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   36   at the front door of our house．A young man,   37   from head' to toe, explained that he had   38   out of petrol about 30 km up the road．He had left his pregnant （怀孕的） wife and his two children  39   at the car and said that he would hitchhike （搭便车） back．

As soon as I  40   a can with petrol, I took him back to his car, where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both  41   .They were wet and cold．I suggested that they   42   me back．

Before leaving, I had turned the heater   43   in the roadhouse, so when we went in, it was nice and  44   ．While the little ones played and ran  45    ,1 prepared bread and butter for the children, 46 hot chocolate for the adults．

It was about five a．m．before they  47   ．The young fellow asked me how much he should pay me and I told him that the petrol   48   had shown $ 15．He   49   offered to pay call-out fee, but I wouldn’t accept it．

About a month later,! received a  50   from Interstate, a large bus company that we had been trying to   51    to stop off at our roadhouse for a long time．It  52   out that the young fellow I had helped was its general manager, the most  53    person in the company．

In his letter, he thanked me again and   54   me that, from then on, all their buses would stop at my service station．In this   55   , a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefit．
