---THE GIFT ~~

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 coming back again and again to the man's flowers. The 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. ~~

"Have you had a kindness shown? Pass it on. Twas not meant for thee alone, pass it on. Let it travel down the years, let it wipe anothers tears. Till in heaven the deed appears. Pass it on."
