Andy sat on the snow, he saw colder every second. Andy did not go pro - stuff that people usually walk on the snow in winter. The boy does not like boots and anyway he has no muscles that support. Canvas shoes, thin, battered but Andy was carrying had several punctures and we can not do that is to keep your feet warm for him.

Andy was sitting in the snow is long gone. And while trying to some, he still can not think of a Christmas gift for Mom. The boy shook his head sadly: "futile, even though they have devised what gift, I do not have money."

Since dad Andy took 3 years ago, his family severely depressed. His mother worked at night in the hospital, but with little pay just enough daughters and live temporarily after day. We have very small, do not know what you think of gift to give mom or not. It's not fair, is now Christmas Eve evening that he was sitting here, can not think of anything.

Note wipe the tears, Andy got up and went down the street - where many stores. Life is difficult when new 6 year old boy with no father, especially when one needs a man to confide. Andy goes each store to another store, looking at each one brilliant window. Everything was beautiful and beyond his ability.

It was starting up, Andy sad to go home, then suddenly he saw something gleaming in snow. Andy bent: 1 small shiny coin on earth. Certainly no one has the feeling of being rich as Andy felt at the time.

When Andy gripping "just picked treasure" her, he felt the warmth running through the body, and he boldly entered the first store, the joy of Andy immediately froze again While each salesperson told him that nothing to do with the tiny coin. He came out, saw a flower shop, Andy stood lined dose

When the shop owner asked Andy to do, he gave a reluctant co u and asked if I could buy one flower for Mother's Day Christmas Eve with this tiny coin, the shopkeeper looked at Andy, the boy put his hand on the shoulder and said: "Wait a minute, son, let me see what can be done for you."

While waiting, watching Andy gorgeous flowers and he understood why his mother is just like any other woman likes flowers so

Andy slowly put the coin in his hand store owners. Can not be real! Nobody sells him something with a coin anywhere! Noting the anxiety on his face, the store owner explained: "Fortunately, we have the flowers sold for a penny a bunch. Guys like it?"

This time Andy did not hesitate anymore. Out of the store, Andy heard the boss said to follow: "Merry Christmas, son."

When the store owner went back inside, his wife asked, "talking and bring flowers to?" Looking through the window and blinked to prevent tears in his eyes, the store owner said quietly: "A very strange thing happened. This morning, as I prepared to open the store, I feel like who told her to go to the next 12 beautiful roses because that would be a special gift. I thought I had imagined, but I'm still going to 12 rose to a place. And right now earlier, a boy in the store and want to buy flowers to wish her Christmas with 1 coin. Looking at him, I saw I many years ago.
