The operator asked in a rather confused and astonished voice, "Wait, what you're saying is, you went to someone else’s yard and harvested their daffodils, am I right?”
"Yes!" Lady Wilson blurted loudly, "He planted daffodils on his fences, and I thought they were chives, so I cut a few handfuls and ate it, but then got poisoned. Tell me, he committed a crime, didn't he?"
The operator sighed and explained, "I'm sorry, Ma'am, our law does not prohibit any citizen from planting daffodils in their yard, so it is absolutely fine for him t o do so. The point is, why did you go to someone else’s yard and take their daffodils simply because you assumed they were chives? You could be arrested for trespassing and stealing.”
"What the hell?!” Lady Wilson shouted into the phone, agitated and furious, "I am lying in the hospital right now because of food poisoning, and yet I'm the one being charged?!"
The operator asked sternly, "If someone comes to your house, steals your car, and then dies in a car accident, can he sue you for owning a problematic car?”
"I..." Lady Wilson was befuddled.
She suddenly realized that Charlie was not breaking any laws for planting daffodils at home, but the
problem was she was the one who stole the daffodils i n his yard. 8
Then, she realized that it was all part of Charlie's plan. He had deliberately planted daffodils that looked like chives in his yard as a trap to lure her to harvest those plants. That way, he didn’t have to bear any responsibility if anything happened to them!
Wrath of fury burst in Lady Wilson’s heart as she summarized the whole incident!
They had literally fallen into his trap without realizing it!
Moreover, as a consequence, they had gone to the hospital for food poisoning. They could only bear the suffering themselves, yet couldn't do anything about him! i
That kid was such a b*stard! 7
