In some foreign countries, some people don't like the number 13．They don't think 13 is a lucky number．For example, they don't like to live on the thirteenth floor．

My friend Jack has got the same idea．He doesn’t like the number 13, either．

One day, my friend Jack asked some friends to dinner． Mr. and Mrs. came here, too． When all of his friends arrived, he asked them to sit around the dinner table．He began to count the people in his mind while they were having the delicious food．Suddenly, he cried out, “Oh, there are thirteen people here!” Everyone's face turned white except Mr. Brown．He said slowly with a smile on his face, “Don't worry, my dear friends．We have fourteen people here．My wife Mrs. Brown will have a baby in a few months．She's in the family way now．” 

All of them became happy again．

“Congratulations!” they said to Mr. and Mrs. Brown．They enjoyed the nice food and had a good time that evening．
