the man with the yellow hat tells george that "m" is the 13th letter in the alphabet. since the whole alphabet has 26 letters, he says, the letter "m" (the 13th letter), it is just half of it. now since they are half way through the alphabet, he gives george a pad of paper and a pencil with which to write down some words made from the first half of the alphabet. george writes words out of the letters and shows it to his friend. the man with the yellow hat is quite impressed with the words; ball, milk, cake, ham, jam, egg, lime, feed and kid, but gets confused at the gibberish words dalg, glidj and blimlimlim and asks george what on earth they mean. he tells george that there are no such words and that any letters don't make just any kind of words and they continue to look at new letters.
