Translation

Mr. Tse and his wife are both from Zhongshan.1  They have opened a bookstore in Hong Kong. The store is very large, and business each year is not bad. Both like to travel very much. They have been to Shanghai and Beijing, as well as the United States, England, France, Japan, and other places. If people ask,  "What do you like doing most", they always respond, "Travel".

Mr. Tse has four sons and one daughter. The eldest son is Mei Sang. He is 16 years old. The second oldest is Ying Sang and is fourteen. The third oldest is Fat Sang, who is 12. His fourth son is Loey Sang. He is ten years of age. Hong Sang is his only daughter. She is eight. As she is the youngest, eveyone in the family is very fond of her.

One day after eating Mr. Tse asked his children 'Do you know what the meaning of each of your names is?" His children replied that they did not, and Mr. Tse responded laughingly "Mei Sang means  'born in the United States', Ying Sang means 'born in England', and Fat Sang means 'born in France'. Loey Sang means 'born in an inn while travelling', and Hong Sang means 'born in Hong Kong'.

We are called Tse, because I want to thank the people of the United States, England, France, the travel inn, and Hong Kong for our five wonderful children. It is for this reason that you are named Tse Mei-Sang, Tse Ying-Sang, Tse Fat-Sang, Tse Loey-Sang, and Tse Hong-Sang. Is everyone pleased with his or her name?

After her father's explanation Hong Sang declared, "Father, mother, thank you both! I like children and like to travel very much. Tomorrow I want to go to the United States, England, France, Japan, and Hong Kong and other places, so that I can have two big children just like you, and five small children just like us. But who will be the father of my children?」Whereupon Mr. Tse and his wife looked at each other, as did the other four children and laughed.

1 A city of Guang Dong province.
