Synopsis

The girl in the flower shop sells flowers for sweethearts and wives, but no one buys flowers for her. She dreams that the man who comes in every day will some day stop to talk to her for a while. But when the pattern changes, the man is buying flowers for another woman. He meets the woman outside the shop and the shop girl sees his gift of flowers rejected by the other woman. He drops the flowers and the shop girl retrieves them because they were bought with love and hope. When the man sees the shop girl picking up his flowers, her sadness causes him to see her in a new light.
