Amazing India
I was a teenager when I went to India for the first time. I spent three weeks there with my family and it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life.
I was a teenager when I went to India for the first time. I spent three weeks there with my family and it was definitely one of the best experiences of my life.
One day while we were going to the Taj Mahal, we decided to stop at a marketplace. I was walking through the market, looking around when, suddenly, I saw something amazing. A man was lying on a bed of nails, but he didn't seem to feel any pain at all. I just stood there looking at him, expecting to see blood. But I didn't see anything. As I continued walking, I saw a man playing the flute and, to my surprise, there was a snake coming out of a basket. The snake was moving to the music, almost like it was dancing! When the music stopped, the snake stopped too and went back into its basket. 'How do they do these things?' I thought.

It wasn't until some years later that I got an answer to that question, as I was reading an article about India. According to the text, anyone can sit on a bed of nails and not feel much pain. However, the nails should be close together. As for the snakes, well they don't hear anything. The snake charmers play music and move from side to side and the snake moves in the same way.

So, that's how they do it. Was I disappointed? Well, a little. But I still think India is an exciting place to go on holiday.
