Once a rich man went to the sea for his summer holiday. He asked his housekeeper to post him all the letters that he would receive when he was away. The housekeeper agreed to do that. The man had a good rest. A month passed but he received no letters. He thought it was strange and rang up his housekeeper.
"Why don't you post my letters?"
"Because you didn't leave me the key to the letter box," his housekeeper replied.
The man said sorry and promised to send back the key. A few days later he put the key into an envelope, wrote down his address on it and posted the letter. Another month passed but still he did not receive the letters.
When he returned home at the end of the month, he spoke angrily to his housekeeper.
"But what could I do?" asked the poor housekeeper. "The key which you posted was in the locked letter box, too.”
