A gentleman stopped his car in front of a flower store, he was going to order a bouquet of flowers from the florist and ask them to send it to his mother who was far away from home.
As the gentleman was about to walk into the store, he noticed a little girl sitting on the road crying. The gentleman walked up to the little girl and asked her,
"Child, why are you sitting here crying?"
"I want to buy a rose for my mom, but I don't have enough money." The child said. The gentleman felt heartbroken at hearing this.
"So ......" So the gentleman took the little girl by the hand and went into the flower store, ordered a bouquet of flowers for her mother and then bought a rose for the little girl. As he walked out of the flower store the gentleman offered the little girl a ride home.
"Do you really want to drive me home?"
"Of course!"
"Then you can take me to my mom's place. But uncle, where my mom lives, it's far from here."
"I should have known better than to drive you." The gentleman said jokingly.
The gentleman drove on as the little girl told him, but he didn't expect to come to a cemetery after walking out of the city and following the winding mountain road. The little girl placed the flowers next to a new grave, having traveled a long way to present a rose to her mother, who had passed away a month earlier. The gentleman dropped the girl off at home and then returned to the florist again. He canceled the bouquet he was sending to her and instead bought a large bouquet of flowers and headed straight to her home, a five-hour drive away, to present them to her in person.
A rose
It is better to have a grand funeral for the deceased
than to do a good job of honoring him while he is still alive

2:The Unlocked Door
A mother and daughter live in a remote cottage in a small village in the countryside. The mother is afraid of burglary and always chains three locks on the doorknob at night, while the daughter is tired of the boring and unchanging country life that resembles a painting in the landscape, and longs for the city, wanting to go to see the gorgeous world that she has imagined through the radio. Early one morning, the daughter leaves her mother's side in pursuit of her illusory dream. She sneaks away from home while her mother sleeps.
"Mom, please pretend you don't have a daughter. Unfortunately, the world was not as beautiful as she had imagined it to be. Without realizing it, she was on a path of degradation, sinking deeper into the muck from which she could not extricate herself, and it was then that she realized her own faults.
"Mom!" After ten years, the daughter, who had grown up into a *, dragged her broken heart and wretched body back to her hometown.
It was late at night when she returned home, and a faint light seeped through the doorway. She knocked gently on the door, but suddenly had a bad feeling. Her daughter startled her as she wrenched open the door. "How strange, mother never forgot to lock the door before." Her mother's thin body was curled up on the cold floor, asleep in a heartbreaking fashion.
"Mom ...... Mom ......" Hearing her daughter's cries, her mother opened her eyes and without a word wrapped her arms around her daughter's tired shoulders. After crying in her mother's arms for a long time, her daughter suddenly asked curiously, "Mom, why didn't you lock the door today, what if someone breaks in?"
The mother replied, "It's not just today, I'm afraid you won't be able to get in at night, so I haven't locked the door in ten years.
The mother waited for her daughter's return for ten years, and her daughter's room was decorated as it had been in the past. That night, the mother and daughter went back to the way they were ten years ago, locking the door tightly and falling asleep.
The love of family is the cradle of hope,
Thanks to the warmth of home,
giving the motivation to keep growing.
3:Hair in the lunchbox
In those poor days, many students could not even afford to bring a decent lunchbox to school, and that was the case with the student next to me. While his meals were always blackened edamame, mine often consisted of ham and poached eggs, which was a far cry from what I was used to.
And this one, he would always pick his hair out of his lunchbox before eating it as if nothing had happened. This uncomfortable discovery continued.
"It's obvious how sloppy his mom is to have hair in her lunch every day. The classmates privately discussed. In order to take care of the self-esteem of the students and not to show it, they always felt dirty, so their impression of the students began to drop. One day, after school was over, he called out to me, "If there's nothing else to do, why don't you come over to my house and play? Although I didn't want to, it was the first time since I was in the same class that he invited me to his home, so I was too embarrassed to turn him down.
With my friend, I went to a poor village located in the steepest terrain of Seoul.
"Mom, I brought my friend." After hearing the excited voice of his classmate, the door of the room opened. His aged mother appeared in the doorway.
"My son's friend is here, let me see." But his mother, who had stepped out of the room, only touched the beam outside the door. It turned out that she was blind in both eyes.
I felt a pang in my nose and couldn't say a word. Although my classmate's bento dish was always edamame, it was packed by my mother, who was blind, and it was not just a lunch, it was a lunch filled with my mother's love, and even the hair that was mixed in with the lunch was my mother's love as well.
Preconceived notions,
often affect the pattern of a person's life,
More observation, more exploration,
will have more unexpected discoveries.
4:The Postman Who Grows Flowers
There was a middle-aged letter carrier in a small village who, from the age of twenty, began to travel fifty kilometers every day to deliver stories of joy and sorrow to the homes of the residents day after day. Twenty years have passed in a flash, people and things have changed several times, but the road from the post office to the village, from the past to the present, has never had a branch or a half leaf, and there is only flying dust as far as the eye can see.
"How long will we have to walk this desolate road?"
He felt a sense of regret at the thought of having to spend his life on a bicycle on this flowerless, tree-less, dusty road.
One day when he had finished delivering the letter and was ready to go back with a heavy heart, he happened to pass a flower store. "Yes, this is it!" He went into the flower store, bought a handful of wildflower seeds, and from the next day onwards, he took them with him and scattered them on the road. And so, for a day, two days, a month, two months ......
Not long after, that has been back and forth for twenty years of the desolate road, but actually bloomed a lot of red, yellow flowers; summer flowers in summer, autumn flowers in autumn, four seasons bloom, never stop.
The seeds and the scent of the flowers were more delightful to the people of the village than any piece of mail the letter carrier had ever delivered in his life.
The letter carrier who whistles and pedals along roads filled not with dust but with petals is no longer a lonely letter carrier or a sad one.
Life is like a white horse,
Time flies,
Why not leave a good deed behind,
To provide a cool ride for future generations?
5:The Hundredth Customer
The noon rush hour had passed, and the customers had dispersed from the crowded snack bar, and the owner was about to take a breath and leaf through the newspaper when someone walked in. It was a grandmother and a little boy.
"How much does a bowl of beef soup and rice cost?" The grandmother sat down and took out her money pouch and counted the money and ordered a bowl of soup and rice, steaming hot soup and rice. Grandma pushed the bowl in front of her grandson, and the boy swallowed and looked at his grandmother and said,
"Grandma, did you really have lunch?" "Of course." The grandmother chewed slowly on a piece of radish pickle. In the blink of an eye, the boy had devoured his bowl of rice.
Seeing this sight, the owner walked up to the two men and said, "Congratulations, old lady, you're in luck today, you're our hundredth customer, so it's free." Then one day, a month or so later, the little boy was squatting across the street from the snack bar like he was counting something, causing the owner, who had inadvertently looked out the window, to jump in shock.
It turned out that every time the boy saw a customer come into the store, he put a small stone into the circle he drew, but the lunch hour was almost over, and there were not even 50 small stones.
Anxious, the owner called all his regular customers, "Are you busy? I want you to come and have a bowl of soup and rice, it's on me today." After calling many people like this, customers began to arrive one by one. "Eighty-one, eighty-two, eighty-three. ......" The little boy counted faster and faster. Finally when the ninety-ninth small stone was put into the circle of ?
That moment, the little boy hurriedly pulled his grandmother's hand into the snack bar.
"Grandma, this time it's my treat." The little boy said with a bit of triumph. The grandmother, who had truly become the hundredth guest, had her grandson entertained with a steaming bowl of beef soup and rice. And the little boy took a piece of radish kimchi and chewed it in his mouth just like his grandmother did before.
"Send a bowl to the boy too." The boss's wife said intolerantly.
"That little boy is now learning that he will be full even if he doesn't eat!" The boss replied.
Hooray ...... The grandmother, who had eaten with gusto, asked her young grandson, "Should I save some for you?"
Unexpectedly, the little boy patted his little tummy and said to his grandmother, "No, I'm very full, grandma, look ......."
One thought of kindness helps to grow a seedling,
A seedling can become a forest,
Everyone has love, society has love.
6:The World's Best Noodles
He was a single father raising a seven-year-old boy. Whenever the child comes back from playing with his friends and getting hurt, he feels the lack of his deceased wife's legacy especially y, and his heart can't help but send out a sad whimper. This happened on the day he left his child behind on a business trip. Because he had to catch a train, he didn't have time to eat breakfast with his child, so he left the house in a hurry. Along the way, he worried about whether the child had eaten and whether he would cry. Even when he arrived at the place of business trip, he called home from time to time. But the child always told him not to worry. However, because of the anxiety in my heart, I hastily finished my business and set off for home. He was relieved when his child was already asleep when he got home. The fatigue of the journey had left him weak all over. When he was about to go to bed, he was suddenly surprised: under the quilt, there was a bowl of spilled noodles!
"That boy!" He was so angry that he hit his sleeping son's buttocks hard.
"Why are you so misbehaving and making dad angry? You've been so naughty, getting the quilt? Who are you going to wash it for?" It was the first time he had physically punished a child since his wife passed away.
"I didn't ......" The child huffed and puffed in defense: "I haven't been naughty, this ...... This is for Daddy's dinner."
It turned out that the child had made two bowls of instant noodles, one for himself and the other for his father, to coincide with his father's return home. But because he was afraid that his bowl of noodles would get cold, he put it under a quilt to keep it warm.
Daddy listened and hugged his child tightly without saying a word. He looked at the remaining half of the bowl of noodles that had soaked up, "Ah ! This is the world's most... This is the most delicious instant noodles in the world!
Children, even young ones,
have their dignity,
If parents realize they have wronged their children,
be brave and say,
"I'm sorry! .
Stories can be soul-cleansing!
