A young man was engaged (былпомолвлен) to a beautiful girl, twenty-four years old. The day before her birthday he said to her:
-Tomorrow I will send you roses, one for each year of your life.
That evening he phoned a flower shop and asked the shop-man to send twenty four finest roses to the young girl the next morning.
The shop-man thanked the young man for his order and
promised to do everything he could in the
best way. Then he turned to his assistant and said:
— John, a minute ago I got an order from young Mr. Hill for twenty-four of our best roses. He's a very good customer (покупатель), you know. So put in an extra (дополнительно) ten roses.
When Mr. Hill met his girl on the following day, she was so angry with him, that the engagement was very nearly broken off.
