Advice sought, please

[Guest guest]

I have made a new friend, an elderly qigung master, who has been very generous

with his time and friendship.

 

Last week, he gave me a beautiful calligraphy scroll which I'd previously

admired. I want to visit him today and wish to bring him a gift. However, I

have no idea what would be an appropriate token of respect.

 

I was thinking of trying to replant a small bit of bamboo from my garden and

placing it in a decorative pot. This, as anyone who grows bamboo knows, will be

quite difficult, and I may not have the strength to cut through the rhizome.

 

Any other suggestions? I wish to give him a small gift to show my appreciation

for his kindness--his English is limited, my Chinese is non-existant, and I want

this to be absolutely appropriate.

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Florie
