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.
