After spending the 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 road and said something like， "Some kids will really enjoy finding it."
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 （升） 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 young 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 kids will get excited to find it.
Love always，
Mum
