i love writing childrens stories. This is the first in a thought out series. The rest include the letters growing up (becoming capitals), when the letters play they learn to make "music" together c+h= ch ect...then when Mr. y teaches them to "shape shift" and they can be both little and big, and when to use big. Then an introduction to punctuation...

a, e, i, o and u lived together on the corner of Letter Lane and Alphabet Avenue. Their mailbox said "vowels," and they were happy. Although they were happy, boy, were they moody! Some days stretched on forever and the sounds coming from the vowel house were long. a said "A," e yawned "EE," i sighed "EYE," o moaned "OH," and u would groan "YOU." Other days were short, and the noises that were made were short too. a yelled "AH," e shouted "EH," i hollered "IH," o called out "OOO," and u would roar "UH." But a, e, i, o and u were lonely. There was only one other person on their street and an abandoned house across from theirs.
The other person on the street was Mr. Y. Mr. Y was an old gentleman who was very wise. The vowels loved him and he came to visit often. One day Mr. Y told the vowels that a new family was moving in next door. Everyone was very excited, they were going to have friends! When moving day came, a, e, i, o, and u watched excitedly from their window. But as the moving truck began to unload and the new family climbed out of the van a, e, i, o and u gasped. These new neighbors were different, they didn't look they same, the noises they made were all the same. a, e, i, o and u stepped back from the window and sat down. They weren't going to have new friends after all.
As days passed a, e, i, o and u still watched the new neighbors from their window. They watched as the neighbors finished the house and painted, in big letters, "consonants" on the new mailbox. As the vowels watched from their window they noticed that one of the stranger letters was walking towards their house. He was carrying a plate of brownies. a, e, i, o and u ducked behind the furniture and held their breath. The letter knocked on the door, no one answered. He kept knocking, and still no one answered.The strange letter set the brownies on the door step and walked back to his house and his family.
Days later Mr. Y paid a visit to the vowels. He called a, e, i, o and u downstairs and set them down together in the living room. He spoke very slowly and with lots of wisdom. He asked why they were ignoring their new neighbors. a, e, i, o and u looked around at eachother and then at the floor. Finally they began to speak, they said it was because their new neighbors were different, they made only one noise, they looked funny and there were twenty of them. Mr. Y exlplained to a, e, i, o and u that this didn't matter, he told them that their difference make playing more fun. He told them to go over to the consonants . Then he left.
a, e, i, o and u watched Mr. Y leave and then they too, got up and walked out of the house. They walked across that street and up to their neighbor's door. a knocked and one of the "strange" letters answered the door. Both a and the letter said hi. The new letter introduced himself as t and asked a, e, i, o and u to come inside. t brought all his brothers and sisters downstairs and introduced them to a, e, i, o and u. t called them b, c, d, f, g, h, j, k, l, m, n, p, q, r, s, v, w, x, and the littlest one was z. All the letters played all afternoon and when it came time to go home all the vowels were very sad and everyone made promises to come visit in the morning.
