单选题 Jackson was working a long way from home. He
wanted to send a letter to his wife, but he could neither read nor write, and he
had to work all day, so he could only look for somebody to write his letter late
at night. At last he found the house of a letter-writer. His name was Colin.
Colin was already in bed. "It is late, " he said. "What do you want?" "I want
you to write a letter to my wife, " said Jackson. Colin was not pleased. He
thought for a few seconds and then said, "Has the letter got to go far?" "What
does that matter?" answered Jackson." Well, my writing is so strange that only I
can read it, and if I have to travel a long way to read your letter to your
wife, it will cost you a lot of money." Jackson went away quickly.
