　　Different countries have different customs(习俗) in giving presents.

　　IN CHINA you must never give a clock to a Chinese person, because the sound of the word “clock” is similar to the sound for “death” in Chinese. Also, don't wrap(包裹) a present in white, black, or blue paper, because these are the colours for funerals(葬礼). Don't give a knife as a present, because something sharp might harm your friendship.

　　IN RUSSIA if we give flowers as a present, we have to give an odd number of them(one, three, five…) because even numbers of flowers(two, four, six…) are for funerals.

　　IN GERMANY flowers are a good present to be taken to your dinner hostess, but don't give her red roses because it means you are in love with her. Don't give anything that has the number of thirteen because such a number is an unlucky number. Don't give anything that has an even number, either. Don't wrap your present in white, brown, or black paper.
