On New Year 's Eve, I saw a homeless man sleeping inside the station. It was crowded and people passed him quickly without noticing him. I hesitated to pass by, feeling pity for him, I became sad. Despite the next day being New Year 's Day, he would have nothing to eat. Could I leave him as he was? I couldn’t. So I bought him a rice ball and some hot corn soup at a nearby store.
