(B)
What shaking the
head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors
would be surprised when they first come to India. When they talk to an Indian,
they would find he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that
the Indian doesn’t like what they say. But in fact, they would be completely
wrong.
Indians always
shake their heads when they talk to others. It doesn’t mean “No”. If someone
wants to visit India,
he should know this, or he will be in trouble.
One day, a
foreign officer went to India
on business. He hired a car and asked an Indian to drive him. When he told his
driver to take him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The
officer said again and the driver shook his head again. At last the officer, of
course, got angry.
“How dare you
refuse my order?” he shouted, “Drive me to my office at once!”
The driver
answered in quite a 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!”
