Question

【题目】When shopping in a store, I met a boy. When I saw him waving his hands excitedly in the air and shouting in a loud voice, "Mommy, I'm here.", I knew he was mentally troubled.

I asked his name and he said proudly, "My name is Denny and I'm shopping with mother."

"Wow," I said, "that's a cool name. How old are you, Denny?"

"How old am I now, Mommy?" he asked his mother.

"You're fifteen years old, Denny; now be a good boy and let the man pass by."

I continued to talk to Denny for several more minutes about summer, bicycles and school. I watched his brown eyes dance with excitement because he was the centre of someone's attention.

Denny's mom thanked me for talking with her son. She told me that most people wouldn't even look at him, not to speak of talking to him. I told her that it was my pleasure and then I said, "There are plenty of red, yellow and pink roses in the garden, however, 'Blue Roses' are very rare and should be enjoyed for their beauty and distinctiveness. Denny is a 'Blue Rose' and if someone doesn't stop and smell that rose with their heart and kindness, then they've missed a chance to enjoy the beauty."

She was silent for a second, and then went away with tears in her eyes.
