15、ded were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.

29、ill say “Dziekuje” (“thank you”) only after receiving their change.

30、siting Poland will feel that things are very expensive, until they learn that they are giving the store clerk permission to keep the money that would have been given back.Polish people break “bread” with their families during their Christmas Eve meal.

Then, these family members break their pieces int

32、o smaller sizes and pass them out to their own children. Once the last piece is passed down to the youngest, we say a prayer (做祈求) and eat the piece of thin bread. Polish people celebrate “Imieniny”， or Names Day. This day is more important than ones birthday. They often name their children after a

33、saint (圣徒) whose day is closest to the date that they were born on. Then their saints day that they were named after becomes their “new” birthday.
