「這個給你，」隔壁座位的老奶奶遞給我一卷塑膠袋。
一時反應不過來，不曉得要塑膠袋做什麼。
「不要嗎？」老奶奶揚起下巴，用眼光示意我手上的那盒天婦羅。
「謝謝你，不用了，」這才瞭解是要給我裝天婦羅，我回答，「減少垃圾。」
其實我是刻意不用塑膠袋，常常用手端著餐盒搭車，這還是頭一次有陌生人出於好心主動問我。
那位老奶奶直到下車，都沒再說過一句話。這時我才反應過來，剛剛不經大腦說了蠢話。希望下次哪位老奶奶還是願意出於善意，主動關懷陌生人。

”This is for you, “ said the granny next to me on the train while handing over a roll of plastic bag.
I did not realise what the bag for.
”You don’t want it?” she left her chin to point to the box of Tempora on my hands.
”No, thanks, “ I realised and replied, “ to reduce the waste.”
Instead of a plastic bag, I often hand carry the meal box on the train. However, this was the first time that a total stranger offered me kindness in Japan.
The granny did not say a word til she got off the train. Then, I suddenly realised that I had said stupid things without thinking. Hope the granny is still willing to offer a stranger her kindness next time.
