middle of the highway, there were a long stretch of wild flowers. They were
beautiful and almost poetic (诗意的) in appearance.

over. She then stopped her car and picked a bunch from the soil. She carried them
imo her grandmother' s room when she arived at the hospitai and placed them in a
glass by her bed.
For a moment her grandmother scemed better than usuaL She thanked Mary
for the flowers, commented on their beauty and asked where she had gotten them.
Mary was flled with joy because of the flowers' seeming ability to wake
something up inside her sick grandmother.
Afterwards, Mary would pick a bunch of flowers on her way to visit grandma.
Each time Mary placed the flowers in tbe glass, her grandmother's eyes would
light up, and they would have a splendid conversation.
One morning in late October, Mary got a call that her grandmother had taken
a turm for the worse. Mary was in such a hurry to get to her grandmother that she
drove past her flower spot. She decided to turn around. She headed several miles
back and got a bunch.

unresponsive (无应答的). She placed the flowers in the glass and sat down to hold
her grandmother's hand. She felt a press on her fingers. It was the last
conversation they had.
