CA3.The Number Thirteen
Many people believe that the number 13 is not a luck number.This is why many hotels do not have 13th floor.The floors go from 12 to 14,and there is no number 13.Some people will never sit at a table with twelve other people.They will tell someone to go or ask another person to sit with them at their table.
No one really knows why people in so many countries do not like the number 13.Perhaps one reason is that when people began to count they used ten fingers and two hands.This made 12.They could not count higher than this.
Some Christians say that 13 is not lucky because there were 13 people at a meal the day before Jesus was killed.One of the men who came to the last supper was a betray.In a story about the old Greek gods,12 gods were asked to a meal but one more came,who was at the meal,was killed.
