Once upon a time in Alphabetville, there lived a letter, a bright and bouncy one, named B. B was bulbous and buoyant, with a big belly that bounced like a bubble.
Every day, B would bound around town, bumping into buildings and bouncing off barricades. B was always beaming, bringing bouts of belly laughs to all the other letters and numbers in Alphabetville.
One fine morning, B decided to host a barbecue. He sent out beautiful invitations with bold borders to everyone in town. The day of the barbecue arrived and B was beyond excited. He bought bushels of bananas, baskets of buns, and barrels of barbecue sauce.
As the guests began to arrive, B bounced over to greet them, but with a big boing, he bumped into the barbecue grill, sending it barreling into a big blueberry bush. Balls of smoke billowed and the blueberries burst into a blaze of blue flames!
“Oh, my b-b-bouncing belly!” bellowed B, as he bounded over to battle the blaze.
All of Alphabetville banded together. They formed a brigade with buckets of water, and bravely battled the blaze. The flames were beaten back and the barbecue was back in business.
B was a bit bashful about the blunder, but everyone reassured him. “It’s the best barbecue bonanza we’ve ever been to!” cheered the letters and numbers.
B beamed with bliss, and as the sun bid goodbye, B and his buddies danced beneath the bright moon, belting out boisterous ballads and boogieing into the night.
