　　Today it costs a few cents to buy a comb (梳子) for your hair. But 300 years ago, the comb was costly. It was then an important part of a person's wealth (财富). Records show that pirates(海盗)made it a point to take combs of the people on board any ship they robbed.

　　How old are combs? Some combs, made of bone, have been found at the sites(遗址)of early humans. This would place the comb's age at about 9,000 years. Even these combs were made to look pretty. They had shapes of animals carved(雕刻)on them.

　　The best combs of all were the ones that were used in church. Some of these combs were covered with gold. For a long time, it was a custom (习俗) in the Greek (希腊的) Church to comb a priest's (牧师)hair before all the people.

　　The comb is special to the Japanese. The Japanese women are known for the way they put up their thick, long, black hair. They hold their hair in place with combs. Some Japanese people feel that throwing away a comb will bring bad luck. Also, it is bad luck to pick one up. But a comb received as a parting gift is felt to bring good luck. The comb is supposed to make all the paths(道路)straight. This is because it makes one's hair straight.

　　It is not often that we stop to think about the history of things we use all the time. But if we did stop to think for a minute, then we would find that everything has its own history.
