A certain lawyer lived in a city in the north of India. One day he had his photograph taken. In the photo he appeared wearing English clothes, coat, waistcoat, trousers, boots, collar and tie. And over them was his lawyer's gown. And his two hands were in his trouser pockets.
He was pleased with the photograph, and used to show it to his friends. All of them praised it, and said it was very good and very life-like.
One day he was showing the photograph to some of his friends in his office. As they were looking at it, a Pathan (帕坦人), who had just appeared in a case, came in.
He also looked at the photograph, and they asked him how he liked it.
“Not at all,” replied the Pathan. “It is not at all life-like.”
“Why? What is the matter?” they all cried. “We think it a very good likeness. What fault do you find with it?”
“Well, just look at it,” he replied. “Where are the man's hands?”
“They are in his pockets,” said they.
“In whose pockets?” asked the Pathan.
“In his own, of course,” replied they.
“Well, that is just where the picture is wrong. I know it to my cost. His hands should be in someone else's pockets.”
