     The idea of what shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some
visitors would be surprised when they first came to India. When talked to an Indian, he would often shake
his head. The visitors might think that the Indian did not like what they said. But, in fact, they would be
completely wrong.
     Indians always shake their heads when they talk to each other. It does not have the same meaning as
our "No". If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or it will give him some trouble.
     One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired a car and an Indian to drive it. When he
told his driver to send him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The office said again, and the
driver shook his head again. At last, the office, of course, got angry.
     "How dare you refuse my order?" he shouted. "Drive me to my office at once!"
     The driver answered in quite loud voice, too. "Yes, sir!" But to the officer's surprise, the driver shook
his head at the same time.
     The car started, and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for
a while, and then he nodded with a smile, "No means Yes here!"

     As the sun rose, a dewdrop (露珠) woke up.  There it sat on a leaf, catching the sunlight. Proud of its
simple beauty,  it was very happy.  Around it were other dewdrops,  some on the same leaf and some on
other leaves. The dewdrop was sure that it was the best, the most special dewdrop of them all.
     Ah, it was good to be a dewdrop.
     The  wind  blew  and  the plant began to shake,  tipping  (使倾斜)  the leaf . The  dewdrop  became
frightened as it started to move towards the edge (边缘)of the leaf. Why was this happening? Things were comfortable. Things were safe. Why did they have to change? Why? Why?
     The dewdrop  reached  the edge of th e leaf.  It was sure that this was the end.  The day had only just
