This is a carpet that depicts [br]the battle between Italy and

0:00:11.093,0:00:16.043
Ethiopia because Italy invaded [br]Ethiopia in the 1930s.

0:00:16.073,0:00:19.313
When that invasion occurred,

0:00:20.048,0:00:23.388
the people of Mexico [br]donated money and

0:00:23.408,0:00:25.768
sent it to the [br]people of Ethiopia.

0:00:26.048,0:00:28.528
Something like 80 years later,

0:00:29.838,0:00:32.488
Mexico had this horrendous [br]series of earthquakes,

0:00:32.498,0:00:35.478
lots of dead people, lots [br]of injury, lots of suffering.

0:00:35.578,0:00:38.568
The people of Ethiopia, even [br]though they were in a famine,

0:00:38.678,0:00:42.428
collected money and sent [br]money to Mexico because they

0:00:42.448,0:00:46.828
felt the necessary [br]obligation to reciprocate.

0:00:46.858,0:00:49.138
Fast forward a few years.

0:00:51.348,0:00:56.348
About right after the Civil War, the [br]people of Charleston, South Carolina,

0:00:56.438,0:00:59.158
were using bucket [br]brigades to fight fires.

0:00:59.338,0:01:02.788
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.
