"While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. "How many roses can I get for only five dollars, madam?" he asked.

"My mum was badly ill last year and I didn"t get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be rose as rose is her favorite. " After hearing it, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the assistant said, "Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you.
