One day Mom and I were driving through the countryside. Back then I was 13 years old and always felt unhappy with Mom. However, little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one.
A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose pleasant smell filled the car. Suddenly, Mom pulled over. She hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat.
''It'll just be a minute,'' she said.
Impatiently, I caught sight of a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared empty handed.
Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask, ''Do you know someone there?'' She shook her head. ''Then what did you do with the flowers? '' She smiled slightly, ''I gave them to the receptionist. '' ''What?'' She laughed at my confusion. ''I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them.''
I kept silent for a moment. Then I asked her, ''Did you leave your name? '' To this she answered instantly, ''No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me.''
Lost in thought, I heard something burst loudly. It was our car that broke down! Nothing could be worse, because neither my mom nor I understood how to repair it, and we didn't know where the garage was.
Not knowing what to do, Mom and I decided to walk back to the nursing home and seek help. When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received them. While we were laughing and talking merrily, we received the news that the garage had got our car repaired.
As we drove along the road, a flower shop came into sight. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
