One of them said，“Look，how white and beautiful my hands are！” The second lady said，“My hands are more beautiful.” The third one said，“Mine are the most beautiful ones.” An old woman beggar（乞丐） came up to them. “Beautiful ladies，” she said，“Im old and cant work. Im hungry. Would you please give me something to eat？”

But the three ladies gave her nothing. They only asked，“Tell me，old woman，who of us has the most beautiful hands？”

A peasant（农民） woman was also sitting by the river. She was poor and her hands were rough（粗糙的） because of hard work. The old beggar came up to her and said，“Im hungry. Please give me something to eat.” The peasant woman took out the only cake she had and gave her a half.

The old woman ate it and drank some water. Then she took the peasant woman by the hand，brought her before the rich ladies and said，“Now，I shall tell you whose hands are the most beautiful.

Different countries and different people have different manners. We must find out their customs（习俗） so that they will not think us ill-mannered（不礼貌的）. Here are examples of the things that a person with a good education does or does not do.

If you visit a Chinese family，you should knock at the door first. When the door opens，you should not move before the host says “Come in，please”. After you enter the room，you should not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a tea table in front of you or put into your hand，you should say “thank you” and take it with two hands，not with one hand，or they will think you are ill-mannered. Before entering a house in Japan，it is good manners to take off your shoes. In European countries，even though shoes sometimes become very dirty，this is not done. In a Malay house，a visitor never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England，a visitor always finishes a drink or the food to show that he has enjoyed it. This will please the host.

My neighbor next door enjoys listening to music very much and he always makes the radio very noisy even at night. One evening，it was already eleven oclock. My neighbor was still listening to the radio with much noise. I was very angry and couldnt stand it any more. So I knocked at his door and said，“Would you mind turning it down？ Its too noisy，I cant sleep！” He said sorry to me and promised not to make it so loud again.
