Kenji lived in a small town in Japan. His neighbour was an old man, who could not walk due to an accident. This had made him bad-tempered and unfriendly. However, Kenji always wished him a good day. One day, Kenji and his friends were playing in the park, when they felt the earth rumble. “Earthquake!” they shouted. They could see the buildings around them shaking. People were running out of their houses; Kenji suddenly remembered his neighbour who could not walk. While everyone ran to safety, Kenji ran back into the city. He ran back to his house and saw his neighbour was trying to crawl to safety. Kenji quickly picked him up and pulled him onto his back. Then he ran away to a safer area. They left just in time. As they were moving away, they saw a tree fall on the exact spot the old man had fallen on.
