A
I was waiting for a phone call from my agent. He had left at message the night before, telling me that my show was to be cancelled. I called him several times, but each time his secretary told me that he was in a meeting and that he would call me later. So I waited and waited, but there was still no call. Three hours passing by, I became more and more and impatient. I was certain that my agent didn’t care about my work, and he didn’t care about me. I was overcome with that thought. I started to shout at the phone, “Let me wait, will you? Who do you think you are?”
At that time I didn’t realize my wife was looking on. Without showing her surprise, she rushed in, seized the phone, tore off the wires, and shouted at the phone, “Yeah! Who do you think you are? Bad telephone! Bad telephone!” And she swept it into the wastebasket.
I stood watching her, speechless. What on earth...?
She stepped to the doorway and shouted at the test of the house, “Now hear this! All objects in this room----if you do anything to upset my husband, out you go!”
Then she turned to me. Kissed me and said calmly, “Honey, you just have to learn how to take control.” With that, she left the room.
After watching a crazy woman rushing in and out, shouting at everything in sight , I noticed that something in my mood (情绪) had changed. I was laughing. How could I have trouble with that phone? Her anties helped me realize I had been driven crazy by small things. Twenty minutes later my agent did call. I was able to listen to him and talk to him and talk to him calmly.

After spending a weekend away with my adult son, I was so impressed by his generous heart that I sent him this letter.
Dear son,
I want to thank you for teaching me a very 36 lesson in life by the great example you 37 . When we were eating at that café in Bondi and a person who had 38 his hamburger didn’t have enough money to pay for it, without any 39 , you went over and put the 40 $2 into his hand.
When we were leaving, you 41 threw a five-cent coin onto the pavement and said 42 like, “Some kid will really enjoy 43 this.”
Last week, a young man 44 me in the line at a petrol station didn’t have 45 money to pay for his petrol. I asked the money collector, “How much 46 is he?” She told me he had meant to put $15 of petrol in his car 47 he had been looking at the wrong gauge(计量表) and had put in 15 48 , which came to just over 49 . That is an easy mistake 50 both gauges run fast.
Something made me think of you and 51 you did that night at the café in Bondi. I handed the man $6. He was so 52 and said, “But why would you do this for me?” I just smiled as I thought of you.
Thank you, son, for teaching me that “it’s 53 to give than receive”. Now when I see a five-cent coin on the 54 and want to pick it up, I think of you and leave it 55 , just in case some kid will get a kick out of finding it.
Love always, Mum
