[originaltext] For a long time Dr. Jackson had wanted to get a permanent job

For a long time Dr. Jackson had wanted to get a permanent job in a certain big modern hospital, and at last he was successful. He was appointed to the particular position which he wanted, and he and his wife moved to the house which they were now to live in. The next day some beautiful flowers were delivered to them, with a note which said, "Deepest sympathy".
    Naturally, Dr. Jackson was annoyed to receive such an extraordinary note, and telephoned the shop which had sent the flowers to find out what the note meant.
    When the owner of the shop heard what had happened, he apologized to Dr. Jackson for having made the mistake.
    "But what really worries me much more," he added, "is that the flowers which ought to have gone to you were sent to a funeral, with a card which said, ’Congratulations on your new position.’"
