Hassan started laughing in the front seat. "Now you speak Arabic? You must say a'eraf shwayet 'arabi." "What does that mean?" Scotty demanded. "It mean 'I know some Arabic'" The boys laughed with him.
In a few moments Hassan swung the little car to the curb and pointed to the nearest building. "There 5022." Rick started to get out, then he asked curiously, "How do you know, Hassan? I thought you couldn't read." "No can read words. Read numbers plenty good. Could not take people to places if could not read numbers." That made sense, Rick thought. Scotty let out a sudden exclamation.
"Hey, this is a barbershop, and it's closed for the night." Rick looked, then switched on the dome light. He compared the letterhead number and the number on the door. Clearly, it was 5022, unless they had mistaken threes for twos. The only difference between the two numbers was an extra squiggle in the upper line of the three. He checked the letter again. No, they were twos. He said so.
