A man
stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who
lived two hundred miles away.
As he got
out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting on the curb sobbing.
He asked
her what was wrong and she replied, “I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.
But I only have seventy-five cents, and a rose costs two dollars.”
The man
smiled and said, “Come on in with me. I’ll buy you a rose.”
He bought
the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers.
As they
were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can
take me to my mother.”
She
directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man
returned to the flower shop, canceled the wire order, picked up a bouquet and
drove the two hundred miles to his mother’s house.
