A customer dreams his mother asks him to go to a Chinese religious goods store to buy prayer goods for her. He had never before visited this store. The store owner tells him, “lih mai sian” — in Hokkien, not to make up stories. “你的妈妈那么厉害吗?” (Can your mother be so powerful?) The customer replies, “是真的，我没有来过。我乱说会给天公处罚。” (It’s true, I’ve never been here. If I’m lying, the Jade Emperor will punish me.”
