ペイ・フォワード/Pay It Forward

 こんな題名の映画、ありましたよね。

 善意を人に回していこうという考え方。

 昨日、ジョギングに行こうと思ったら小雨が降っていて、やめようかなと考えましたが、10分20分でもいいから足だけ動かそうと、近くの道を走ることにしました。すると、目に付いたのは、お財布。

 拾って交番に立ち寄るも、早朝すぎて誰もいません。交番の備え付けの電話から区の警察署に連絡しました。10分ほどで警官の方が来るというので、それまで近所を走りました。

 一緒に中を確認すると、現金は小銭だけだったのですが保険証や免許証などが入っていたので、見つけることができてよかったです。後ほど警察の方から連絡があり、無事、持ち主の手元に戻ったそう。

 ジョギングはほとんどできませんでしたが、今日はこういうことをすることに決まっていたのかも?

There is a movie with the same title, isn't there?

You pay forward your goodwill.

I was going to go for jogging yesterday. I almost decided not to run, but had a second thought to jog for 10 or 20 minutes so I took a route in my neighborhood where I usually don't go. Then I found a wallet.

I went to the police station in my hood, but it was too early for someone to be there. I picked up the phone installed in the box that I could directly talked to someone at the bigger station. They said someone would come in 10 minutes so I was running around till then.

When they arrived, we checked what's inside together. There were only some coins for cash but also the health insurance card and driver's license so I was quite happy I found it. Later the police called me telling the owner received his wallet that day.

I could barely jog but maybe it was meant to be that way today.
