朝日新聞の毎週金曜日に掲載される「あのね」の記事をいつも楽しみにしているのですが、何故か今日は「あのね」がありませんでした。代わりに「あのね」の記事を連想させるリーダーズダイジェストに載っていた記事を紹介します。
I was relaxing on a recent Saturday when the doorbell ring. Two pleasant grade-school children, a girl and a boy, were standing at my front door. Each held a few pieces of paper and an envelop stapled together. "Hello," said the girl. "We are raising money for a jogathon for Weldon Elementary. Would you like to donate?"
"Maybe," I responded. "Just where is this money you are collecting going to go?" They answered in unison, "Oh, it goes in this envelope." I smiled and handed each a five-dollar bill.
