Once upon a time, there lived a rich man who was illiterate.
One day, a friend wished to borrow an ox from him. The friend wrote a note and sent his servant to deliver it to the rich man.
Upon receiving the note, the rich man pretended to read it. After a moment, he said, "Alright, I understand. Go tell your master that I will come myself shortly."
