Morison and Philip were classmates. They lived in the same town. After they left school, Morison became the manager of a flower shop and Philip became a doctor in a hospital.
Philip made a girlfriend. He bought a red rose for her each day to show his love. The flowers made her very happy. Sometimes he took the rose to her himself. But when he was busy in the hospital, he asked Morison to give the rose to her instead of him.
One morning, Philip came into the flower shop and said to Morison. “I’ll go to another town to work today. I have no time to give the letter and the flowers to my girlfriend. Please give her the letter and twenty- four roses.”
In the evening, when Morison was closing the door of the shop, Philip came. “Morison, how many roses did you give my girlfriend this morning?” asked Philip angrily.
“I gave her thirty,” answered Morison.
“Why did you do that?” asked Philip.
“I thought you often bought roses for her in my shop. I want to give her six roses as the gifts. Six is a good number, you know,” said Morison.
“How foolish you are!” He threw his letter on the table. “Read it!”
Morison picked it up and began to read:
Dear Mimi,
I love you very much. Today is your birthday. Please accept my present- some roses, one rose is a year. And the roses are your age.
Yours,
Philip
“She returned them to me,” cried Philip, “you must go and explain it to her.”

Life is not easy, so I’d like to say “When anything happens, believe in yourself. ”
When I was a young boy, I was too shy to talk to anyone. My classmates often laughed at me. I was sad but could do nothing. Later, something happened, and it changed my life. It was an English speech contest. My mother asked me to take part in. What a terrible idea! It meant I had to speak before all the teachers and students of my school!
“Come on, boy. Believe in yourself. You are sure to win.”Then my mother and I talked about many difficult topics. At last I chose the topic“Believe in yourself”. I tried my best to remember all the speech and practiced it over 100 times. With my mother’s great love and encouragement(鼓励) I did well in the contest. I could hardly believe my ears when the news came that I had won the first place. I heard the cheers from the teachers and students. Those classmates who once looked down on(瞧不起)me now all said “Congratulations!” to me. My mother hugged me and cried excitedly.
Since then, everything has changed for me. When I do anything, I try to tell myself to be confident and I will do a great job. This is true not only for a person but also for a country.
