ed to be away. Dane's brother John offered to go instead though he did not know anything about sailing. Mark agreed and they set out to sea. Soon they found themselves in a thick fog. Mark was sure they would be hit by a big ship. Fortunately he saw a large buoy (浮标 )through the fog and decided to tie the boat to it for safety.

In America Mother's Day is celebrated on the second Sunday in May. On that day we send our mothers a special Mother's Day card and perhaps some flowers or candy to show our love and appreciation for all they have done for us. Although Mother's Day is a relatively new holiday in America more and more other countries are also setting aside a day to honor their mothers.

I want to tell you today how the idea of having a special day for mothers began.

It all started over a hundred years ago with a woman named Anna May Jarvis.

Anna was born on May 1 1864 just before the end of the Civil War and the assassination of President Lincoln. She was the daughter of a“minister” which in American English means a church leader. She was a quiet girl who liked to study in school but she liked everyone and was liked by everyone as well.

After she became an adult Anna worked for life insurance company in Philadelphia Pennsylvania--a city about halfway between New York City and Washington D.C. Then in 1906 just two weeks after Anna's 42nd birthday her mother died. It was the second Sunday in May.

In the months that followed Anna began to change. No longer was she so gentle so relaxed and easy-going. Instead she now had just one goal for her life--to have her mother and all other honored throughout the whole world on the second Sunday of May.

After more than a year of careful planning Anna arranged the first Mother's Daychurch service on May10 1908 in Crafton West Virginia. The next year Anna was able to get the city of Philadelphia where she lived and worked to proclaim the second Sunday of May as an official Mother's Day -- the first city to do so. After three more years the state of West Virginia where Anna's mother had lived made Mother's Day a statewide observance--for a holiday in the normal sense but still a day to remember what mothers have done for their children and society.
