外面下着雪,博比站在后院,感觉越来越冷。博比不爱穿靴子,况且他也没有靴子可穿,所以只能赤脚站在雪地里。脚上的运动鞋薄薄的,已经磨出了好几个洞,不论怎样也抵挡不住冬季的严寒。

博比已经在后院待了整整一个小时。送给母亲什么礼物好呢?他绞尽脑汁,左思右想,心里一点主意都没有。他想着摇摇头:“不行,即便我知道送什么,也买不起。”

三年前博比的父亲去世了,之后,这个五口之家一直在生活的最底线上挣扎。不是因为母亲没有尽心尽力,只是她赚来的那点儿可怜的薪水远远不够家用。母亲在医院上夜班,她赚的那点儿少得可怜的薪水能够维持到现在已经不错了。

尽管家里很穷,但大家都相亲相爱,关系和睦。博比有两个姐姐和一个妹妹,母亲外出时,她们会把家料理得井然有序。

姐妹们都准备好了漂亮的礼物送给母亲。现在已经是平安夜了,但是博比依然两手空空。不管怎样,他心里总觉得不踏实。

博比擦了擦泪水,用脚踢着地上的雪,往街上的商店走去。对于一个6岁就失去父亲的孩子来说,这件事确实不容易,特别是想对父亲倾诉心里话时。

博比从一家家商店走过,从每个装饰华美的窗户往里望,里面的东西那样艳丽无比,又那样遥不可及。天渐渐黑了,博比极不情愿地往回走,突然,他看到路边的一个东西,在夕阳的映照下,闪闪发光。他走过去,蹲下身,发现那是一枚亮晶晶的一角硬币。

那刻,博比一下子觉得自己变成了富翁,手里揣着新发现的珍宝,顿时觉得一股暖流涌遍全身。他走进附近的一家商店,可不管在哪家店,店员都告诉他一角钱什么也买不到,先前的兴奋感顿时消失得无影无踪。

他走进一家鲜花店,排队等候买花。店主问他要买什么,博比拿出那枚硬币,问店主是否能买一枝鲜花作为送给母亲的圣诞礼物。店主看了看博比和他手里的那枚硬币,拍了拍他的肩膀,说道:“你等一会儿,我看看能不能帮上你的忙。”

博比一边等一边看着店里那一束束美丽的鲜花,即使他是个男孩,也可以理解母亲和女孩子为什么喜欢鲜花。

最后一位顾客离开了,商店关门的声音使博比清醒过来。店里只剩下博比一个人,他开始感到孤独,甚至有些害怕。

突然,店主出来了,走到柜台前。博比的眼前出现了由12朵玫瑰扎成的一束鲜花,长长的根茎上长着青翠的叶子,玫瑰花的周围是些小白花。所有这些花,由一根宽宽的银色丝带扎成一束。店主将这束花轻轻地放进一个白色的长方形盒子里,看到这些,博比的心立刻沉了下去。

“孩子,这束花10美分。”店主边说边伸手去拿博比手中的硬币。博比慢吞吞地把钱递给了他。这是真的吗?没有人愿意用一件东西换一角硬币!看到博比那迟疑不决的样子,店主补充道:“碰巧我有一角钱一打的玫瑰要卖,你想买吗?”
