Many years ago, I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.
One very cold, wet night at about 3:30 a.m., there was a  36  on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from  37  to toe, explained that he had   38  out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant（怀孕的） wife and his two children  39  at the car and said that he would hitchhike （搭便车）back.

In his letter, he thanked me again and informed me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this case, a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
