Question

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 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 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（計量表）and had put in 15  13  , which came to just over  14  . That is an easy mistake  15  both gauge 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 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.
