उत्तर
The poet saw a donkey that was just one day old. The donkey's head was too big for his neck to hold, and his legs were long, loose, and shaky. They moved suddenly and unsteadily and didn't seem to be of much use. The donkey tried to run and leap playfully, but he did not seem quite sure how it was done. His peculiar little coat was soft and grey and curled at his neck in a pretty way. His face looked hopeful and he appeared to be thinking about life. Feeling adventurous, he moved around awkwardly, searching for something. Then he lay flat on the ground to rest. The poet says that the little donkey looked small and weak, and he prayed that the world would be kind to him.

According to some experts, a staggering 93 percent of our daily communication is non-verbal. Facial expressions are easy to decipher. One can readily detect happiness, sadness, anger. Physicians can tell a patient is doing well (or not) by looking at his/her face. Eye contact is another type of non-verbal communication, which can tell a lot about the other person. The eyes convey a range of emotions-happiness, sadness, boredom, surprise, confidence .......... even emotional interest. Staring at someone's forehead may intimidate the recipient, staring at the mouth is sometimes interpretated as a sign of emotional interest. In fact, staring into someone's eyes is a sign of lying, and so is looking away. In certain cultures, lack of eye contact is taken as a sign of respect. If body language is to be defined, it is a combination of facial expression, gestures, eye contact, body movements and posture and voice. Frequent blinking is a sign of the person feeling distressed or uncomfortable. If the pupils are dilated, it ofter indicates interest, even emotional interest. The lips also reflect our body language, and lip biting indicates worry and/or anxiety; tightening of the lips may be an indication of disapproval. Slightly turned-up lips indicate happiness and slightly turned-down lips indicate sadness. |
