Story[]
It is sunset, and L thinks she's going to be late. S, N, A, and I came to wonder. L says she promises three tired letters to sing them a lullaby when the sun goes down. So, A joins with I, forming digraph AI, however they don't have a lot of time to wait, so the following words are uttered or heard.

N
AI
L
, snail!
Then, a snail appears, and AI think it's slow!

- HAIL - The weather changes to hail, where small lumps of ice start falling from off-screen into the boat before reverting back to normal.
- NAIL - "Not another one!" cried N after another nail pops in.
- PAIN - P, AI and N are disguised in "pain", as if they received damage.
- SAIL - AI, H, L, N, P, S and W hop on another ship, but that ship also gets a leak.
