We all went to the plant sale held in early May every year, just in time for Mother"s Day.
When I was in Grade Three, I wanted to surprise my mother with a gift, but I didn"t have any money. My elder sister gave me some. I carefully made my selection(选择) at the plant sale. I looked at all the
plants on sale very carefully and finally chose a lovely geranium (天竺葵). Once I had brought it home, I
hid it on the neighbor"s porch (门廊).
On Mother"s Day, I was bursting (突然打开) with pride when I gave her the plant. I remember how bright her eyes were, and how pleased she was with my gift.
A few years later, my younger sister wanted to buy a geranium for our mother. As my elder sister did
for me, I gave her some money to buy one at the plant sale. She arrived back from the sale full of nervous excitement. The geranium was hidden in a paper bag under her sweater, "I looked at every plant," she
explained, " and I know I got the best one ! "
With a sweet sense of family tradition(惯例) , helped my little sister hide that geranium. I was there
when she gave it to my mother, and I watched them both bursting with happiness. My mother noticed me watching. She gave me a soft, secret smile. I felt a tug(拽) at my heart as I smiled back. I wondered how my mother could pretend to be surprised at this gift from her sixth child. But as I watched her eyes light up with pleasure at the sight of the most special gift, I knew she was not pretending.
