Each Indian tribe (部落) had a different language. Many Indians never

learned any language e___86___ their own. Do you know how Indians from

different tribes talked to each? They had two ways to talk without sound.

One way was by sign language; the other was by signals.

Sign language is a way talking by signs. Indians used it when they met

strangers. In this way, they could find out w___87___ the stranger was a

friend or an enemy.

Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To make signals, an Indian might use a pony (小马). He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows (箭) .

The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held two c___89___ of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing (摇动) the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.

He could also send many signals with a mirror to w___90___ someone or to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors could be used o___91___ when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.

An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on it. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he r___92___ the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.

Now you can see that Indians didn't need to learn each other's language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.
