Roses for Rose
Red roses were her favorites, her name was also Rose. And every year her husband sent them, tied with pretty bows. The year he died, the roses were delivered to her door. The card said, "Be my Valentine, "like all the years before.
Each year he sent her roses, and the note would always say, "I love you even more this year, than last year on this day. ""My love for you will always grow, with every passing year. "She knew this was the last time that the roses would appear. She thought, he ordered roses in advance before this day. Her loving husband did not know, that he would pass away. He always liked to do things early. Then, if he got too busy, everything would work out fine. She trimmed the stems, and placed them in a very special vase. Then, sat the vase beside the portrait of his smiling face. She would sit for hours, in her husband's favorite chair. While staring at his picture, and the roses sitting there.
送給羅絲的玫瑰
紅玫瑰花是她的最愛，她的名字也叫Rose。每年她的丈夫都要送她打了可愛蝴蝶結的紅玫瑰。他去世的那年，玫瑰花送到了她的門口，卡片上寫著："我的情人節禮物"，跟往年一樣。
每年他為她送紅玫瑰，卡片上總這樣說："我今年更愛你，比去年的今天更愛。""隨著逝去的歲月，我對你的愛一直在增長。"她知道這將是最后一次收到玫瑰花。她想，他是提前訂了玫瑰花。她親愛的丈夫不知道，他將走了。他總喜歡把事情做在前頭，這樣，如果他很忙的話，每件事都照樣做得妥妥當當。她整理好花莖，把它們插進一個特別的花瓶，然后，將花瓶放在他滿臉笑容的像片旁，她會在她丈夫喜歡的椅子上坐上好幾個小時，看著他的相片，玫瑰花放在那兒。
A year went by, and it was hard to live without her mate. With loneliness and solitude, that had become her fate. Then, the very hour, as on Valentines before, the door-bell rang, and there were roses, sitting by her door. She brought the roses in, and then just looked at them in shock. Then, went to get the tele phone, to call the florist shop. The owner answered, and she asked him, if he would explain, why would someone do this to her, causing her such pain?
"I know your husband passed away, more than a year ago, " The owner said, "I knew you'd call, and you would want to know. " "The flowers you received today, were paid for in advance. " "Your husband always planned ahead, he left nothing to chance. "
一年過去了，沒有他的日子很難過。孤獨和寂寞，成了她的命運。然而，在情人節這天，跟以往送花的時間相同，門鈴響了，在她的門口放著玫瑰花。她將玫瑰拿進屋，吃驚地看著它們。然后，撥通了花店的電話。她問店主能否向她解釋一下，為什么有人要這么做，引起她的痛苦?
