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:
You never know when time might take the next person away forever,
so do your best to have a great time with them now on earth.
