Two good Samaritans buzzed into the Auckland Zoo carpark on a Vespa at the weekend, randomly handing out Christmas cards containing $100 apiece.
Mother of two Amelia Dale, who lives on a farm near Timaru, was amazed to find the envelope given to her family by the middle-aged pair ona bright red scooter held a gift.
It contained a card inscribed with the exhortation "Work hard, have fun, help people" and two $50 bills.
She was going to the zoo with her builder husband, Mark, their two children aged 5 and 6, their nanny, the Absolom family from Hawkes Bay and an Auckland friend.
"We are really touched. I just think those people are amazing. We were totally blown away. They were gone before we had a chance to thank them. How very thoughtful, kind and generous. So to whoever you are, we say thank you and wish you the most amazing Christmas."
