1
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Invoke reciprocation

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
This is a carpet that depicts 
the battle between Italy and

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Ethiopia because Italy invaded 
Ethiopia in the 1930s.

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
When that invasion occurred,

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
the people of Mexico 
donated money and

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
sent it to the 
people of Ethiopia.

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Something like 80 years later,

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Mexico had this horrendous 
series of earthquakes,

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
lots of dead people, lots 
of injury, lots of suffering.

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The people of Ethiopia, even 
though they were in a famine,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
collected money and sent 
money to Mexico because they

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
felt the necessary 
obligation to reciprocate.

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fast forward a few years.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
About right after the Civil War, 
the people of Charleston, South Carolina,

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
were using bucket 
brigades to fight fires.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The people of New York, including 
Union soldiers, heard about this.

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And they donated money to buy the 
city of Charleston a fire truck.

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
That first fire truck was 
on a boat that sank.

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, they had to raise 
money again and send

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
another fire truck 
to Charleston.

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Fast forward to 
right after 09/11.

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
The people of Charleston raised 
over half a million dollars to

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
buy a fire truck for the people of 
New York because the people of

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Charleston pledged that if 
New York ever needed its help,

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it would come through, 
135 years later.

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
Reciprocation is a 
very powerful force

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to make your 
enchantment endure.
