一天早晨，一位顾客走进我的花店，要给他的妻子买一束花。他告诉我们：“不需要放祝贺卡，她会知道是谁送的。''

去送花的车还没回店。电话铃响了。是刚才那位顾客的妻子，她问道：“是谁送我鲜花的？”

当我给她解释了买花的人要求不要放祝贺卡后，我以为这件事就算过去了。可并不是这样。一会儿后她急急忙忙地来到了店里。她追究地问：“在我丈夫中午回家吃饭之前，你们必须告诉我是谁送的花！"

======================

One morning a customer entered my flower shop and ordered a bouquet for his wife. "No card is necessary," he instructed us, "She'll know who sent them."

The delivery truck hadn't even returned to the store when the phone rang. It was the customer's wife. "Who sent the flowers?" she asked.

After explaining that the customer had requested that no card be included. I considered the matter closed. But not so. A bit later, she came rushing in the front door. "You've got to tell me who sent the flowers," she demanded, "before my husband gets home for lunch!"
