    Last week Lu visited England. 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 from

Suzhou, 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 some lovely

rose soap for my mother, 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 check if it was all right. Your grandmother

came in and screamed (尖叫)!" 

    "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 l 3. She didn't like it. I

think she was happy l was goin9."

    I explained to Lu, "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."
