GESTURES--EATING (CHINESE)
"A POTENTIAL KIDNAPPER CAN TELL A RICH CHILD FROM A POOR ONE BY
THE WAY THE CHILD EATS FISH. THEY WOULD KIDNAP A CHILD AND GIVE
THE CHILD A PIECE OF FISH. IF THE CHILD EATS ANY PART OF THE FISH
EXCEPT FOR THE BELLY, THEY WILL KNOW HE IS POOR AND WILL LET HIM
GO. BUT IF THE CHILD EATS THE BELLY AREA OF THE FISH, THEY WILL
KNOW THAT THE CHILD IS FROM A WEALTHY FAMILY AND WILL HOLD HIM
FOR RANSOM."
