selling roses

    What do you think about flowers selling? Maybe you will say it’s easy to sell and you don’t need to worry about, and it’s sure that you will sell it out at least.
    At the beginning, I do think so. So my two friends and I ordered 60 roses, but another friends helped us to buy them. On February 10, after I received a telephone asked me to get the roses, I was so exiting that I got to a market where they were selling as soon as I could.
    “Oh, my God!” Thought I when I saw those roses. Why? The roses were not very beautiful, and there were sapless, black rings around the petals; the sticks were not straight, they were very crooked and half of them were too short! Suddenly I lost heart, and I did not think that they would be bought. I told my friends that the roses were not so good, but they said secretly:
    “Don’t worry about that, we have better at home!”
    At that time, I was half-believe, half-doubt. Sure enough, the half left home was also not very good, but better than they in market was.
    That evening, we began our lives of roses selling.
    We carried with the roses, went to Bailu Zhou. Furthermore, I asked my friend who was known in Internet. Bailu Zhou, a beautiful place for lovers, and it’s said that every evening many lovers will stay there.
    But, that night, only few lovers there. I don't know whether it’s cold or other reasons. However, many children were there and all of them also hold roses! It meant that you would not sell many roses. And the fact was we sold a rose to two men who gave it back to us as a present. At that time, I did not know what I should say, just smiled and repeated ”thank you”.
    After that selling experience, I became worried about how to sell them out. That period I had not good sleep and good eating. I always thought that what could I do to solve the problem.
    “We can go to Zhongshan Road to sell.”
    “We can ask our friends to help us.”
    “We can form these roses as a heart or something else.”
     ……
    We thought many ways, but none of them were good.
    At February 13 evening, I got a ring call from my roommate:” My friend wants to buy 90 roses. You are selling, aren’t you? So I told her, and she wants to buy your roses. Do you have 90 roses?”
    “90? Are you sure?” cried I. Oh I could not believe that I would sell them out!
    “Yes, I am sure!”
    “But, but……I just have 59 roses, does she still want to buy?”
    “Hold on please, I’ll ask her.”
     ……
    “Oh, yes, she wants. And, she will meet you at the gate of Xiamen University at 3.pm tomorrow!”
    “Oh, oh, oh! How I love you! You help me solve a big problem. Other wise, the roses will be left until they wither! Thank you! Thank you very much!”
    That night, I had a sweet sleeping!
    The next day afternoon, at the gate at 3.pm, I sold all the roses out finally! I griped the money tightly! Everything had been done. At that time, I felt so tired that I just wanted to go to bed and sleep a whole day!
