2 Why Was She Angry?

A young man was in love with a beautiful girl. One day she said to him, “It is my birthday tomorrow.” “Oh,” said the young man, “I’ll send you roses, one rose for each year of your life.”

The same evening he went to a florist’s. As he knew that the girl was twenty-two years old, he paid for twenty-two roses and asked the florist to send them to the girl the next day.

The florist knew the young man very well as he had often bought flowers in his shop before. When the young man left the shop, the florist thought, “This young man is a very good customer. I think that my price was too high. I’ll send ten more roses to his girl.”

He did so. The next morning thirty-two roses were sent to the girl. When the young man came to see her, she didn’t want to speak to him. And he never knew why she was so angry with him.

Решение 2.

Почему она разозлилась?

Ответ:

The girl was angry because she received 32 roses. The young man had promised her one rose for each year of her life. Since she was 22, receiving 32 roses made her think that he believed she was 32 years old, which is 10 years older than her actual age.

Девушка разозлилась, потому что получила 32 розы. Молодой человек обещал ей по одной розе за каждый год ее жизни. Поскольку ей было 22 года, получение 32 роз заставило ее подумать, что он считает ее 32-летней, то есть на 10 лет старше ее настоящего возраста.
