Always smile even if you're mad

Since the Malagasy are friendly, cheerful people, they don’t know how to appease angry people. They panic when they see someone angry, so it’s better to always smile even if you are irritated and mad because if you shout at them, the more that you might not get what you want because they won’t be able to understand why you are angry. As much as possible, the Malagasy would try their best to fulfill whatever their visitors want, so the best way to ask them favors is to smile.
