A4 The first thing that comes to mind is that the man's question is silly because you can in no way shake hands with a fish. But you can also think that the man is a fish-lover, and that, perfectly aware that animals cannot behave like men, he just deplores not being able to shake hands with the beloved fish he has just encountered.

Q4. Describe the picture in English.  

 This drawing shows the encounter of a fish and a diver. We can see the man is a diver because of the oxygen bottles he is carrying on his back. The diver is holding out his his hand as if to shake hands  while the fish is gaping at him.
