It was Mother's Day. Chatham was driving his new blue car and enjoying the beauty of nature. A flower shop by the road came into his eyes. So he stopped his car and took a look at some of the flowers. Just then he found a small, cute girl standing next to the shop. She was counting the money in her hand. It seemed that she was a little unhappy.
He went up to her and asked, "Can I help you?"
"I want to buy some red flowers for my mother. But I have only eighty rupees(卢比)," said the girl.
Chatham smiled and asked her to take him to the shop. He bought a big bouquet(花束)for her and said, "I can take you to your mother." The girl was very happy.
Finally they got to a grave. "Thank you, Uncle." Then she ran to the grave and put the roses in front of it.
Chatham stood there without words in a minute. He then made a U-turn(掉头)and drove back to the same flower shop. He picked some pink roses and drove down two hundred miles to meet his old mother.
His mother was happy to see him. But she said, "Why do you drive down all the way? You could talk to me over the phone. "
He just kissed his mother and said, "Happy Mother's Day!"
