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 and I
don’t have enough money.”
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.
