Chocolate and other goods

Before I went to Switzerland for a few days in March, I asked politely around if people wanted something from there.

Everybody said they wanted chocolate. I guess most people in any part of the world would have asked that, but here in Nigeria the request makes even more sense as the good chocolate is very difficult to find, as it melts easily on its way through see and when it arrives, if it arrives, it is too expensive.

But there was one person that didn't ask me for chocolate. The only one. It was one of the mechanics. I was astonished when he naturally asked me to bring him "a flower from Switzerland"!
