Proving that our customs are as strange to others as theirs are to us:
Wong, a Chinese servant, asked his master for permission to attend the funeral of another Chinese.
'All right,' said the master, 'I suppose you'll put some food on the grave as the Chinese usually do.'
'Yes, sir,' Wong answered.
'Look here, Wong, when do you think your friend will eat that food?'
'As soon, sir, as the friend you buried last week will smell the flowers you put on his grave,' was the answer.
