Why was she angry?
A young man was in love with a beautiful girl. One day she said to
him: “It’s 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.

Robin Hood
The story of Robin
Hood, the most popular English folk hero of all times, has reached every corner
of the Earth. There are many versions of this well-known tale which is about
600 years old. Everybody knows Robin’s friends (Little John, Brother Tuck, Will
Scarlet), and the famous Sherwood Forest — Robin Hood’s home and the place
where many of his adventures took place. In other countries there are similar
stories, such as William Tell in Switzerland, El Cid in Spain or Janosik in
Poland, but only Robin Hood has become an ‘international’ hero.
Unfortunately, there is almost no
evidence that Robin Hood really existed. Thirteenth-century ballads,
fourteenth-century chronicles, a sixteenth-century History of Great Britain,
all talk about Robin Hood. However, none of them tells us about the sources
they used. In the 1800s and 1900s, historians found two Robin Hoods who lived
in the fourteenth century. One of them was even King Edward II’s servant. Later
on, other historians found several different Hoods living in different parts of
England – Robin was a popular Christian name and Hood was a fairly common
surname. It seems that by 1337, the story of Robin Hood was well established.
Most probably, he lived around the year 1200.
Today, the legend of Robin Hood has
turned Nottinghamshire into a large tourist attraction. In the centre of
Nottingham there is Nottingham Castle. Parts of it still recall the time of
Robin Hood. Sherwood forest has an excellent visitor’s centre with an
attractive display and shop, and some very pleasant walks in the nearby forest.
Edwinstowe church, in which, according to tradition, Robin Hood and Lady Marion
were married, is one of the visitors’ favourite sites.
