"I'm afraid I can't write a letter for you today," said Nasruddin. "I've injured my foot."
"I don't understand," said the man. "You don't need your foot to write a letter."
"Of course I can write the letter," replied Nasruddin. "But my handwriting is so bad that I need to accompany the letter in order to read the letter aloud when it arrives. And, like I told you, my foot is hurt, so I can't make a trip to Konya at the moment."
Inspired by: This is Nasruddin Tale Type T0129.
Notes: Many of the Nasruddin stories are set in the vicinity of Konya in Turkey.
