• There was an orphan, who walked through the town, selling roses. She was poor, and wanted to earn some money, but nobody wanted to buy a flower. Everyday, she would go home with no money, and put the roses in a vase by her bed, because she thought they were special. Then, the next day, when she was walking through the town, a boy came up to her, with two dollars in his hand. "Can I buy a flower please?" The girl was shocked, and he gave him the biggest reddest rose, of the whole bunch. The boy gave her the money, and she thanked him, but the boy was already gone.
    She ran back home, because it started to rain. When she got to the orphanage, she was soaking wet, and coughing. She had caught pnuemonia. The doctors didn't know what to do, so overnight, it got worse, and the little girl died. News got around, and the boy recognized her picture in the paper. He located the orphanage, and brought back the rose the girl had given him, and rang the bell. When he went inside, he was escorted to the girls room, where he placed the rose in the little crack of the door. After a few days, the rose wilted, and turned black. But, the boy still remembers the girl today. heart
