Bennet Cerf relates this touching story about a bus that was bumping along a
back road in the South. In one seat a wispy old man sat holding a bunch of fresh
flowers. Across the aisle was a young girl whose eyes came back again and again
to the man's flowers. This time came for the old man to get off. Impulsively he
thrust the flowers into the girl's lap. "I can see you love the flowers," he
explained, "and I think my wife would like for you to have them. I'll tell her I
gave them to you." The girl accepted the flowers, then watched the old man get
off the bus and walk through the gate of a small cemetery.
