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 21 lesson in life by the great example you 22 . When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who had 23 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any 24 , you went over and put the
25 $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 26 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 27 like, “Some kid will really enjoy
28 this.”
Last week, a young man 29 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 30 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much
31 is he?” she told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 32 had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 33 , which came to just over
34 . That is an easy mistake 35 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 36 you did that night at the cafe in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 37 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 38 to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 39 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it
40 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always,
Mum
