4. Read the text and retell it using the indirect speech. 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 shall 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 said to the owner of the shop:“I shall buy twenty two roses, but I shall not take them with me. Send them to this address tomorrow, please.” And he gave the girl’s address to the florist.

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.”

He did so. The next morning thirty two roses were sent to the girl. When the young man came to see her she said:”I don’t want to speak to you.” And he never knew why she was so angry with him.
