A, A, A! A is for Apple!
Alpha the A was a very important letter. He knew it! He was at the very beginning of the alphabet after all!
One day, Alpha the A was strolling along, puffing his chest out with pride.
"Look at me!" he said to the other letters, "I'm Alpha the A! I'm the first!"
The other letters giggled. They knew Alpha was a little bit boastful, but he was their friend.
"Oh, Alpha," chuckled Beta the B. "We know you're important, but you don't have to shout about it!"
Alpha the A paused, his smile fading. Did he sound boastful?
"Well," said Alpha the A. "It's important to be proud of who you are!"
"Yes, of course!" chimed in Gamma the C, always the peacemaker. "We are all special in our own ways."
"C is for cookie!" shouted Delta the D, his tummy rumbling. Everyone laughed.
"And D is for donut!" added Epsilon the E. They all knew how much Delta the D loved his treats!
Alpha the A chuckled. He loved his letter friends. They always knew how to make him smile.
From that day on, Alpha the A still puffed his chest out with pride, but he also remembered to be kind and appreciative of his friends.
After all, the alphabet was a team, and every letter was important in its own special way!
