The Flower You Eat

　　Everything was ready for the first Thanksgiving Day feast (感恩节宴会) . It was 1621. The men had been out hunting and there was much deer meat and turkey (火鸡) . The fields had yielded (生长出) their rich harvest of corn and pumpkin (南瓜). The women had been busy cooking and baking (烘烤) and the invited Indian(印第安的) guest seemed to be eating white flowers at which the pilgrims (移民) marveled (惊奇) . When the Indian saw the puzzled expressions (表情) on the white men's faces, he smiled and drew some seeds from one of the two deerskin bags which he carried. He placed them on the hot stones near the fire. Then he waited and suddenly the seeds began to hop (跳) about and to burst with a popping noise.

　　Pop! Pop! Pop!

It was Mother’s Day. John was so busy with his work that he couldn’t go back home. When he walked by a flower shop in the evening, an idea came to his mind. “I’ll send Mum some roses (玫瑰).”

While John was picking his flowers, a young man went inside. “How many roses can I get for only five dollars, Madam?” he asked. The shop assistant told him that roses were as expensive as forty dollars a dozen (一打). Maybe he would be happy with carnations(康乃馨). She told him they were a lot cheaper than roses.

“No, I have to have red roses,” he said, “My mum was badly ill last year and I didn’t get to spend much time with her. Now I want to get something special, it has to be roses, as the rose is her favorite.”

After hearing this, John said he would pay the rest of the money for the young man. Moved by both of them, the shop assistant said, “Well, lovely young men, thirty dollars a dozen, only for you two.” Taking the roses, the young man almost jumped into the air. He thanked John, and ran out of the shop. It was well worth twenty-five dollars John paid to see the exciting moment. Then John paid for his dozen of roses and told the shop assistant to send them to his mother.

As he walked out, he felt nice. Suddenly he saw the young man crossing the street and going into a park. But soon he realized it was not a park but a cemetery (墓地). Crying, the young man carefully laid the roses, “Mum, oh, Mum, why didn’t I tell you how much I loved you? God, please help me find my mum and tell her I love her.”

Seeing this, John turned and quickly walked back to the shop. He would take the flowers home himself.
