Some customers often come to visit our garden centre, as a Chinese saying goes:

　　"First time as strangers, second time knew each other, third time become friends." So these customers became my friends, some became good friends.

　　One time, there was a couple came to buy fish from me, the gentleman is a good fish keeper with much knowledge about fish, we talked about fish behaviour, colour, size, feeding and so on.

　　When I picked out the fish which were chosen by him from the pond and put them in a plastic bag, I always liked to show them to the customers. So when I showed the gold fish to them, the gentleman said.

　　"Nice!"

　　"Show your wife." I said.

　　"She is not my wife, she is my Mum."

　　"Ai… you have came here many times and I thought she is your wife, you are a couple." I looked at him and the lady astonishingly.

　　"Shut up!" The lady said to the gentleman

　　The gentleman laughter.

　　"Oh… I see! He made a joke."

　　This gentleman was so humorous. One other time, he bought some indoor fish from another member of our staff.

　　"How many male fish and female1 fish should be ok to put together?" He asked.

　　"Normally2, one male with two females3 are OK." The staff answered.

　　"Is it the same rule for humans? I hope so." He asked and answered by himself. I know he made a joke again.

　　That time his wife wasn’t with him, otherwise he would maybe get a beating or kicking from his angry wife!
