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 valuable lesson in life by the great example you   31 . When we were eating at that cafe in Boston and a person who had  32 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without   33 , you went over and   34  the extra $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you   35  threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said something like, “Some kid will really enjoy   36  this.”
Last week, a young man   37  me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have   38  money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much   39  is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car   40  he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15   41 , which came to a little over $20. That is an easy mistake as both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and   42  you did that night at the cafe in Boston. I handed the man $6. He was so   43  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   44  to give than to receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the   45  and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there, just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always, Mum.

A boy walked along Carver Street, singing a sad song. He walked with his head down. Once he looked up and noticed the sign across the empty street, painted on the side of an old house. On the sign a big woman with yellow hair and a five-mile smile held out a big bottle. “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola.” the sign said.
“Boy!” The silence was cut by a sudden cry. He turned around quickly to see who had called.
An old woman was standing at her door.
“You boy! Come here this minute.”
Slowly the boy  1 onto the cold flat stones leading to the old woman's house. When he arrived at her house, she  2 out her hand and wrapped her  3 old fingers around his arm.
“Help me inside, boy,” she said. “Help me  4 to my bed. What's your name?”
“Joseph,” he said.
The old woman on the bed tried to  5 up, raising berselfon her elbow (肘) . Water  6 from her eyes and mouth. The sight of her made Joseph feel  7 .
“I'm   8 , Joseph. You can see that, can't you? I want you to write a will(遗嘱) for me. There's paper and pencil on the table there.”
Joseph looked down at the  9 , and then looked out of the window. He saw the sign again, “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola.  I want my silver pin to   10 to my daughter."
Joseph bent his small body over the table and  11 the pencil slowly across the paper.
“There's my Bible.(圣经)”The old woman said. “That's for my daughter, too. I want a  12  Christian burial (基督葬礼) with lots of singing. Write that down, too. That's the last - 13 of a poor old woman.”
The boy labored over the paper. Again he looked out of the window.
“Here. Bring it here so I can  14 it.”
Joseph found the Bible, and,  15  the paper inside, laid it next to the bed.
  16 me now, boy,” she sighed(叹气).“I'm tired.”
He ran out of the house.
A cold wind blew through the  17 window, but the old woman on the bed
  18 nothing. She was dead. The paper in the Bible moved back and forth in the wind.  19 on the paper were some childish letters, which  20 the words, “Coca-Cola. Drink Coca-Cola.”

We lived in a very quiet neighborhood. Earlier that evening my wife had asked me to go to the   1 to get some soft drinks. It seemed like this would be a good time to let my teenage daughter Holly practice her  2 , so I allowed her to go to the store in my truck.

At dinner my son talked about how much he liked my truck. I  3  having it, but I said: “Guy, my heart is not set on that truck. I like it but it is just metal and won’t  4  forever. Never set your heart on anything that won’t last.

We were talking  5  we heard a loud noise.  6  hearing it, the whole family ran outside. My son shouted; “Dad! Dad, Holly crashed your truck!”

My heart sank and my mind was flooded with conflicting (矛盾的) thoughts. Was anyone hurt? Who else was 7? As I ran to the door, I heard a voice in my heart say: “Here is a chance to show Holly  8  you really love. She’ll never forget it.”

The  9 had happened in my own driveway. Holly had  10  my truck into our family van (搬运车). Because of her  11 , she had confused the brakes (刹车) and the gas pedal (油门). Holly was unhurt  12  but when I reached her, she was crying and saying “Oh, Dad, I’m sorry. I know how much you love this truck.” I held her in my arms as she cried.

Later that week a friend asked what had happened to my truck. I told her the whole story. Her eyes moistened (湿润) and she said: “That happened to me when I was a girl. I  13 my dad’s car completely. When I got home, my dad knocked me to the ground and began to  14  me.”

Over 40 years later, she still felt the  15 of the night, which was a deep wound on her soul.

I remember how  16 Holly was when she crashed our truck, and how I   17 her. One day, when Holly  18  on her life, I want her to know that I love her a thousand times  19 any piece of  20 .
