Not Very Musical
As
we had a long walk through one of the markets of Old Delhi, we stopped at a
square to have a rest. After a time, we noticed a snake-charmer with two large
baskets on the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. As
soon as he saw us, he picked up along pipe which was covered with coins and
opened one of the baskets. When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse
of the snake. It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movement of the
pipe. We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly play jazz
tunes and popular modern songs. The snake, however, continued to ‘dance’
slowly. It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and
jazz!
