There is nothing difficult for us to do in the world. That is to say, if we do it, the difficult thing will be easy; if we don’t, the easy thing will be difficult. Here is a story.
Long, long ago, there lived two monks（和尚）in Sichuan. One was poor and the other was rich. One day the poor monk said to the rich one,“I want to go to Nanhai. What do you think of it?”
“Go to Nanhai?I have been trying to go there for quite a few years but I couldn’t .How can you get there without any money?”
“A bottle and a bowl are quite enough for me,”answered the poor one.
After a year, the poor monk returned from Nanhai and told his story to the rich monk. The rich monk’s face turned red and he had nothing to say. It’s thousands of miles from Sichuan to Nanhai. The rich one didn’t succeed but the poor one did.

The idea of what shaking the head means is not always the same in different countries. Maybe some visitors would be surprised when they first came to India. When talking to an Indian, he would often shake his head. The visitors might think that the Indian did not like what they said. But, in fact, they would be completely wrong.
Indians always shake their heads when they talk to each other. It does not have the same meaning as “No”. If someone wants to visit India, he should know this, or it will give him some trouble.
One day, a foreign officer went to India on business. He hired （雇）a car and an Indian to drive it. When he told his driver to send him to his office, the Indian shook his head at once. The officer said again, and the driver shook his head again. At last, the officer, of course, got angry.
“How dare（敢） you refuse my order（命令）?” he shouted. “Drive me to my office at once!”
The driver answered in quite loud voice, too. “Yes, sir!” But to the officer’s surprise, the driver shook his head at the same time.
The car started, and the foreign officer was now too surprised to say a word. He thought about it for a while, and then he nodded（点头）with a smile, “‘No’ means ‘Yes’ here!”
