A man wrote a letter and had it sent to a rich man to borrow an ox.
The rich man was just receiving guests.
He was illiterate, but he resented being considered so. Upon receiving the letter, he opened the envelope and skimmed through it as if he could read. Then he said to the messenger: "All right. I will go in a little while."
有个人写了一封信，派人去向一个富翁借头牛。
富翁正在会客。
他并不识字，却非常忌讳别人这么看他。一接到信，他便拆开信封，装出识字的样子浏览了一遍，然后对来人说：“知道了，等一会儿我就去！”
