"How should I explain this?" Porky said to himself as he lowered the journal, "Alright, this is a bit of a complex idea, but I'll try my best. Okay, you know how we're talking right now? Like, with words? Well, over the course of our evolution, humanity has since developed a system called the alphabet, where every sound is represented by a certain symbol, like this one." Porky pointed to the uppercase 'C.'
"Anyway, this allows humans to communicate without speaking, which is very useful if you want to keep something secret or want to know what someone 'said' long after they've written it down. Oh, the recording of these symbols is called 'writing,' by the way. Anyway, being able to read is very important here at Landel's. One of the most important resources here is the bulletin board. It's a giant piece of paper, which is what people write on. Kind of a flat, thin...rock, I guess. Everyone writes down things on it that they think could help other patients. Sometimes other people ask questions and other people answer. Either way, it's a very useful thing, but, since you can't read, it'll be nearly worthless to you unless you can find someone who can read the notes to you."
