"The Integrity Of Love"
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
placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, cancelled
the wire order, picked up a bouquet and drove
the two hundred miles to his mother's house.
