Mothers day 母亲节

这个故事又让我想起了中国的一句古话,“树欲静而风不止,子欲笑而亲不待。”看来,对于深刻的生活感悟,无论是东方还是西方文化,都是有所领悟和认可的。

   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 aplaced 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.
    爱护自己的亲人朋友吧,用我们最真的感情,最好的方式,就在此时此刻。
