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.

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.
