32. Goldfish, Souls and Coffee Table p.208

    Ms. Smith, an American, is talking to Mr. Ting, an expert on feng shui.

    S： What changes would you suggest for my house？

    T： I think that you should get an aquarium with goldfish.

    S： Why？

    T： Goldfish bring good luck.

    S： Ok. Anything else？

    T： You should also get rid of that mirror in front of your bed.

    S： Why？

    T： Your soul travels at night. It must find its way back to the body. The soul might see your body in the

    mirror and get confused.

    S： Hmm…really？ What else？

    T： Um… （He bumps into a coffee table.） ouch！ And get rid of this table.

    S： Why？ It's just a coffee table.

    T： It's dangerous. It will bring you bad luck.

    S： Uh… are you sure？
