[00:01.080] --- lesson 48 The silent village
[00:05.320] --- Listen to the tape then answer the question below.
[00:10.800] --- Why was the village silent?
[00:15.840] In this much-travelled world, there are still thousands of places which are inaccessible to tourists.
[00:22.920] We always assume that villagers in remote places are friendly and hospitable.
[00:28.920] But people who are cut off not only from foreign tourists, but even from their own countrymen can be hostile to travellers.
[00:37.640] Visits to really remote villages are seldom enjoyable -- as my wife and I discovered during a tour through the Balkans.
[00:47.320] We had spent several days in a small town and visited a number of old churches in the vicinity.
[00:55.240] These attracted many visitors, for they were not only of great architectural interest,
[01:01.200] but contained a large number of beautifully preserved frescoes as well.
[01:06.600] On the day before our departure, several bus loads of tourists descended on the town.
[01:13.200] This was more than we could bear, so we decided to spend our last day exploring the countryside.
[01:21.320] Taking a path which led out of the town, we crossed a few fields until we came to a dense wood.
[01:29.240] We expected the path to end abruptly, but we found that it traced its way through the trees.
[01:35.760] We tramped through the wood for over two hours until we arrived at a deep stream.
[01:41.280] We could see that the path continued on the other side, but we had no idea how we could get across the stream.
[01:49.120] Suddenly my wife spotted a boat moored to the bank.
[01:53.320] In it there was a boatman fast asleep.
[01:56.600] We gently woke him up and asked him to ferry us to the other side.
[02:01.680] Though he was reluctant to do so at first, we eventually persuaded him to take us.
[02:07.680] The path led to a tiny village perched on the steep sides of a mountain.
[02:13.240] The place consisted of a straggling unmade road which was lined on either side by small houses.
[02:20.400] Even under a clear blue sky, the village looked forbidding, as all the houses were built of grey mud bricks.
[02:29.840] The village seemed deserted, the only sign of life being an ugly-looking black goat on a short length of rope tied to a tree in a field nearby.
[02:40.360] Sitting down on a dilapidated wooden fence near the field, we opened a couple of tins of sardines and had a picnic lunch.
[02:49.720] All at once, I noticed that my wife seemed to be filled with alarm.
[02:55.200] Looking up I saw that we were surrounded by children in rags who were looking at us silently as we ate.
[03:03.240] We offered them food and spoke to them kindly, but they remained motionless.
[03:09.720] I concluded that they were simply shy of strangers.
[03:14.040] When we later walked down the main street of the village, we were followed by a silent procession of children.
[03:20.600] The village which had seemed deserted, immediately came to life.
[03:25.680] Faces appeared at windows.
[03:28.040] Men in shirt sleeves stood outside their houses and glared at us.
[03:33.280] Old women in black shawls peered at us from doorways.
[03:37.800] The most frightening thing of all was that not a sound could be heard.
[03:42.840] There was no doubt that we were unwelcome visitors.
[03:46.720] We needed no further warning.
[03:49.120] Turning back down the main street, we quickened our pace and made our way rapidly towards the stream where we hoped the boatman was waiting.
