Ribbit: Let me see. So far, we've done A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M. That's enough! Let's go home!

Buddy: Gosh, Ribbit! We've got lots of letters to go. The next one is "N". So now I shall tell a story that's filled with words that start with the letter "N".

Ribbit: I don't wan't to hear it.

Buddy: Gosh, Ribbit! Don't you want to hear all those "N" words with the great "nn" sound?

Ribbit: No!

Buddy: Right! "No" is an "N" word.

Ribbit: Ugh!

Buddy: Now, see if you can hear some others, Ribbit. Once upon a time, there were nine naughty noodles.

Ribbit: Nine naughty noodles?

Buddy: Sure. Now these nine naughty noodles lived in a nest. And their names were Ned, Nat, Norman, Nathaniel, Nelly, Nan, Nancy, Norma, and Naomi.

Ribbit: Oh no.

Buddy: Now one day, Nora moved into the neighborhood.

Ribbit: Nora? Another noodle I suppose.

Buddy: (laughs) No. Nora was a nectarine.

Ribbit: Naturally.

Buddy: For Nora, the noodles learned not to be naughty but nice.

Ribbit: Doesn't this story ever come to an end?

Buddy: Ah, you want this story to come to an end?

Ribbit: I sure do.

Buddy: O.K. One day, Nora and the noodles went for a walk and found a great huge letter "N" carved at a stone.

Ribbit: So?

Buddy: So (giggles) you wanted the story to come to an end.

Ribbit: Oh no, no, no, no.
