Several decades of years ago, I ran 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(怀孕的)wife and his two children 　44　 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车)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　 e 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　 young fellow asked me how much he 　53　 me and I told him that the petrol pump(加油泵)had 　54　 $ 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.
