When I was young，flowers filled my mom’s garden each spring. I never thought that Mom had done much about them behind the scenes（在幕后），until she shared her secret with me.
One day last November，Mom and I spent a whole morning planting flower bulbs. I dropped one in each hole and covered it over with soil. My fingers were numb（麻木的）by the time we finished. However，the ground looked just as flower bulb empty and flat as it had been before. Then Mom told me to wait. I didn’t only wait—I watched. I watched hopefully all through the winter...
On the last day of April，I went outside to find the garden full of colorful flowers. Our hard work paid off.
“My boy，tomorrow morning，”Mom said，“we will walk the neighborhood and leave a basket of flowers on each doorstep.”
“What?”I almost cried. “Are we selling our flowers?”
“Of course not，”she said excitedly. “In fact，nobody will even know they’re from us. We’ll leave them at our neighbors’ as a surprise. Doesn’t that sound fun?”
“To me，it doesn’t sound fun at all，”I replied unwillingly. “They’re our flowers. We should keep them for ourselves!”
“Flowers are like kindness，”Mom said. “Their beauty is meant to be shared.”
Early the next morning，Mom woke me up. We brought the baskets and stopped near the first house. I took one basket，set it by the doorstep and rang the bell. Then we quickly ran away，ducked behind the trees and waited.
Finally，the door opened. A man came out，looking surprised. He picked up the flower basket and then smiled. Mom hugged me. I got a good feeling inside. Now I knew what she meant about beauty sharing. I couldn’t wait to get to the next house.
By the time we got home，I was grinning（咧着嘴笑）from ear to ear. The garden was empty，but my heart was full.
