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    1on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from      2to toe,explained that he had      3out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(懷孕的) wife and his two children    4at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便車) back.

Once I had    5a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both    6,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he    7me back.

Before leaving,I had turned the heater    8in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and    9.While the little ones played and ran    10,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the    11.

It was about 5 a.m. before they   12.The young fellow asked me how much he    13

me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵) had    14$15.He offered to pay “call-out fee”,but I wouldn’t accept it.

About a month later,I received a    15from Interstate,a large bus company that we bad been trying to    16to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time.It    17out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager,the most    18person in the company.

In his letter,he thanked me again and    19me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this    20,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
