It was Mother’s Day. A man stopped his car at a flower shop to order some flowers. He wanted the shopkeeper to send the flowers to his mother, who lived two hundred miles away.
As he got out of his car, he found a young girl sitting on the road crying.
He asked her what was wrong and she answered, “ I want to buy a red rose for my mother, but I only have seventy-five cents. A rose costs two dollars.”
The man smiled and said, “Come into the shop with me, I’ll buy you a rose.”
He bought the little girl a rose and ordered his own mother’s flowers. As they were leaving, he offered to drive the girl home. She said, “Yes, please! You can take me to my mother.” She brought him to a cemetery(墓地). Where she placed the rose on the grave(墓碑).
The man was moved. He returned to the flower shop, picked up the flowers he ordered and drove two hundred miles to his mother’s house.

May 29th
Dear Jenny,
I’m sorry you’re ill at home and can’t come to school this week, let me tell you what you have on Monday next week.
We have math at 8:00. It’s boring, I think! Then we have English. That’s interesting, I know you love English. Next is P.E. . The fourth lesson is art. That’s my favorite subject! In the afternoon, we only have two classes. We have history with Mr Chen. He is fun but history isn’t. Then at 2:00 we have science with Miss Jones. I don’t like her because she is too strict. Then we go and see a movie. It’s a cartoon — Tom and Jerry. And I like it very much. In the evening, we have a party, because the day is June 1st.
Yours,
Ben
