Last fall, I went chasing autumn leaves all the way to Saruhashi Bridge, and I actually cried!
After getting off the train at Saruhashi Station, I realized I was in trouble. I was the only person at the station, and there were no taxis or buses.
I had no choice but to go into a laundromat and ask for directions. A young mother made several phone calls for me, but she couldn't find a taxi. Then she suddenly said, “I'll drive you there!” She quickly gathered up her laundry and hurried to her car. Only after I got in did I realize there was a sleeping baby in the car!
When we arrived at Saruhashi Bridge and I got out, I asked how I could thank her. She said, “Just enjoy the beautiful autumn leaves at Saruhashi Bridge to your heart's content!”
I cried! Because her warmth was more beautiful than the autumn leaves!
