The Practical Wedding Gift | 实用的结婚礼物

点击查看中英对照

We attended the wedding of an acquaintance's son. Since we did not know the young man or his bride, we decided to send a practical household gift: a fire extinguisher.

Apparently, the couple had mass-produced their thank-you notes, as we received a card stating: "Thank you very much for the nice wedding gift. We look forward to using it soon."
