One day, Joan sees her little sister in the room. She is at the table. There is a pencil in her hand. She is writing.
“What are you doing, Mary?” She asks.
“I’m writing to my friend, Rose.”
“But how can you? You don’t know how to write. ” Says her sister.
“Well,” says Mary, “It doesn’t matter. Rose doesn’t know how to read, either.”
