So, Rem had gotten past the Alphabet and she was now on the different sounds that could be made when combining letters.

"Open that book there to the first page," she said to the Hun.

Attila obeyed, practicing meekness.

He had once been told that the meek would inherit the earth and wondered idly if it might be true as he held the page open with sword and bow calloused fingers.

"I am ready," he said.

On the page was a red wagon, and the facing page had a happy Springer Spaneil dog. It also had a word, "SPOT."

Attila looked at them both. Wagons he understood, likewise dogs. But he had never seen a red wagon nor a dog with such a - grin. It looked rabid.

"That is an S," he said. "And a P and an O and a T."

Rem nodded.

"What sounds do they make?" she asked.
