10.
Paul was a successful businessman. He had been on the road visiting people for more than a month without going home. He couldn’t wait to get back to see his wife and children. It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and he usually tried to make it “back home”, but this year he was just too busy and too tired. The day when he was driving in a small town, he saw a flower shop. He said to himself, “I know what I will do, I’ll send my mother some roses. ”
He stopped and went into the flower shop and saw a young man talking to the girl in it. “How many roses can I get for five dollars, Ms.?” the boy asked. The girl was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with something else.
“No. I have to have roses,” he said, “my mom was sick so much last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses, because that is her favorite. ”He was stubborn.
The girl in the shop looked up at Paul and was just shaking her head. Something inside of Paul was touched by the boy’s voice. He wanted those roses so badly. Paul looked at the girl and silently said that he would pay for the boy’s roses.
The girl looked at the young man and said, “Okay, I will give you a dozen red roses for your dollars. ”The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran outside. It was worth over fifty dollars just to see that kind of excitement.
Paul ordered his own flowers and asked the girl to have it delivered to his mother. After that, with a relief he drove down the road. Not long after his driving, he saw the boy walking to a graveyard (坟地).
