This Culture Of Lying Flat To Greet Elders by Onyegecha(f): 8:16am On Jul 16, 2014
Just wondering if this culture of lying flat on the ground to show one's respect to elders still obtains in today's world. If yes, what happens if the place where the two meet is swampy? Will the younger person lie down on the moist surface or are there modifications?
