When I was young , I lived in a quiet small town with my mom. My mom was beautiful and kind but one day she got a contagious(传染的) disease， which was said to be very serious. I was worried about her , seeing her becoming thinner and paler day by day. Mother's Day was coming. I decided to buy mom some flowers to make her happy. There was only one flower shop in the town-Mr. Rocco's.
It was time for Mr. Rocco to shut up shop when I hurried into the florist's (花店). "Now, what is it that you want?" Mr. Rocco turned to me. "I want the most beautiful flower you have." I replied, still breathing hard. "And just how much do you have to pay for this most beautiful flower?" I held out a wet hand showing a quarter and a dime. He nodded, thought for a while and then showed me a plant on the counter. "I can give you this one for 35 cents." he said. "Aw, no," I protested, looking desperately at the poor plant "it looks like a weed(野草)!" About 18 inches high, the plant was in a small pot covered with faded red paper. "Now trust me, boy — I promise that tomorrow morning when you get up, you will find your most beautiful flower." said Mr. Rocco. I knew him to be a good honest man, so I agreed to take it. I believed what Mr. Rocco said about the flower and hoped tomorrow morning there would be a nice surprise for my mom.
It was almost midnight when I arrived home. Mom was seriously sick and using the front bedroom. I looked in to see if she was asleep, and then quietly tiptoed in and set the plant on the table beside her bed. I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mother's Day.
