To be honest
In old time, there was a rich man who had many livestock and fields. One day, a young man wrote a letter to the rich man and wanted to borrow an ox from him.
The rich man was just treating guests. He wouldn’t let his guests know that he was illiterate. Upon receiving the letter, he opened the envelope and skimmed through the letter line by line as if he could read. Then he said to the messenger: “Well! I'll be right there.”
