"How would you know! " Argues Giggles
" Because look at the words under this picture and every time you say E LOOK LOOK see It goes like that not like That" says Cassie Camel pointing at the wooden letter.
" This things attacking me!!, Ow Ouch ouch " Harry Hog says as the letter digs into his chin

" Is that better?" asks Giggles having turned the letter round the right way
" Oh much better " says Harry Hog " its not digging in me any more" he sighs with relief
Giggles rolls his eyes and looks at Cassie Camel
" Yes that is the same as the word under the picture now"
" Good"

" What are you all doing! You are in the way of the letter!! "

"We want to be in the picture too!"
" yes and the treasure"
" Yes Treasure," " treasure" " I seem to be stuck in this treasure" they are all talking at once again

" Hello what is happening here? " asks Kirsty coming across all the blue noses together.

" Oh" "Humm" " Nothing" " Just resting" " Playing" " Thinking" they are again all talking at the same time!

" Well Its a surprise" says Giggles

" For who? " asks Kirsty
" Esme"

" Look we have her Letter E "

" Very good that is an E for Esme but why do you have it now ?" asks Kirsty

" Because its her Birthday on 23rd"

" Yes It WAS her birthday on the 23rd of January not February"
" who be  ary?"
" January not February, now is February" states Kirsty helpfully

" OH NO we got the wrong ARY!! " says Giggles " everyone clear up "
All the blue noses start moving everything to be put away.

"Well Who knew what an ary was anyway " they grumbled as they cleared up all their treasure and letters.

" Why have you got a letter P?" asked Kirsty

" Really"
" Yes"

" Well if it starts in January and ends in December, where does February come from?"

" Its the second one "
" What year? theres another one?"

" Look Kirsty is telling Bubba a story lets listen"

Kirsty looks down to realise that all the blue noses have returned and are sitting listening.
