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

So at age 13 when Markita 41 in her Girl Scout（女童子军）magazine that the scout who sold the most cookies would 　42 an all-expenses-paid trip for two around the world, she 　43　 to sell all the Girl Scout cookies she could --- more Girl Scout cookies than anyone in the world, ever.
