"Yes I can!"
Bob wrote in response
Otto had told him what he thought was the right answer
Bob had understood
but he soon wanted to ask the question again.
the predicament: Bob could write but he couldn't speak.
Otto could speak but couldn't write.
Unfortunately, he forgot about the other's condition.
He was frustrated he couldn't get his point across.
Staring intently at the paper,
Otto tried to motion the problem, until...
Bob had an epiphany andΒ started to write again.
He had suddenly remembered that both of them could read;
Following that, Otto excitedly began to explain
that both of them could hear as well. Otto then whispered...
precisely what Bob had written on the paper,
"Can you read between the lines?"

Please read on a large screen. The lines may be broken at the wrong places if displayed on a smaller screen.

For those that are confused, make sure to reread every other line from the beginning. Also, remember to read it from both Otto's point of view and Bob's point of view.

Edit: I changed the names of the two characters so that they are both palindromes.
