Once a young man went to town and bought a pair of trousers. When he gothome, he went upstairs to his
bedroom and put them on. He found that they were too long. He went downstairs, where his mother
and two sisters were washing up in the kitchen. "These new trousers need shortening by five centimeters,"
he said. They were busy and none of them said anything. When his mother finished washing up, she made
the trousers shorter by five centimeters and didn’t say anything to her daughters. After supper the elder
sister remembered her brother’s request. She shortened the trousers by five centimeters and said nothing to
anybody. The younger sister also went upstairs and took five centimeters off the legs of the new trousers.
You can imagine the boy’s face when he put the trousers on the
next morning.

One night there was a woman at the airport who had to wait for several hours before catching her next
flight. While she waited, she bought a book and a pack of biscuits to spend the time. She looked for a
place to sit and waited. She was deep into her book, when suddenly she realized that there
was a young man sitting next to her who was stretching his hand, and taking biscuits lying between them.
He started to eat them one by one. The woman ate the biscuits and watched the clock, while the young man
was also finishing them. The woman started to get really angry. Every time she ate a biscuit, he had one
too. She had never met anybody like him. She took her bags and went towards the boarding gate. After
boarding the plane, she looked into her bag. She was surprised to find her pack of biscuits inside.

There is an island between Myanmar and Indonesia. It is called North Sentinel Island.
In fact, the Sentinelese people know almost nothing of the outside world. They have never seen a cell
phone, a car or even a book. It is believed that the Sentinelese first came to the island around 60,000
years ago from Africa. Over the years, people from the outside have tried to visit the island, but
each time they have been met by attacks. The Sentinelese do not welcome any kind of contact with the
outside world. Because of this, we know little about them. We know nothing about their culture, their
language or even how many the population of the island is. There could be only 40 or as many as 400.
The island is under the control of India now and the Indian Navy maintains a 5-kilometer zone around
the island, which makes it practically impossible for anyone to get to the island.
