My tutor told me this story, some of you might have already heard of it but some of you might have not. Let me share it with you.
Once a tourist went to shopping and came upon a shop which sells branded t-shirts, and most importantly they were all very cheap. So the tourist was very attracted to it and took a look at them...he found that the quality was not bad and the label also said 'Guarantee no shrink'. So he trusted it and bought a few more to bring back to his country as gifts. The next few days the tourist wore some of the t-shirts and eventually wash them. When he got them out form the washing machine he was surprise. The t-shirt had shrunk.
So the furious tourist took the t-shirt and went back to the store.He wanted a refund. The store owner look at him and ask what was wrong. The tourist said that he trusted him so he bought the t-shirt but now the t-shirt had shrunk.
The store owner look at him and ask:"You not from here a?"
Tourist:"No, I'm Australian."
store owner:"Ooo...no wonder...you miss understood la...in Chinese we read from right to left not left to right. The label reads 'Shrink no guarantee' la."
