2、untries, it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very muddy, this is not done. A guest in a Chinese house sometimes does not finish a drink. He leaves a little, to show that he has had enough. In a Malay house, too, a guest always leaves a
3、 little food. In England, a guest always finishes a drink to show that he enjoys it. We should like to find out the customs of other races, so that they will not think us ill-mannered.

13、, I realize I was taking a fearful risk. The next ten years were very hard, and I earned an average of 100 a year. Then I had a bit of luck.

23、ording to an Arabic legend, coffee was discovered by a goatherd named Kaldi. He noticed that his goats were attracted to the red berries on a coffee bush.
