This is George.
He lived with his friend, the man with the yellow
hat. He was a good little monkey, but he was always
curious.
This morning George was looking at some of his
friend's books. They were full of little black marks
and dots and lines，and George was curious: what
could one do with them?
The man with the yellow hat came just in time.
You don't tear a book apart to find out what's init,"
he said. “You READ it, George. Books are full ofstories.
Stories are made of words，and words are made of letters.
If you want to read a story you first have to know
the letters of the alphabet. Let me show you."
The man took a big pad and began to draw.
George was curious.
“This is an A," the man said. “The A is thefirst
letter of the alphabet."
Now we add four feet and a long tail 一
and the A becomes an ALLIGATOR
with his mouth wide open.
The word ALLIGATOR starts with an A.
This is a big A. There is also a small a.
All letters come in big and in small.
This is a small a
It looks like a piece of an apple.
George knew alligator’s and apples.
You could eat apples. Alligators could
eat you if you didn't watch out.
This is a big B
The big B looks like a BIRD if we put feet on it and
a tail and a BILL. The word B,IRD begins with a B.
BIRDS come in all colors. This SIRD is BLUE.
George loved to watch B'IRDS.
This is a small b
It could be a bee.
This bee is busy buzzing around a blossom.
The bee's body has black and yellow stripes.
George kept away from bees.
They might sting，and that would be bad.
This is a big C
We will make it into a CRAB
A big CRAB,
with a shell，and feet，and two CLAWS
This is a small c
The small c is like the big C, only smaller,
so it becomes a small crab. It's cute.
Crabs live in the ocean.
They can swim or run sidewise and backwards.
Crabs can be funny, but they con also pinch you.
You now have three
letters, George," the man said,
A and B and C. With these three letters
you can make a WORD, the first word
you can read yourself. The word is
CAB
cαb
You know what a cab is. I once took you
for a ride in a cab, remember? And now
let's draw the next letter."
The big D
Could be a dinosaur
There are no live DINOSAURS TODAY,
they have DIED out.
Those you see in museums are DUMMIES.
George had seen DINOSAURS in a museum once.
