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?
