Buying Flowers
Far away, in a land where flowers bloomed all year, Narae had a little shop, where she sold the beautiful flowers she grew in a field on the edge of the village...
She made the most beautiful arrangements for the local nobility, as well as the common folk...
She was just putting the final touches on a beautiful new arrangement....
...when an unusual visitor arrived...
"Can I help you?"
"I'd like to buy some flowers..."
"Well, you've come to the right place.."
Choosing Flowers
"Are you looking for anything specific?"
"Well, I'm here on behalf of a very important client. It's his wife's birthday tomorrow, and she loves flowers, but up in the northern lands we are barely out of winter and there's nothing blooming yet. So he asked if it was possible for me to fly down here and get some as a surprise for her."
"Do you know what she likes?"
"Her favourites are pink and red, especially roses. And she also loves purple and blue flowers."
"Well, I have plenty of all of those..."
"My client has many skills, but I doubt flower arranging is one of them, so I think I should take some of your beautiful, professional arrangements. Like this one..."
"That's one of my most expensive arrangements."
"That's fine. Price is no object. I'll take these as well..."
"...and both of those..."
"That should do for my first trip...."
All Wrapped Up
Narae was busy wrapping up all the flower arrangements....
"Thanks for doing that. At the speed and altitude I'll have to fly, there wouldn't be much left of them if they weren't protected..."
"No problem. It's always a good idea to wrap any flowers."
"I think that's almost all of them..."
"Here's the last one..."
"Thank so much. I'm sure my client will be very happy with these."
Winston picked them all up....
"Are you sure you can carry that many?"
"Sure. This is fine. Thanks so much. I'll be back later this evening for the rest...."
