My brother, mother and I live in a rural district of Hawaii．Our farm is at least twelve miles away from the most basic of services．Therefore, I take weekly trips to the shop to get living goods．About a month ago, 1 finished putting all the things on the car and prepared to leave．As I settled into my seat, a piece of paper on the ground caught my eye．I picked it up and read it carefully．
The form was a receipt(收据)from the State Motor Vehicle Department, recording the owner's payment of her Vehicle' s Registration fees(车辆登记费)．At first I thought that I could find the owner．So I waited there for about an hour．The form might be carried away by the wind in the crowded parking lot．Would I find the owner? I looked over the form for contact or any personal data, perhaps a license tag or telephone number．I checked the date and the fees paid, noted the name of the owner and pocketed the paper．I concluded that the best and easiest step to take was to put the form in an envelope and send it to the owner the next morning．
By the end of the week, I received a beautiful "thank you" letter from a very grateful and happy woman containing a hand written message and a card．In the letter, the owner explained how the wind rudely took her receipt away from a pocket in her car's passenger door．She had searched worriedly for quite some time．
It felt great to know I'd helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that at first sight seemed little and unimportant．

His mother looked at him standing there expecting payment．I could see a thousand memories flashed through her mind．So she picked up the pen and turning the paper over, this is what she wrote：
For nine months I carried you, growing inside me No Charge
For the nights I sat up with you, doctored and prayed for you No Charge
For the toys, food and clothes and wiping your nose No Charge
When you add it all up, the full cost of my love No Charge
Well, when he finished reading, he had big tears in his eyes．He looked at his mother and said,“Mummy, I love you．”Then he took the pen and in great big letters wrote on the“bill”“All paid．”
