Officer: May I see your passport, please?
Mr. Li: Yes. Here you are.
Officer: Are you traveling on business or for pleasure?
Mr. Li: I'm going to visit my older sister in New York.
Officer: How long will you stay?
Mr. Li: For several months.
Officer: Do you have anything to declare? Jewelry or cash?
Mr. Li: No, I haven't. The only things I brought were my own clothes, my notebook computer and some gifts for my sister.
Officer: I'm sorry. I'm afraid I'll have to check these, too. Did you bring any fruits, vegetables, fresh meats or plants into this country?
Mr. Li: Oh… would you kindly allow me to bring in the civet durian? It is the favorite of my sister.
Officer: Sorry, rotten fruit is not allowed.
Mr. Li: But it is NOT rotten. It naturally has the special flavor.
Officer: Well, perhaps. But perishables are also not allowed.
Mr. Li: Oh, my poor sister!
