Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very 21 lesson in life by the great example you 22 . When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who had 23 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any 24 , you went over and put the 25 $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 26 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 27 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 28 this.”
Last week, a young man 29 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 30 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much 31 is he?” she told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 32 had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 33 , which came to just over 34 . That is an easy mistake 35 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 36 you did that night at the cafe in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 37 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 38 to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 39 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it 40 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always,
Mum

Our village carpenter(木匠), John Hill, came one day and made a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I got home that evening, John was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for the job.
My wife said to me quietly, “It’s his ninth cup of tea today.” But she said in a loud voice, “It is a beautiful table, dear, isn’t it?”
“I will decide about that when I see the bill, ” I read:
One dining table, 10 November, 1989.
Cost of wood: $17.00
Paint: $1.50
Work: 8 hours ($1 an hour) $8.00
Total: $36.50
When I was looking at the bill, John said, “It’s been a fine day, hasn’t it? Quite sunny.” “Yes,” I said, “I’m glad it is only the 10th of November.”
“Me, too,” said John. “You wait. It’ll be a lot colder by the end of the month.”
“Yes, colder…. And more expensive! Dining tables will be $20 more expensive on November 30th, won’t they, John?” John looked hard at me for half a minute. Was there a little smile in his two blue eyes? I gave his bill back to him.
“If it isn’t too much trouble, John,” I said, “Please add it up again and you can forget the date.”
I paid him $26.50and he was happy to get it.
