You decide that you might as well try to make friends with the man...
after all you aren't sure what else to do. You reach out your hand in
the common greeting of the homeland. The man jumps back and suddenly
you find yourself on the ground, a painful bump on your head. You
didn't know, but to stick out your hand in the strange land you live
in means that you want a fight. You are too tired to fight the man,
but you are afraid of what might happen if you don't.
