Did she hate roses? Soros couldn't believe it. He had asked her before.
No, he had asked what flowers girls liked in general. He was courting Elizabeth when his relationship with Anna wasn't as bad as it is now until he knew what she was thinking.
Soros pinched the bridge of his nose and tried to throw the rose in his hand into the trash, only to be yelled at by the sanitation worker next to him, "Young man, if you're going to throw it away, why don't you give it to me?"
He thought momentarily and handed the worker the flowers, then watched as he opened the bouquet and gave it to a passing child.
The children were overjoyed to receive the flowers and expressed their gratitude to him one by one.
Yes, the sanitation worker told the children that this uncle wanted to give them flowers, but he was a little embarrassed.
So Soros was surrounded by these enthusiastic children and was a bit overwhelmed.
