He had a very special reason for wanting to impress her with the right gift--tomorrow he was going to give her a big surprise.

That afternoon, Simon had an idea. He took Fritz, his girlfriend’s little dog for a walk. They went to the perfume shop of the town’s biggest department store. There were many different kinds of perfume on display. He asked an assistant to open a large number of bottles and wave the stoppers (瓶塞) under the dog’s nose. The assistant did as he asked. Suddenly, Fritz became very lively and barked excitedly, as the assistant waved one stopper under its nose.

“I’ll take that one,” said Simon to the assistant.“The price is high, but it is worth it,” he thought. “My favorite perfume!” said the delighted girl the next evening when she saw the present. “How did you know?” she asked with a big smile.
