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.
