Question

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   41   on the front door of our house. A young man, wet from   42   to toe , explained that he had    43   out of petrol about 30 km up the road. He had left his pregnant(懷孕的) wife and his two children   44   at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便車(chē)) back.

Once I had    45    a can with petrol, I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    46   ,saying that they were cold. Once the car had started, I suggested that he    47   me back.

Before leaving, I had turned the heater   48   in the roadhouse, so that when we went in, it was nice and   49   .While the little ones played and ran   50   ,I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the   51   .

It was about 5 a.m. before they    52   .The young fellow asked me how much he   53   me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    54   $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”, but I wouldn’t accept it.

About a month later, I received a   55    from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to   56   to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time. It   57   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most   58   person in the company.

In his letter, he thanked me again and    59   me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station. In this   60   ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
