AThe Davies were invited to Christmas drinks at a hotel once. They left their car in the car park outside and went in. Mr. Davies was proud of the fact that he never got drunk, so he was careful not to drink too much, in spite of his host’s attempts to press more and more on him.During the party, Mrs. Davies found she had forgotten to bring a handkerchief, so she asked her husband to go out to the car and get her one. He did so, but on his way back, he heard a car horn sounding in the car park. Thinking someone might be in trouble, he went over to the car from which the noise was coming. He found a small black bear sitting in the driving seat and honking the horn.When Mr. Davies got back to the party, he told people about the black bear, but of course they did not believe him and thought he was drunk. When he took them out to the car park to show them that he was serious, he found the car with the bear in had gone.There were so many jokes about Mr. Davies’s black bear during the following days that he at last put an advertisement in the local paper: "Will anybody who saw a black bear honking a horn in a car outside the Central Hotel at about 7 p.m. on Christmas Day please phone…"Two days later a Mrs. Richards phoned to say she and her husband had left their pet bear in their car outside the Central Hotel for a few minutes that evening and that it was quite possible that he had been honking the horn.

American Indians usually have pretty interesting names. These names are given to them through various methods and usually by an elder. American Indians attach importance to naming their child, and it is almost treated like a ritual. In some American Indian cultures, they even hold a ceremony when they are to name a child. American Indian children are usually named by an elder who could be their grandmother, grandfather, mother or father. The name given by the elder comes to them in many different forms such as characteristics of the person, dreams that the elder may have, or the name of a family member who has died. It is also true that some American Indians are named after some sort of animal while others are named after nature. Some tribes (部落) name their children after events that happen before their birth.Also in different tribes, two of the American Indians in the same tribe can’t share the same name. Once the person with the name has died, then the name may be used again. It is said that American Indians believe that they should not address the baby by the name that they are given because if the name is too well-known, the child or baby may be called back to the spirit world; this is what causes many American Indians to be given nicknames(绰号). Many American Indians are more commonly known by their nicknames instead of their names given at birth.29.
