A young man met a beautiful girl at a party. He liked her. He heard that the next day was the girl’s twenty-first birthday. The young man ran to a flower shop. He bought twenty-one beautiful roses and asked the shop-assistant to send them to the girl’s house the next morning. And he wrote a note: “Happy Birthday! I am sending you red roses – one for each year of the life”. The shop-assistant knew the young man well and he liked him. He knew that the young man was a poor student. The shop-assistant thought: “It’s clear the flowers are for the girl he is going to marry. He’d like to send more roses, but he hasn’t enough money. I’ll help him.” And he added nine more roses and put thirty roses instead of twenty-one into a nice box together with the young man’s note.
When the young man went to the girl’s house the next day, she opened the door herself. Imagine his surprise when, before he could open his mouth she said: “I never want to see you or speak to you again!” And she closed the door in his face.
