[00:10.09]What happened when the snake charmer began to play jazz? [00:16.24]As we had had a long walk through one of the markets of old Delhi, [00:22.01]we stopped at a square to have a rest. [00:26.05]After a time, we noticed a snake charmer with [00:29.80]two large baskets at the other side of the square, [00:34.06]so we went to have a look at him. [00:37.59]As soon as he saw us, [00:39.85]he picked up a long pipe which was covered with coins and opened one of the baskets. [00:47.11]When he began to play a tune, [00:49.89]we had our first glimpse of the snake. [00:53.85]It rose out of the basket and began to follow the movements of the pipe. [01:00.19]We were very much surprised when the snake charmer [01:03.81]suddenly began to play jazz and modern pop songs. [01:09.41]The snake, however, continued to 'dance' slowly. [01:14.53]It obviously could not tell the difference between Indian music and jazz!
