Answer 1

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his_31 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 32 . When we were eating at that cafe in Boston and a person who had 33 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without 34 , you went over and 35_the extra $2 into his hand. When we were leaving, you 36 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 37 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 38 this.” Last week, a young man 39 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 40 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much 41 is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 42 he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15 43 , which came to a little 44 $20. That is an easy mistake 45 both gauges run fast.

 Something made me think of you and 46 you did that night at the cafe in Boston. I handed the man $6. He was so 47 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 48 to give than to receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 49 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there, just in case some kid will get a_50_out of finding it.

Love always,

Mum
