After he moved his bike to the parking area, he hurried to the station again. He was a few minutes late for school, but he had a

good feeling, because he knew he did the right thing.
