Life-Changing Sale

The task of the flower shop is to organize its activities in such a way that it can satisfy the needs of any customers, regardless of their social status and wallet size, to enable anyone to purchase flower goods. Even one flower sold will give someone joy.

I remember one day a poor young man came into my store and informed me that he wanted to buy a bouquet for his beloved. His money was enough for only one rose. I helped him choose the most beautiful, and told how to care for her, wrapped her in a beautiful package. The man thanked and left.

After some time, a couple shining with happiness came into the store. The girl told me that she knows that the best roses are sold in my store. I was pleased to hear that. The man said that they came to choose a bouquet of roses for their wedding. By the voice I recognized in him that of my old friend who had bought a rose. I accepted the order for the bouquet for the wedding day. The man thanked me for the service and said that the rose I bought stood for a whole week, and that this rose changed his whole life.

So the sale of just one rose, made with love and attention to the visitor, turned for me then with an expensive order of a huge bouquet. Flowers really have magical powers.
