#Person1#: Whew! I had to wait for almost an hour to get to the front of the line. 
#Person2#: You have much patience. 
#Person1#: Wow! Your calligraphy is very beautiful. It was worth the wait! 
#Person2#: Thank you. Today I'm writing a kind of poem called a Chinese couplet. 
#Person1#: What does it say? 
#Person2#: This is an especially famous one. It says 'May the passing days bring you health and longevity. May this season of renewal find you basked in riches.' 
#Person1#: That's very nice. Is it for sale? 
#Person2#: No. I never sell my artwork. 
#Person1#: Really? Then what do you do with it? 
#Person2#: I give it away. Here, this one is for you. 
#Person1#: Wow! Really? Are you sure? Now I'll have a lucky year! 
#Person2#: Remember, real luck must be created (by) yourself, and then it cannot be given or taken away. . . 
#Person1# waited for a long time to see #Person2#'s beautiful calligraphy. #Person2# today is writing a Chinese couplet and gives it away to #Person1#. #Person1#'s thrilled.
