It was just after sunrise on an August morning. Ivan, a florist, who was busy in his flower shop 1 flowers for three young girls. They are the 2 of the “Leaving Smiles in UK”, a 3 of leaving bunches of blooms in public places for 4 to find. Ivan is donating 50 bunches of flowers each week to volunteers through social media, who then leave them in 5 places with a card saying “Please 6 me”.

A few people came to look at the bouquet (花束) before some children 17 figured it out and got up the 18 to take the flowers to Mom. Perhaps this isn't the first program to encourage 19 towards strangers, but in these socially distant times, it's bringing people just that little bit 20 .
