【每日英语故事9月14日】——你爱我什么

John was waiting for the girl whose heart he knew, but whose face he didnt, the girl with the rose. Thirteen months ago, in a Florida library he took a book off the shelf and found himself intrigued with the notes in the margin. The soft handwriting reflected a thoughtful soul and insightfulmind.

In front of the book, he discovered the previousowners name, Miss Hollis Maynell. With time and effort he located her address. He wrote her a letter introducing himself and inviting her to correspond.

During the next year and one-month the two grew to know each other through the mail. A Romance was budding. John requested a photograph, but she refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldnt matter what she looked like. Later they scheduled their first meeting7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York.

"Youll recognize me, she wrote, by the red rose Ill be wearing on my lapel.So at 7:00 he was in the station looking for the girl with the red rose.

A young woman in a green suit was coming toward him, her figure long and slim and her eyes were blue as flowers. Almost uncontrollablyhe made one step closer to her, and just at this moment he saw Hollis Maynella woman well past 40. The girl was walking quickly away. He felt as though he split in two, so keen was his desire to follow her, and yet so deep was his longing for the woman whose spirit had truly companioned him and upheld his own.

He did not hesitate. He squared his shoulders and said, Im John, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me; may I take you to dinner?

The woman smiled, I dont know what this is about, son,she answered, but the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in the restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!

Its not difficult to admire Miss Maynells wisdom. The true nature of a heart is seen in its response to the unattractive.
