shell script for getting the file size

Hi

can some one please help me how i can get the output i require:

My text file "sample.txt" contains the text like below

Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_fedora-lv_root
15G 2.6G 12G 19% /hari
Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/vg_fedora-lv_root
15G 2.6G 12G 19% /abc

Now if i do ---- grep hari sample.txt it returns me --- 15G 2.6G 12G 19% /hari

what parameters should i use to get only the 15G (Infact the size only )
