Question

 (09·安徽)

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.

  Dear son,

      I want to thank you for teaching me a very 1  lesson in life by the great example you   2 . When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had 3   his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any 4  , you went over and put the 5   $2 into his hand.

      When we were leaving, you  6 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said  7  like, “Some kid will really enjoy 8   this.”

      Last week, a young man  9  me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 10  money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much 11  is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 12  he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15  13 , which came to just over  14 . That is an easy mistake 15  both gauges run fast.

      Something made me think of you and 16   you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 17 and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.

     Thank you,  son,  for teaching me that “it’s 18  to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the  19  and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it  20 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

                                           Love always, Mum
