NO7 Do you know? – Chinese custom

We Chinese have an old saying. That is, there is a line (線) across your palm (手掌) . The line means how long your life is. Chinese call it “ life line ”, and they believe the longer the line is, the longer a life will be,

Tony was a little school boy about seven years old. He didn’t have a long life line in his hand. In fact, it was quite short. “That means I’ll die young,” Tony thought, "I’ve got to do something if I want to live long.”

It happened one night when Tony was bathing in the bathroom. Tony’s parents was watching TV in the living room. They didn’t notice that it had been an hour since their son came into the bathroom. But it didn’t take long when Tony’s mother saw the blood (血液) coming from the bathroom floor. The parents were surprised and sent Tony to the hospital as fast as they could. Tony stayed in the hospital several days and was getting better.

Now Tony worried no more about his life. He had made his life line longer, as long as he could cut (切) with a knife (刀) that night in the bathroom.
