The Chrysanthemums was a short story written by John Steinbeck in 1937. This short story was about a pretty yellow flower. John Steinbeck did a good job in written this story. The main character Elisa is a hard working women who can plant really nice chrysanthemums in her garden and can get them to grow up looking really good.
One day Elisa was working in her garden planting her pretty chrysanthemums, and her husband Henry is out in the fields working. A old man that is in a wagon comes along and tries to get Elisa to buy something, or to get her to let him replace something of hers to make some money. Elisa had nothing for the man to do so he pretended to be interested in her pretty yellow chrysanthemums.

Later that night Elisa and her husband went into town for dinner,and along the side of the road Elisa saw the flowers that she had given to the man. She never saw that man again and thought that it was kind of strange ow he just showed up out of nowhere and then just disappeared again never to be seen.

In the long run you should never trust someone that you don\'t know. Make sure that you always know the person that you are talking to so you don\'t get into trouble.
How much of what the wagon man...
