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
31 . When we were eating at that cafe in Boston and a person who had
32 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without
33 , you went over and
34 the extra $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you
35 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said something like, “Some kid will really enjoy
36 this.”
Last week, a young man
37 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have
38 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much
39 is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car
40 he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量表) and had put in 15
41 , which came to a little over $20. That is an easy mistake as both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and
42 you did that night at the cafe in Boston. I handed the man $6. He was so
43 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
44 to give than to receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the
45 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.
Love always, Mum.
