Answer the questions.(根据以下内容回答问题) 4’It was coming up on Mother’s Day, and John usually tried to make it "back home", but this year he was just too tired. He was in a small town just outside of Little Rock when he walked by a flower shop. He said to h imself, “I know what I will do. I'll send Mom some roses.”He went into the small shop and saw a young man talking to the clerk. "How many roses can I get for Six dollars?" the young man asked. The clerk was trying to explain that roses were expensive. Maybe the young man would be happy with carnations."No. I have to have roses,” he said. "My Mom was sick so much last year and I didn't get to spend much time with her. I want to get something special. It has to be red roses because that's her favorite.” He insisted.The clerk looked up at John and was just shaking her head. Something inside of John was touched by the young man's voice. He wanted to help the young man, so he looked at the clerk and silently mouthed that he would pay for the young man's roses. After that, the clerk looked at the poor young man and said, “Okay, I will give you a dozen red roses for your six dollars.” The young man almost jumped into the air. He took the flowers and ran from the store. It was worth the extra thirty-five dollars just to see that kind of excitement, John thought.John ordered his own flowers and had the clerk ensure that delivery would include a note telling his mother how much he loved her. As he went away from the shop, he was feeling very good. As he waited at the crossroads, he saw the young boy walking down the sidewalk. He watched him cross the street and enter a park through two huge gates. Suddenly, he realized it wasn't a park. It was a cemetery. He could see the young man turn there by gate and walk along the fence.He began to follow the young man down the fence line. The young man stopped by a small monument(纪念碑)and went to his knees. He carefully laid the roses on the grave and began to sob. John stared at the young man's heaving body and listened to his crying.As he cried, he heard the young man speak, “Mommy, oh Mommy, why didn't I tell you how much I love you? Jesus, please, find my Mommy. Tell my Mommy I love her.”John turned, tears in his eyes, and quickly walked back to the shop.93.
