Por kio oni hufferus hundon?
            - Korea dirafxo

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.
