There
once was a very rich man who was illiterate, and one day another rich
man sent a messenger with a letter for him. Too embarrassed to reveal
that he couldn’t read, he asked the messenger to return to his
master and said that he would be over to his master’s place
in a while. But actually, he wanted to find someone to read the letter
to him.
“There’s
no need for that! We only want to borrow your horse, not you. So you
don’t need to come over later,” the messenger responded.
