   Why would anuone put horseshoes on a dog?   
               - Korean saying   
      
   Note that what appears to be a double "f" in "hufferus".  That's really an f   
   at the end of "huf" (hoof), and a separate one at the beginning of "fer"   
   (iron).  Except for compound words like that, you'll never see a double letter   
   in an Esperanto word!   
      
   Also, the esperanto version above is exactly the way I saw it (obviously   
   translated from Korean by someone else(.  It starts with "Por kio", `for   
   what'.  I almost changed it to "Kial", the more usual way of saying "why" (for   
   what reason) in esperanto.  {shrug}. It works either way.
