Gift giving is different from culture to culture and person to person.

When giving gifts, sometimes color is important. For example, for many Chinese people around the world, red is a lucky color, and people often like to pack gifts in this color. However, did you know that in Korea, red is a color of death? That is why you should not pack gifts in this color if you are giving a gift to a Korean person.

What about western countries? In western countries ,the color of packing paper is not really important. But color does matter when giving flowers, especially roses. You should not give red roses to a western person you don’t know very well because they are a symbol of love. You could give yellow roses instead as these are a symbol of friendship. You could also send pink roses as gifts to say thank you.

What other things should you remember when giving gifts to someone from a different culture? Well, one thing you should keep in mind is the person’s religion. When choosing a gift for a Muslim or Jewish friend, you should never get good food including pork or things made from pigskin. Another thing that you shouldn’t get for a Muslim person is alcohol.

Seed（種子）of Kindness

Jim， a successful businessman， told the experience of his childhood.

When he was 12， his parents died. He was alone and didn’t get on well with others. People always laughed at him. No one showed kindness to him.

His only friend was a dog named Tige. He gave his dog enough to eat and drink， but sometimes he was not polite to it. He didn’t know that an unkind work sometimes could cut one’s heart like a knife.

One day as he walked down the street， a young lady was walking in front of him. Suddenly one of her bags dropped from her arms. As she stopped to pick it up， she dropped other bags. He came to help her. “Thank you， dear! You are a nice little boy!” she said kindly， smiling.

A special feeling came to him. These were the first kind words he had ever heard. He watched her until she went far away， and then he whistled （吹口哨）to his dog happily and went directly to the river nearby.

“Thank you， dear! You are a nice little boy!” he repeated the woman’s words. Then in a low voice he said to his dog， “You are a nice little dog!” Tige raised its ears as if it understood.

“Uhum! Even a dog likes it!” he said， “Well， Tige， I won’t say unkind words to you anymore.” Tige waved its tail happily.

The boy thought and thought. Finally he looked at himself in the river. He saw nothing but a dirty boy. He washed his face carefully. Again he looked. He saw a clean nice boy. He was amazed. From then on， he had a new life.

After telling this， the businessman stopped for a while， and then he said， “Ladies and gentlemen， this is the very place where that kind woman planted in me the first seed of kindness. All of us should learn about kindness. What a great power it has!”
