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.

It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 1 on the cool 2 . In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, 3 to the sound of them.
Autumn is a 4 season and life is uninteresting. The free days always me 5 . But one day, the sound of a violin 6 into my ears like a stream flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see what it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 7 in playing her violin.
I had 8 seen her before. The music was so attractive that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didn't realize that I had been 9 there for so long but my existence did not seem to disturb her.
Leaves were still falling. Every day she played the violin the corner of the building 10 I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only audience. The autumn seened on longer lonely and life became 11 . 12 we didn't know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believed she also liked me.
Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening devotedly, the sound suddenly stopped. To my 13 , the girl came over to me.
“You must like violin,” she said.
“Yes. And you play very well, Why did you stop?” I asked.
Suddenly, a 14 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual.
“I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 15 me,” she said.
“In fact, it was your playing 16 gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered. “Let us be friends.”
The girl smiled and I smiled.
I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure of the girl. She is like a 17 ; so short, so bright, like a shooting star giving off so much light that it makes the autumn beautiful.
There are many kinds of friends. Some are always 18 you, but don't understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but are close to you. Many people will step in your life, but only 19 friends leave footprints.
I shall always recall the autumn and the girl with 20 ．She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend.
