32. Goldfish, Souls and Coffee Table
    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?
