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 fivecent 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 caré 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 fivecent 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
