One day, some tourists came to a hotel but there were only two rooms left. One was on the fourth floor and the other was on the seventh floor.
"We Chinese like the number 8. 8 means we will get rich. We also like 9 because it means we can live long. But we don't like the number 4 because it sounds like ‘death' in Chinese. I think if we sleep on the fourth floor, we may die."
The Greeks said, "We want the room on the fourth floor. In Greece, 4 is a lucky number."
The South Korean said, "We don't like number 4 or 13. 4 sounds like ‘death' and 13 is an unlucky number in the west."

"In Japan, 4 sounds like ‘death', so we don't like it. And 6 is also not welcome. There isn't the fourth floor or the sixth floor in the tall buildings in our country. However, we like 7 very much", said the Japanese.
At last, only the Greeks lived on the 4th floor, and the rest slept on the 7th floor.
