English Story
Sunday, August 07, 2016
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.
Moral:
Life is Short. Spend much time as you can loving and caring
people who love you. Enjoy each moment
with them before it’s too late. There is
nothing important than family.
