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 　 16　 on the front door of our house.A young man,wet from 　　 17　　 to toe,explained that he had 　　 18　　 out of petrol about 30 km up the road.He had left his pregnant(怀孕的) wife and his two children 　 19　 at the car and said that he would hitchhike(搭便车) back.

Once I had 　 20　 a can with petrol,I took him back to his car where his two-year-old and four-year-old children were both 　 21 ,saying that they were cold.Once the car had started,I suggested that he 　 22　 me back.

Before leaving,I had turned the heater 　23　 in the roadhouse,so that when we went in,it was nice and 　 24 .While the little ones played and ran 　 25　 ,I prepared bread and butter for the children,and hot chocolate for the 　26 .

In his letter,he thanked me again and 　 34 me that,from then on,all their buses would stop at my service station.In this 　 35　 ,a little bit of kindness was rewarded with a huge amount of benefits.
