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 very1lesson in life by the great example you2. When we
were eating at the café in Bondi and a person who had3his hamburger didn't have enough money to pay
for it, without any4, you went over and put the5$2 into his hand .
When we were leaving, you6threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said7like, "Some kids
will really enjoy8this."
Last week, a young man9me in the line at a petrol station didn't have10money to pay for his petrol.
I asked the money collector, "How much11is he?" She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car
12he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and put in 1513, which came to just over14. That
is an easy mistake15both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and16you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6.
He was so17and said, "But why would you do this for me?" I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you again, son, for teaching me that "it's18to give than to receive." Now when I see a five-cent
coin on the19and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it20, just in case some kid will get a kick
out of finding it.
Love always, Mum.
