This kind of flower is very expensive and rarely blooms, so he ran to a garden with his brother to find this kind of flower. It happened that the plantain in that garden had a big yellow flower, and Guo Moruo and his brother secretly picked it and gave it to his mother. Although mother knew that Guo Moruo was filial to her, her son's behavior made her sad. From then on, Guo Moruo never stole anything from others.
