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, _36502119

I want to thank you for teaching me a very   1lesson in life by the great example you   2. When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had   3his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any   4, you went over and put the   5$2 into his hand.

When we were leaving, you   6threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said   7like, “Some kid will really enjoy   8this.”

Last week, a young man   9me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have   10money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much   11is 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 had put in 15   13, which came to just over   14. That is an easy mistake   15both gauges run fast.

Something made me think of you and   16you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so   17and 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   18to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the   19and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it   20, just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
