  A tourist comes out of the airport. There are a lot of taxis, but the tourist asks every taxi-driver his name. He takes the third taxi. It costs $5 from the airport to the hotel. “How much does it cost for the whole day?” the tourist asks.“$100,” says the taxi-driver. This is very expensive, but the tourist accepts the price.

  The taxi-driver takes the tourist everywhere. He shows him all the monuments and all the museums. In the evening they get back to the hotel. The tourist gives the taxi-driver $100 and says, “What about tomorrow?” The taxi-driver says, “Oh, OK. If that's the price, that is the price. See you tomorrow.” The taxi-driver is very pleased.

  When I was a foreign teacher in China, every day I taught English to my students and they taught me about China.One day the topic mined to saying“I love you”.I was shocked to learn that not one of my students had said this to their mothers, nor had their mothers said it to them.“Does your mom love you?”“Of course,”they answered.

  “How do you know?”was my logical question.They responded that their moms cooked and Always told them what they were doing wrong to show their earning.I was strummed.So mom's cooking and criticizing read our as“I love you”.“Then how do you say I love you to her?”They agreed that getting good grades, followed by good jobs would be how they showed their love.

  I come from a culture where most people are expressive enough, so I repeated these queries in clauses over time.Gradually, I began to get different responses.Some of them had exchanged those sentiments with their moms.

  One of my favorite stories of change came from a girl.When she came home from university, her mother met her at the door and hugged(拥抱)her.This had never happened before, but her mom said,“Now that you have gone I have more time to myself.I noticed that in some places mothers and children hug each other and I decided it was a good idea and that I would begin hugging you.”

  In my family we all say“I love you”a lot.While it is true that we often say the words without having great depth of feelings at that moment, it is almost like a blessing we give each other.Those three little words carry a world of meaning, even when said as a greeting, but most especially if they are the lax words we say to or hear from those we love.
