the letter

one day, a friend of Pak Pandir's asked him to write a letter for him. "Where will the letter be sent?" asked Pak Pandir. "To Penang" the friend replied. "I cannot go there," said Pak Pandir. "But you don't have to go. the letter will be sent there" explained the friend. "That may be so," explained Pak Pandir, "But nobody can read my writing. Therefore, i have to travel to Penang to read it."
