It was Mother’s Day and I was shopping at the local supermarket with my five-year-old son, Tenyson. As we were 1 , we realized that only minutes earlier an 2 woman had fallen over at the entrance and hit her head on the ground. 3 was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. 4 , a lot of people stopped to help out.
While we were walking towards the 5 , Tenyson became very 6 about what had happened to the elderly couple. Seeing that there was a flower stall(摊位) at the front of the supermarket, he said, “Why shouldn’t we 7 the lady a flower? It will make her feel better.” I was 8 that he’d come up with this 9 idea. So we went over to the flower seller. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful 10 .”
By now medical staff had arrived, and were 11 the injured woman. We gave the flower to the woman’s husband and I told him it was 12 my son. At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you very much.” He then turned to me, “You have a 13 son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”
The man bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. 14 being badly hurt, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with 15 in her eyes and gave him a little smile.
