Roses For Mom

A man stopped at a flower shop to order a bunch of bouquets that will be bundled in the mothers residing within 250 miles of it. Once out of his car, he saw a little girl standing on the pavement as she sobbed. The man asked him why and answered by a little girl, "I want to buy a red rose for my mother. But I only have five hundred, while prices rose a thousand."

He smiled and said. "Come with me. I'll buy you flowers you want." Then he bought the little girl a red rose, as well as order a bouquet of flowers to be sent to his mother.

When finished and about to go home, he offered to take the little girl to go home. The little girl was rejoicing, he said, "Yes, of course. Will you deliver to where my mother?"

Then they both go to the place indicated the little girl, the public cemetery. where the little girl was laying flowers on a grave that is still wet.

Seeing this, the man's heart sank and be remembered. Rushing, he returned to the flower shop earlier and cancel their post, he took the bouquet ordered and driving his own vehicle as far as 250 miles to the house of his mother.
