 Today, in many parts of the world, it is customary for people to shake hands upon meeting as gesture 
of good will. Originally, however, the practice of shaking hands had a more practical purpose. 
 Shaking hands originated in medieval times. In those days, when a man came on a stranger, he 
would often automatically reach for his sword with his right hand, in case he had to use the weapon to defend 
himself. Sometimes, both parties found themselves circling around each other, weapons in hand, until it was 
mutually agreed that the weapons could be laid aside. Then, the two parties extended their right hands to 
show they had no weapons, and clasped them. This was the beginning of the handshake. 
 The custom of shaking hands is not a universal one. In the Orient, people have, for centuries, clasped 
their own hands in front of them upon meeting to show that they held no weapons. In France, a custom 
developed in which people who met would kiss each other on both cheeks. The natives of some South-sea 
islands greet by rubbing noses.

 A. the two parties’ left hands. B. the two parties’ right hands.
