A Joke
Yesterday I went to a supermarket with my husband . As soon as we walked into the supermarket , I saw a lot of yellow chrysanthemum planted in small pot. They were for sales. I laughed. And then ,My husband asked me why . I told him a story about yellow chrysanthemum.
When I graduated from my middle school, I had to separate from my best friend. Because we entered different high school . I missed her very much. One day after school, I was riding back home . It’ s fall . There were many yellow chrysanthemums sold in the street. The flower was small but beautiful with pleasant smell. I couldn’t help stopping . I bought two branches .How beautiful to put them in a vase! Why not send one branch of the flower to my best friend? I asked myself suddenly. So I decided to visit her . When I knocked her door, there was nobody at home. I had no time to wait. So I put the flower in front of her house . In order to give her a big surprise I didn’t leave any message.
When I was back home happily , my mother asked me loudly :”Why do you take the flowers to home ? How did you get them ?” I told her I bought them . “They are so beautiful” ,I said. “But my poor silly girl .Don’t you know it’s improper to put yellow chrysanthemum at home? It’s usually used at the funeral in China!”

Hi Rainy. Well done. You mostly just had some issues with plurals. If you can, don't leave a space between a word and a punctuation mark suck as the full stop at the end of the sentence.
