For some time I’ve had a church member provide me with a rose to pin on my suit every Sunday．　　1　　 I always got a flower on Sunday morning, I really did not 　　2　　 much of it．It was a nice gesture that became 　　3　　．One Sunday, however, what I considered 　　4　　 became very special．

　　As I was leaving the Sunday service a little boy 　　5　　 and said, “Sir, what are you going to do with your flower?”“Do you 　　6　　 this?” I said, pointing to the rose pinned to my coat．

　　He said, “Yes sir．I would like it if you are 　　7　　 going to throw it away．” The little boy said, “Sir, I’m going to give it to my granny．My mother and father got 　　8　　 last year．I was living with my mother, but I could not 　　9　　, so she sent me to live with my grandmother．She has been so good to me that I want to give that pretty flower to her for 　　10　　 me．”

　　When the little boy finished I could hardly 　　11　　．My eyes filled with tears and I knew I had been touched in the 　　12　　 of my soul．I reached up and 　　13　　 my flower．With the flower in my hand, I looked at the boy and said, “Son, that is the 　　14　　 thing I have ever heard, but you can’t have this flower because it’s not 　　15　　．If you’ll look in front of the platform, you’ll see a big 　　16　　 of flowers．Different families buy them for the 　　17　　 each week．Please take those flowers to your granny because she 　　18　　 the very best．”

　　I hadn’t been 　　19　　 enough before, he made the last statement which I will always treasure(珍惜)．He said, “What a 　　20　　 day! I asked for one flower but got a beautiful bouquet．”
