thirteen. People don't like to have parties with thirteen people. People don't like to do important things
on the thirteenth of the month. Also, when you add the Japanese unlucky numbers together-nine and
four-they make thirteen.
One English teacher told his students a story about "thirteen". The classroom was number thirteen.
At the end of the lesson one of the students changed the number of the room to 12A. In the afternoon,
another teacher wanted to find Room 13. He didn't know about the changed numbers. He walked around
the school for half an hour. At last, someone told him about the changed number-that Room 12A was
Room 13.
There aren't many business meetings on the thirteenth of the month especially when the thirteenth is

Friday.
