"Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn't have 45 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, "How much 46 is he?" She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his ear 47 he had been looking at the wrong gauge (计量器) and had put in 15 48 , which came to just over 49'_. That is an easy mistake 50 both gauges run fast.Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the cafe in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 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 53 to give than receive". Now when I sec a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it _55 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.Love always. Mum. 36.
