1
00:00:03,408 --> 00:00:05,008
Invoke reciprocation

2
00:00:05,453 --> 00:00:11,083
This is a carpet that depicts 
the battle between Italy and

3
00:00:11,093 --> 00:00:16,043
Ethiopia because Italy invaded 
Ethiopia in the 1930s.

4
00:00:16,723 --> 00:00:19,353
When that invasion occurred,

5
00:00:20,518 --> 00:00:23,388
the people of Mexico 
donated money and

6
00:00:23,398 --> 00:00:25,768
sent it to the 
people of Ethiopia.

7
00:00:26,518 --> 00:00:28,528
Something like 80 years later,

8
00:00:29,838 --> 00:00:32,488
Mexico had this horrendous 
series of earthquakes,

9
00:00:32,498 --> 00:00:35,478
lots of dead people, lots 
of injury, lots of suffering.

10
00:00:35,588 --> 00:00:38,568
The people of Ethiopia, even 
though they were in a famine,

11
00:00:38,688 --> 00:00:42,418
collected money and sent 
money to Mexico because they

12
00:00:42,428 --> 00:00:46,828
felt the necessary 
obligation to reciprocate.

13
00:00:46,858 --> 00:00:49,138
Fast forward a few years.

14
00:00:51,348 --> 00:00:56,348
About right after the Civil War, the 
people of Charleston, South Carolina,

15
00:00:56,438 --> 00:00:59,158
were using bucket 
brigades to fight fires.

16
00:00:59,338 --> 00:01:02,788
The people of New York, including 
Union soldiers, heard about this.

17
00:01:02,938 --> 00:01:07,818
And they donated money to buy the 
city of Charleston a fire truck.

18
00:01:09,038 --> 00:01:11,748
That first fire truck was 
on a boat that sank.

19
00:01:11,748 --> 00:01:13,448
So they had to raise
money again and

20
00:01:13,448 --> 00:01:18,118
send another fire 
truck to Charleston.

21
00:01:19,468 --> 00:01:21,758
Fast forward to 
right after 09/11.

22
00:01:21,758 --> 00:01:25,048
The people of Charleston raised 
over half a million dollars to

23
00:01:25,048 --> 00:01:28,658
buy a fire truck for the people of 
New York because the people of

24
00:01:28,678 --> 00:01:31,898
Charleston pledged that if 
New York ever needed its help,

25
00:01:32,068 --> 00:01:35,208
it would come through, 
135 years later.

26
00:01:36,288 --> 00:01:39,838
Reciprocation is a 
very powerful force

27
00:01:39,858 --> 00:01:42,468
to make your 
enchantment endure.
