Do you believe that breaking a mirror will bring seven yearsof bad luck? Americans do. They also believe that if a man singbefore 7:00 a.m., he will cry at eleven, which means the morning istoo early to be happy. What’s more, don’t put shoes on the table, orit would bring very bad luck, even death, to the family.
         As for sending gifts, in America, if someone gives you a knifeas a gift, you have to pay one dollar to buy it, or the gift will bringyou bad luck. And if someone gives you a beautiful box ofhand-made cookies, don’t give back the box with nothing inside.That is also believed to be unlucky and will bring hunger to thefamily.
         It’s funny that Americans will say “break a leg” to wishsomeone good luck if he or she is going to perform in public. It isinteresting, isn’t it?
