Go on, go give your Mum a hug now !

A man stopped at a flower shop to order some flowers to be wired to his mother who lived two hundred kilometres away.
As he got out of his car he noticed a young girl sitting outside crying.
He asked her what was wrong and she answered, "I wanted to buy a red rose for my mother.
But I only have eighty cents and a rose costs three dollars."
The man smiled and said, "Come on in with me. I'll buy you a rose."
He bought the little girl her rose and ordered his own mother's flowers.
As they were leaving he offered the girl a ride home.
She said, "Yes, please! You can take me to my mother."
She directed him to a cemetery, where she placed the rose on a freshly dug grave.
The man returned to the flower shop, cancelled the order, picked up a big buch of flowers and drove the two hundred kilometres to his mother's house.
