Oh ! my
God story NO. 25
Yasuto Nishitani
You don't say "I'm sorry" when you
are in trouble in America.
Because you will be the bad person if you
apologize.
So you don't apologize even if you are
wrong.
I can give you a good example.
A thief came into the garden of an absent
house.
The thief tripped over something.
He was injured.
Usually the thief has to apologize in this
situation.
But he didn't apologize.
On the contrary, he took the opposite
action.
He complained the owner of a house like this.
Why did you put this thing in the garden
?
It's too dangerous.
I was injured like this.
It's your fault.
The trouble became a trial.
After all the thief won a suit.
Oh ! my God.
If you don't say "I'm sorry", even
a thief can win a suit in America.
