Reread

"But how could they just ignore the entire 12-page proposal that I had sent in?" I frantically wondered. For weeks, I had prepared, I had collated and assembled, and finally, I had sent it off. And for two weeks, not a peep. Frustrated, disappointed, I opened the letter and re-read it for what seemed like the tenth time.

Then I saw it, not 15 characters in: I had put a 4 in place of a 5.

Well, I thought, that explains it.
