Many years ago,I owned a service station and roadhouse on the main road between Melbourne and Adelaide.

One very cold,wet night at about 3:30 a.m.,there was a?? 41?? on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from?? 42?? to toe,explained that he had??? 43?? out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(懷孕的) wife and his two children?? 44?? at the car and siad that he would hitchhike(搭便車) back.

Once I had??? 45??? a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both??? 46?? ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he??? 47?? me back.

Before leaving,I had turned the heater?? 48?? in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and?? 49?? .While the little ones played and ran?? 50?? ,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the?? 51?? .

It was about 5 a.m. before they??? 52?? .The young fellow asked me how much he?? 53?? me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had??? 54?? $15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.

About a month later,I received a?? 55??? from Interstate,a large bus company that we had been trying to?? 56?? to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It?? 57?? out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most?? 58?? person in the company.

In his letter,he thanked me again and??? 59?? me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this?? 60?? ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
