What Made Her So Angry

A young man was engaged to a beautiful young girl, twenty-five years old. The day before her birthday he said to her, “Tomorrow I’ll send you roses, one for each year of your life.” That evening he telephoned a flower shop and asked the shopman to send twenty-five finest roses to the young girl the next morning.

The shopman 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, I have just got an order from young Mr. Hill for twenty-five of our best roses. He is a very good customer, you know. So, put in an extra 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.
