In many western countries, people think 13 is an unlucky number, so they do not like the number 13. For example, they don't like to live on the thirteenth floor. People don't like to do important things on the thirteenth of the month.
One American, called Daniel, doesn't like the number 13, either.
One day, he invited some friends to dinner. When all of his friends arrived, he asked them to sit around the table. He began to count the people in his mind when they were having the delicious food. Suddenly he cried out, “Oh, God, there are thirteen people here!” Everybody's face turned white except Mrs. White. She said slowly with a smile on her face, "Don't worry! We have fourteen people here. I am pregnant now."
All of them became happy again. “Congratulations!” they said to Mrs. White. They enjoyed the nice food and had a good time at that night.
