One cold Sunday, Mariko and her dad were walking to the store.“I’m tired of winter,” said Mariko.

Dad waved (挥手) at their neighbor. “I know Mr. Hill hopes spring will come too.”

Mr. Hill was sitting and enjoying the sun in his garden (花园). He waved, and Mariko waved back.

“Mr. Hill loves his garden,” said Mariko. Mr. Hill had the most beautiful spring flower garden. It was full of daffodils (黄水仙).

Dad said, “Yes, he does. And because he is old, it is hard for him to go outside in winter.”

At the store, Mariko helped Dad choose milk, bread and carrots.

“You may choose something for yourself, Mariko,” said Dad.

At first Mariko thought apples would taste good. But then something else caught her eye, “Oh, Dad, look, daffodils!”

“Is that something you want?” asked Dad.

“Yes!” Mariko said happily.

Mariko couldn’t stop looking at her daffodils all the way home. But when she got to Mr. Hill’s house, she stopped, “Maybe I could ...”

“Wait here, Dad, please,” she said. “I’ll be right back.”

Mariko ran to Mr. Hill and gave him the daffodils.

“What a wonderful winter surprise!” said Mr. Hill. “You have brought me spring!”
