Ⅵ. Reading comprehension
Talking
Without Sound
Each
Indian tribe had a different language. Many Indians
never learned any language except their own. Do
you know how Indians from different tribes talked
to each other? They had two ways to talk without
sound. One way was by sign language; another way
be signals.
Sign
language is a way of talking by using signs. Indians
used sign language when they met strangers. In
this way, they could find out whether the stranger
was a friend or an enemy. In Indian sign language,
signs were made with the hands. One sign meant
“man”. Another meant “horse”. To tell the time
of day when something happened, an Indian pointed
to the sky. He showed where the sun had been at
the time.
Indians
usually used signals when they wanted to send
messages to someone far away. To make signals,
an Indian might use a pony. He might use a blanket.
Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows.
To
signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian
rode his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the
Indian gave a signal like this and then went away
to hide. This meant that there was a danger.
The
blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian
held the corners of a blanket in his hands. Then
he began to swing the blanket from side to side
in front of him. an Indian could send many different
signals with his blanket.
He
could also send many signals with a mirror. He
usually used the mirror to warn someone of danger.
Or he attempted to get the attention of a person
far away. But he also used it to send messages
in code. Of course, mirrors could be used only
when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used
fire arrows for signaling.
An
Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a
small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green
branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire
for a minute. When he removed the blanket from
the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number
of clouds of smoke told his message in code.
Now
you can see that Indians didn't need to learn
each other's language. They could talk to one
another by using signals or sign language.
