REASON TO LOVE
227 Words
One day, a girlfriend asked her boyfriend to give her at least one reason behind his love for her. The boyfriend was surprised; he hadn’t been expecting such a question. “Why do you want to know? Is it not enough that I love you?” he asked. But the girl was insistent. She wanted to know.
The boy pulled out a sheet of paper from his bag and started writing in it. The girl was surprised, but she held her tongue until he stopped writing and handed over the paper to her.
On it was written, “I have written down 100 reasons why I love you. Now, write down one reason why I shouldn’t love you.”
When Jack handed over a dozen flowers to his wife, she looked at them in surprise. There was one plastic flower among the others.
“What is this plastic flower doing here?” she asked Jack.
“Why do you think it is there?” Jack replied.
But as much as she thought about it, she couldn’t understand the meaning of the one artificial flower.
Finally, when she had given up, Jack smiled and said, “That flower is my love. I will love you until that flower dies.”
Hearing this, she was overcome with tears and hugged him with all the love she had for him.
