Question

We watched it, and one of those who were with me went and stood under the reed to see whether they would let it drop, or what they would do, but as he did so the reed was raised and moved from side to side, as if they meant to say "no" by a shake of the head.

Accepted Answer

Miramos en ello, y uno de los que conmigo estaban fue a ponerse debajo de la caña, por ver si la soltaban, o lo que hacían; pero, así como llegó, alzaron la caña y la movieron a los dos lados, como si dijeran no con la cabeza.
