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.
