Oh! [Right, the reading thing. Sampo does have other things to do than just flirt outrageously with a handsome fishman.] Of course! You're in luck, I'm a great teacher. We'll have you reading in no time!
[He can, like, get some books or something back in town and bring those back. They taught kids how to read with them, how hard could it be for an adult to figure it out?]
