Emily Worthington is the owner of a flower shop. One day, while Emily was working, a woman came into her shop and bought some flowers. After paying for them, the woman handed the flowers back and said, “Please give these to someone who might need them today.”

    Emily was moved by the gesture from the stranger. After the woman walked away, Emily turned to the vendor (小贩) next to her. The vendor saw the whole thing too. Emily asked, “How do I know who to give these flowers to?” The vendor said, “You’ll know.”

    Later in the day, while Emily was tidying up, another woman came to her shop. The woman asked if Emily could make flowers for a funeral. The woman explained that her sister-in-law had recently passed away (去世) from an illness.

    “At that moment, it was like a light bulb clicked,” Emily said. “I realized that she was the one I’d been waiting for all day to give these flowers to.”
