       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   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  . While the little ones played and ran   50   , I prepared bread and butter for the children, and hot chocolate for the   51  .

       About a month later, I received a   55   from interstate, a large bus company that we bad 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.

  The repairman told me, “No charge, Professor Pan! We’re friends.”

  “I’d rather pay, ” I replied.“If it’s free, I can’t afford it!”

  Chinese often refuse payment for professional services, insisting, “We’re friends now!” But then they show up later to ask me to tutor them in English, or get them into an American university, and I wish I’d have just paid the 30 yuan I owed them in the first place!

  According to the Americans, “There is no free lunch.”, means that there’s a price for everything.And I’m always looking around to figure out what this means.

  Many of our neighbours have given us fruit or flowers or costly teas, never asking anything in return.For years, a bicycle repairman has repeatedly refused to let me pay him.“Wait until you have something major to fix!” he insists.

  I mentioned to a peasant friend that I wished I had a stone mill to grind(磨)flour for bread.A month later he showed up with a beautiful mill that he’d had his uncle in the countryside carve from a solid block of granite(花岗石).

  Chinese generosity(慷慨)is a real education for Americans like me, who would rather avoid social entanglements(纠纷)and just hand over the money.But cash can’t compensate(补偿)for the greatest gift-friendship.

  When an American saw some of my friends sitting on bamboo stools under the trees, sipping(呷)tea, he said, “They must have nothing better to do.” “Actually,” I said, “they are professors, with plenty to do.But probably you are right in saying that, at this moment, they have nothing better to do.And neither do I!”?

  And I joined the group.When chatted about tea and Chinese cooking and how much my boys have grown since we arrived.One man said, “They were pocket-sized when you came here.Now they’re taller than you.How time flies!”

  How life flies.And Chinese are smart enough to share what they know they cannot keep.They freely give off their time, never too busy to help a friend.And they are teaching me, slowly, to both give and receive.So the next time someone says, “No charge.We’re friends!” I will thank them heartily.But if they show up later asking me to tutor them in English, I’ll make sure they tutor my son in Chinese as well, because there’s still no free lunch.

(1)

[  ]

B.
