“Epsy pushed his way through the inner circle but found himself too tongue tied to speak. One of Epsy's friends called out to Clay, 'He wants to be like you, even though he can't read.' Clay immediately plucked up one of his advertising posters from the platform, pointed to the big letter A in CLAY and said to Epsy, 'You see that, boy? That's an A. You've only got twenty-five more letters to go.' Epsy was so inspired that he set out to learn to read at once. A year later, he was admitted to college.”
