FLOWERS
“You have to finish packing,” said Anita’s mother. “Aunt Rosita will be here soon.” Anita frowned. She didn’t like thinking about riding in her aunt’s flower-shop van. If only she could be off to camp. Instead, Anita would be staying with her aunt all summer. Her mother just told her this news this morning.
Finally Aunt Rosita came. She and Anita sat down for lunch. As she ate, Anita thought about all the fun things her friends would be doing at Camp Splendor.
Soon lunch was over. “Let’s go,” Aunt Rosita said. Anita put her suitcase in the van. They drove to Aunt Rosita’s flower shop. The shop had lovely rosebushes outside.
“I’am so glad that you’re helping me this summer ,” said Aunt Rosita. “Salina Matos is having an operation today. Mr. Matos just ordered a bouquet of flowers. We will bring it to the hospital tonight.”
Aunt Rosita showed Anita how to cut the flowers. Anita started to make a bouquet. She worked carefully.
“Not bad,” said Aunt Rosita. “I’d like to add a few golden glows. Let’s also add this one. It is very special. It’s a ‘bicolor’ flower. See, it has two colours. People call it ‘snow-on-the-prairie.”
It was a bumpy, boiled – hot ride to the hospital. Anita held the vivid violet vase of flowers tightly on her lap. They soon arrived at the Children’s Hospital.
Mr. Matos was with his daughter. “This is for You,” Anita said to Salina. Salina opened her eyes and sat up. She burst into a smile.
“Wow!” said Mr. Matos. “She hasn’t smiled like this in ages.” He pointed to Aunt Rosita’s snow – on –the – prairie. “This flower is very beautiful.”
Anita and Aunt Rosita left after a short time. They were quiet for most of the ride home. Then Aunt Rosita spoke. “Are you glad you came?”
“I wasn’t at first. But I think I will be,” said Anita. Maybe the summer wouldn’t be so bad, Anita thought.
