Gen Zer demands cousin translate a poem to secure date, only for cousin to deliberately mistranslate and sabotage his chances

The English language appears to have extended over the globe in our modern era. Because of globalization and America's immense cultural influence, it's nearly a given that you know a few terms in English, no matter where you are in the world.

The story below is an account of a petty cousin. Since he was a little boy, the original poster (OP) has spoken English fluently. Therefore, OP furiously rejected his cousin's sudden request to teach him English so he might woo a girl by reading her a poem. He was astonished at the idea of picking up a whole new language only in hopes of securing a date. Even though he initially declined, the cousin persisted. In an attempt to teach his cousin a lesson, OP 'translated' the poetry word for word without taking into account grammar, and he then sent his cousin off to 'woo' his girl.

That being said, be sure to read the story below if you're interested in learning more about what happened after the cousin blurted out the so-called 'romantic poem'! Additionally, when you're done, don't forget to read the story of the worker who was promoted after it was found that his manager was living in his truck because of work-related expenses!
