Henry was a carpenter(木匠)of our village. Once I asked him to make a dining table for my wife. He made it just the right size to fill the space between the two windows. When I arrived home that evening, Henry was drinking a cup of tea and writing out his bill for his work.。
My wife said to me，quietly，“That，s his ninth cup of tea today.”But she said loudly, "It's a beautiful table，dear，isn't it?"
"I won't decide about that until I see that bill.” I said.
Henry laughed and gave me his bill for the work. It said：
BILL One dining table June 10，1995 Cost of wood 17.00 Paint（油漆） 1.50 Work，8 hours（1 an hour） 8.00 Total（总计） 36.50 |
When I was looking at the bill，Henry said，"it’s been a fine day，hasn’t it? Quite sunny.”
"Yes,”I said. "I’m glad it is only the 10th of June.”
"Me too，”， said Henry. "You wait一it'll be a bit hotter by the end of the month.”
"Yes. Hotter一and more expensive. Dining tables will be 20 more expensive on June 30th，won't they，Henry?”
Henry looked hard at me for half a minute. There was a little smile in his two blue eyes. I gave his bill back to him.
"If it isn't too much trouble，Henry,”I said，"Please add it up again. You can forget the date.”
I paid him 26. 50 and he was happy to get it.

From the time we were babies we have been taught manners. We are taught how to hold a knife and fork and not to talk with our mouths full. We are taught how to shake hands and when to stand and when to sit and the way to introduce people.
Sometimes good manners in one place are very bad manners somewhere else. Almost everywhere eating together means that people are very friendly to each other. But in parts of Polynesia(波利尼西亚)it is bad manners to be seen eating beside each other. So they politely turn their backs to each other when they are taking food.
Some East Africans spit four times as a kind of blessing(祝福).They do it to show that
they want a sick person to get well，or to bless a new-born baby. In most other places，spitting means something completely different. It usually shows an unhealthy habit. In many
countries，it may mean that you hate someone.
When we go to visit someone we say“Hello!”Or“How are you?" or things like that.
But if you are visiting an East African village，everyone will be very careful not to pay attention to you, The polite thing there will be for you to go quietly，without speaking to anyone, and sit beside your friend. You should wait until he has finished what he is doing and then he will begin talking to you.
In a village in Arab，a visitor will walk behind all the tents until he gets to the one he wants to visit. If he passes in front，he will be invited into each tent and asked to eat. It is rude to refuse.

I was sleeping soundly last night when I was awakened by someone's groans(呻吟).I listened，and heard it was from Sam，a student from Africa. I really wanted to go on sleeping, as I had insomnia(失眠)and had just fallen asleep, but I couldn't because Sam groaned louder and louder，showing he was seriously ill.
