The children were very eager for the snacks, but they seemed afraid of offending Lin Yang and the other foreigners with yellow skin, so even though they gathered around, they did so timidly.
Yue'er demonstrated great patience in distributing the snacks, giving each piece of candy or snack to the children, who grinned happily upon receiving them.
They hadn't even finished unloading the supplies from the boat when her snacks were already handed out.
Some kids had a bottle of cola, others a few packets of snow rice cakes, and still others a handful of candies; in short, everyone really liked the beautiful big sister who handed out treats.
Several older children even picked a few unknown flowers to give to Yue'er.
Humans, being higher animals, can communicate through actions, expressions, and eye contact, even when they don't speak the same language.
