9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Invoke reciprocation

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
This is a carpet that depicts [br]the battle between Italy and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Ethiopia because Italy invaded [br]Ethiopia in the 1930s.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
When that invasion occurred,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
the people of Mexico [br]donated money and

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
sent it to the [br]people of Ethiopia.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Something like 80 years later,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Mexico had this horrendous [br]series of earthquakes,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
lots of dead people, lots [br]of injury, lots of suffering.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The people of Ethiopia, even [br]though they were in a famine,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
collected money and sent [br]money to Mexico because they

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
felt the necessary [br]obligation to reciprocate.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Fast forward a few years.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
About right after the Civil War, [br]the people of Charleston, South Carolina,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
were using bucket [br]brigades to fight fires.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The people of New York, including [br]Union soldiers, heard about this.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
And they donated money to buy the [br]city of Charleston a fire truck.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
That first fire truck was [br]on a boat that sank.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
So, they had to raise [br]money again and send

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
another fire truck [br]to Charleston.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Fast forward to [br]right after 09/11.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
The people of Charleston raised [br]over half a million dollars to

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
buy a fire truck for the people of [br]New York because the people of

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Charleston pledged that if [br]New York ever needed its help,

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
it would come through, [br]135 years later.

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
Reciprocation is a [br]very powerful force

9:59:59.000,9:59:59.000
to make your [br]enchantment endure.
