 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 36 lesson in life by the great

example you 37 When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who

had __38__ his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay for it, without any

39 ,  you went over and put the     40     $2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you 41 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and

Said 42_ like, "Some kid will really enjoy 43 this. "

Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn't have

45 money to pay for his petrol.  I asked the money collector, "How much 46

is he?" She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his ear 47   he had been

looking at the wrong gauge (计量器) and had put in 15 48 ,  which came to just

 over  49'_. That is an easy mistake  50  both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the cafe in

Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 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 53 to give than receive". Now

when I sec a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you

and leave it _55 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.

Love always.   Mum.
