The love letter
I was heading into school on the train when a Japanese woman approached me and asked me to read out aloud a letter that someone had written to her. Her English was quite good, but the handwriting was very bad so she need help to read it. It turned out being a love letter including a poem twently lines long. It was quite a strange experience reading such a letter and trying to summarise the contents on a packed train.
