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." The tourists from the west said, "Oh, we love number 7. There are seven days in the world as it says in the Bible(圣经).We don't like the number 13. It is an unlucky number. If we sleep on the 13th floor, oh…"
"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.
