【題目】 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 valuable lesson in life by the great example you set. When we were eating at that cafe in Bondi and a person who had ordered his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it. Without any hesitation, you went over and put the extra $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you also threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said something like, “Some kids will really enjoy finding.”
Last week, a young man ahead of me in the line at a petrol (汽油) station didn’t have enough money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much short is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 petrol in his car but he had been looking at the wrong gauge (計量表) and had put in 15 litres, which came to just over $20. This is an easy mistake as both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and what you did that night at the cafe in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so surprised and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son. It’s better to give than to receive. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the ground and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it there just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
