It was last June. I entered a supermarket to pick some vegetables, when a young man asked me “Can you tell me where the milk counter(柜台) is?”
“Well, the milk is in the lower right corner,” I replied.
Picking up my things, I finally came to the milk counter where I met the same man holding almost 10 bottles of milk.
I asked, “Do you need a basket or a trolley?”
“Sure, thank you.” he answered.
I was surprised he was still picking more bottles and after a few minutes his trolley had 24 bottles of milk.
I laughed and asked, “Why so many bottles?”
He smiled and said, “These are for my street dogs. Today, I want to be a Santa for them.”
I said, “Well, it’s too early for you to be a Santa. It is still June and Christmas comes in December.”
He turned to me and walked a few steps, as if he wanted to say something but he left the counter without saying anything.
Later, we met again at the bread counter.
“So these bread and cakes are also for the street dogs, Mr Santa.”
He smiled and said, “Yes. These are also for the dogs and I love to be Mr Santa in the month of June. Santa is a representation(象征) of surprise and love. Santa comes in December as we expect him around Christmas. But in real life there is a Santa in each one of us that shines through our personality at some point of time, no matter which month it is. Maybe when you offered help to me by getting me a trolley, there was a hidden Santa in you. When we offer food to a poor man or an umbrella to someone who is caught in the rain, we are being Santa there. So when you offer help to others or get help from others, just think that Santa has come all the way for you.”
He left and I was happy that I had met him. It was right to understand that Santa can come before Christmas. We just need to realize that he is around us by spreading happiness and unconditional love.

Table manners are how to behave when you eat a meal. To behave well abroad, you should know some table manners.
EATING MANNERS
Japan: It is “perfectly” okay to slurp when you eat noodles. Unlike making big noises, slurping slightly is not rude. Japanese also say it tastes better if you make noises.
Russia: Your wrists(手腕) should be placed on the edge(边缘) of the table while eating, fork in left hand, and knife in the right. Keep your elbows off the table. Leave some food on your plate to show that the host has given you enough to eat.
France: Never discuss money or religion(宗教) over dinner. What is different from the manners in Russia is that they think finishing everything on your plate is good manners.
Mexico: Whenever you catch the eye of someone who’s eating, even a stranger, it’s good manners to say “provecho”, which means enjoying. In Mexico, dining is more than a meal. Lunches are seldom quick and suppers can last for hours.
DRINKING MANNERS
America: If you empty a bottle into someone’s glass, it obliges(强制) that person to buy the next bottle. It’s polite to put the last drops into your own glass.
Australia: In a pub it’s usual to buy a round of drinks for everyone in your group. When it’s your turn, say “It’s my round”. When it’s their round, they will buy it for you. Don’t leave before you’ve bought a round.
Japan: Don’t fill your own glass of wine. Instead, you should pour for others and wait for them to do it for you.

In English, people use many expressions with the word "dog". People in the West love their dogs and treat them well. Dogs without owners to care for them lead a very different kind of life. The expression "to lead a dog's life" means living an unhappy life.
Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. That means many people are competing the same things, like good jobs. They say if a person wants to be successful he has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, this situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.
Sometimes we should let a sleeping dog lie, which means we'd better not trouble a person who is likely to cause problems. And if someone says you are a lucky dog, he is just saying you're very lucky.
Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say that you can never teach an old dog new tricks(手艺). They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will change the way they do things.
Dog expressions are also used to describe the weather. The dog days of summer are the hottest of the year. A rain in summer may cool the weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. In other words, we do not want it to rain cats and dogs.
| In English, people use many expressions with the word "dog", different dog expressions have different meanings. | ||
| Topics | 71 | Meanings |
| Life | to lead a dog's life | This means living an 72 life. |
