Chapter 10 Giving gifts · Running to the toilet

Dear Xiaowen: Your birthday gift (birthday gift or present) and Christmas gift (Christmas gift) will be converted into a cash gift of 30 yuan, which will be passed on to you by grandma, and then you can choose what you want to buy, okay?At the same time, you should also give gifts (give gifts) to your sisters, brothers, etc., and naturally they will also give you gifts. This is called "reciprocating gifts". "Li Shang Reciprocation" is Chinese, and it means "Gifts are like fish hooks" in English.It means "to throw a brick and to get a gem in return" (to throw a brick and to get a gem in return) when it is translated into Chinese.The rule in China is that gifts are not opened in person, so if you give a box of bricks to someone, they will not know.But the rules in the United States have to be opened in person. It is probably because someone sent bricks in the past, so people will no longer be fooled. To be on the safe side, just check it out in person. (If it is still a brick, I can settle the score with you immediately!) This is also the comparison of Americans. The "practical" place for the Chinese.If you really don't send bricks, then you should "Genuine gold is not afraid of fire" (Genuine gold is not afraid of fire.), and you are not afraid of being opened in person.So when my sister said May I open it now? (Can I open it now?), you can boldly say Sure, I wish you would. (Of course, I can't wait for you to open it and see).But if you really send bricks, then you are "guilty" (0ne who has done something bad secretly cannot look others in the eye.) You have to rush to the toilet! (If you dont mind, Id like to wash my hands.) After locking the toilet door, you can shout to your sister: Don't look a gift horse in the mouth! (Don't pick other people's gifts!) If your sister is angry Hit the door with a brick and say I wouldn't take it as a gift! (I don’t even want it for free!) Then you should be an “Indian giver”, wrap it up, and give it to your brother!Ha ha!

Male horses can have 40 teeth in the end, and mares have 36 teeth.When you give a horse to others, they can see whether the gift is good or bad from the horse's mouth. Four hundred years ago, the English motto No man ought to look a given horse in the mouth. It means don't be picky about other people's gifts.The Chinese saying "horse teeth increase in vain" means self-ashamed boss.There are two types of ponies: the younger ones are colts, and the smaller ones are pony.
