Mica was very interested to learn what reading meant to her, and he couldn't believe that they were punished for reading.  What did her people think reading meant, that they were smarter than them.  You could read all the books in the world and not be smart.<br/><br/>"Well I will be glad to teach you to read."  Mica said with a reassuring smile. "I have never taught anyone, but I am sure I can do it, or I will hire a tutor for you."<br/><br/>Mica thought about a couple of things, if she could read then she probably couldn't write either.<br/><br/>"So I take it you don't know how to write either?"
