	"Please use it" next to the mountain gate, there are a lot of canes. To a woman who just came down stairs right now I asked, "Is it stair enough to use a cane?" The answer is funny. "A cane is not necessary for a cheerful young person like you, not necessary". She seems to be far more, much more, a young woman than I am. I was happy, And that happiness lasted a couple of days.
