Students from the middle school at Rönneshytta school had on Tuesday dressed in the small plastic bags with a large selection of flowers in them. Few slipped by without at least being asked if a Mayflower would fit.
"You should have a good attitude, be nice to people, and if they say no, don't give up," says Eddie Hermansson, who is in fourth grade.
By 14 p.m. in the afternoon, he had already sold May flowers for SEK 400.
