--- Lesson 42 Not very musical |

--- First listen and then answer the question. |
| [00:14.840] |
--- What happened when the sake charmer began to play jazz? |
| [00:22.720] |
As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, we stopped at a square to have a rest. |
| [00:32.880] |
After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with two large baskets at the other side of the square, so we went to have a look at him. |
| [00:44.600] |
As soon as he saw us, he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. |
| [00:55.680] |
When he began to play a tune, we had our first glimpse of the snake. |
| [01:02.960] |
It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. |
| [01:09.920] |
We were very much surprised when the snake charmer suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. |
| [01:20.200] |
The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. |
| [01:25.880] |
It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz! |
