One day, while out shopping, she sees some beautiful Easter lilies and craves one for her mother, but is too poor to buy one. Performing a slight service for a strange gentleman, she is rewarded with a dime and hastens to the florist and offers him the money. The lilies are a dollar and a half each, but the florist reading the depth of the desire in the wistful little face, finally gives her a small sickly little flower and the child hurries home with it, delighted. The mother is also delighted with it, but that night the lily dies and Mamie is filled with despair. Then a remarkable thing happens. In dying, the lily droops to one side, and out of it falls a diamond. The mother and child are astounded, and the mother, realizing its value, writes the florist and informs him of their discovery. Then it turns out that the diamond was lost in the florist's shop by a wealthy young lady, whose father offers a large reward for its return. Mamie receives the reward, which enables her mother to procure the necessary medical aid and other comforts, but what pleases Mamie most is the gift of a number of beautiful lilies that will not die.
