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.
