In this story the letters a, e, i, o, and u,
paddle a canoe on Letter Lake. Their fun is interrupted by shouting from shore.
As they turn toward the shore to see what is wrong, they
lose their paddles when letter I stands up and rocks the canoe.
When they discover that the other letters are panicked
because they cannot make any words without the vowels,
letter Y comes to the rescue.
