Last week John visitedEngland. He stayed with my grandmother. He said it was a strange visit. "I don't understand,but I frightened (使害怕) your grandmother a lot.
When I arrived,I gave her a purse fromChina. She looked in it and asked me to take it back. Then I saw a red spider on the table so I killed it for her and she seemed very unhappy. Do English people like spiders?"
"Later we went shopping. Someone was painting a shop front,so there was a ladder. Grandmother stopped me from walking under it and said I must walk around it. I liked the shops and bought a smart umbrella for my father and some new shoes for myself. When we got back,I put the shoes on the table and opened the umbrella to see if it was all right. Your grandmother came in and cried out ！"
"Then I broke a small mirror in the bathroom. Your grandmother's face went white. I felt very sorry. When I left I gave your grandmother some flowers. She counted and there were 13. She didn't like it. I think she was happy I was going."
I explained to John, "My grandmother follows the old customs (习俗) .You must not give someone an empty purse or they will have no money. You must not kill a 'money spider' or the same will happen. Also it is very unlucky to walk under a ladder and to put new shoes on the table. An open umbrella in a house means someone will die. Breaking a mirror brings seven years' bad luck,and 13 is also a very unlucky number. You were really making my grandmother very afraid."
