Do you know that a lot of people in Shiga Prefecture have worked as
volunteers? I read about it in the newspaper and I thought of one person, Mr.
Ikeda.
I think most of you know him. He lives near here and he takes care of the
flowers along the road to our school. One day, I said to him, “Thank you very
much for taking care of the flowers.
beautiful.” He smiled and said to me, “It's my pleasure. I'm glad that you
I like seeing them.
They're very
enjoy O them. It's only a small thing, but I wanted to do it for the people in
our town.”
I wanted to do something for other people like Mr. Ikeda. So I decided to

hear that.
I found that even a small thing can move people if we do it for others. I
also learned that volunteer work will spread to other people in this way. I
hope everyone will do something for other people like Mr. Ikeda.
