The following beautiful story was sent by Robert Craiu,
Singapore:
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, cancelled the wire order,
picked up a bouquet and drove the two hundred miles to his
mother's house.
