Letters Better Than Money

I ran short of money while visiting my brother, so I borrowed fifty dollars from him.  After my return home, I wrote him a short letter every few weeks, enclosing a five-dollar check in each one.  He called me up and told me how much he enjoyed the letters regarding the money I owed; I had never written regularly before.

Finally I sent off a letter and the last five-dollar check.  In my mailbox the next week I found an envelop from my brother.  Inside was another fifty dollars.
