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.<\/p>\n

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.”<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.”<\/p>\n

She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.<\/p>\n

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 home.<\/p>\n
