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.
