1Every morning, an old man left a sunflower at the bus stop near the park.

2Mia saw him on her way to school and always wondered about the flower.

3He never took the bus, and he never spoke to anyone there.

4One rainy Tuesday, Mia finally asked him why he did it.

5The old man smiled and pointed at the bench beside the stop.

6He said his wife had waited there for him every evening after work.

7For forty years, she held his bag and asked about his day.

8She died last spring, so now he brings the flowers to her.

9Mia cried quietly and sat down with him for a while.

10The next morning, she arrived early with a sunflower of her own.

11Now two flowers wait on the bench, and the old man smiles more.
