Once upon a time, the letter A was sitting with a frog, chatting with a duck and a dog. Suddenly, the letter B came by with a cheeky grin. “There are five vowels in your group, but we have 21 consonants! We’re more important!” B boasted.
A knew that vowels were special, even though there were only five of them. B stuck out his tongue and bragged, “Our group is number one!” A replied, “You’ll miss us when we’re gone!” And just like that, the vowels disappeared!
Without vowels, the dog couldn’t bark; he said “burke.” The duck couldn’t quack; she said “cook.” The frog couldn’t croak; he said “crock.” The horse laughed, “Who needs the A?” But then E left, and the horse could only say “nigh.”
The sheep couldn’t bleat; it just blocked. B laughed loudly, but I got upset and flew away like a rocket. The horse was sad and cried “nigh.”
The pig could only say “ankh,” and the cow laughed with the bunny. They thought it was funny. But soon, O left too, and the cow could only say “O.” The pigeons couldn’t coo, and the rooster was confused.
Suddenly, a tractor was coming fast, but only you and B noticed. B tried to shout “Stop!” but only “st” came out. He tried to scream “watch out,” but it didn’t work.
B jumped to the tractor and tried to honk the horn, but it only went “punk.” No one heard it. You knew what to do! You jumped high and turned into an O. The horn finally went “Honk!” and the tractor stopped just in time.
With the vowels back, the dog could bark, the duck could quack, the frog could croak, and the birds could tweet. The horse could nay, the sheep could bleat, the pig could oink, the cow could moo, and the pigeons could coo. Even the rooster could “a doodle doodle doo.”
The letters realized they needed each other. B said, “Sorry, now we see the alphabet’s a family.” Then Y spoke up, “Sometimes I feel left out, but you need me to say goodbye.”

Can you save the day?
The letter A sat by a frog and chatted with a duck and dog until the letter B swept by with a wicked twinkle in his eye.
“There are five vowels in your group but 21 in our grand troop! I’m a more important letter; consonants are so much better!”
A knew it only took one hand to count the members in her band, but consonants need all the toes and fingers plus a nose.
B stuck out his tongue and bragged, “Our group is number one!”
A replied, “You’ll regret it when all the vowels are gone, I bet!”
Then, poof! Like that, they disappeared, and things got a little weird.
Instead of barking, the dog said “burke.” The duck couldn’t quack; she could only “cook.” The frog, poor thing, couldn’t croak; he could only “crock.”
The horse laughed, “Nay, who needs the A?” and turned his back to eat some hay. But then E said, “You’re being rude; I don’t like you!” and took off.
Things went awry, and all the horse could say was “nigh.” Instead of tweeting, the sheep just blocked instead of bleating.
Now mean old B just whooped and roared as see-through Z laughed in a chord. Insulted young I spun her dot and soared off like an astronaut. Turning back, she waved goodbye, and the horse just hung his head to cry.
“Ankh,” was all the pig could mutter. The cow cracked up beside the bunny; they thought it was all too funny.
So they sat and watched the fun as A, E, I left one by one. But wouldn’t you know, the next to go would be the cow’s lone vowel.
“O,” was all that she could say when O decided not to stay. The pigeons too, they couldn’t coo.
And rooster, I bet you can guess, said distressed, “The consonants were so absorbed in laughing that they all ignored a tractor speeding toward their crowd, fast asleep ahead.”
Only you and B observed the tractor as it swung and swerved. It snoozed and snored away, gaining speed to B’s dismay.
“Stop!” B tried to shout in fear, but “st” was all the world could hear. And when he tried to scream “watch out,” which was all that he could spout.
Determined, B jumped to his feet and vaulted to the tractor’s seat. This was a test B couldn’t flunk. B pushed the horn, and the horn went “punk.”
So no one heard, no one cared. B turned to you, a plea prepared, but vowelless words wouldn’t flow, so B’s unease began to grow.
Calmly, you held up your hands; you could make B understand that yes indeed their group was small, but with no vowels, words will stall.
So up you jumped, strong and high, reaching straight up toward the sky. You bent your arms above your head and turned into an O instead.
When you did that, the horn could sound. “Honk!” The warning shook the ground. “Honk!” The tractor woke with the alert and stopped in time; no one was hurt.
You turned toward the consonants, knotted with some confidence, and off you marched to make things right and help the letters reunite.
Once A, E, I, O, U came back, the dog could bark, the duck could quack, the frog could croak, the birds could tweet, the horse could nay, the sheep could bleat, the pig could oink, the cow could moo, the tractor honked, and the pigeons cooed.
And what about the rooster? Yeah, he too could “a doodle doodle doo.”
Sheepishly, the letters shrugged; the consonants and vowels hugged. B said, “Sorry, now we see the alphabet’s a family.”
Then a steady voice said, “Wait! I have one thing that I must state. At times I feel left out,” said Y. “But you need me to say goodbye.”
