Definition: One
Alright class, settle down and listen close to me, We’ve got a little puzzle for you, you see! The dictionary tells us “one,” it’s true, But "ae" has a secret, just for you! Think of ancient letters, long ago they’d gleam, “A” and “E” together, a combined dream! It wasn't always separate, a curious plight, “Ae” was one sound, shining bright! Like in the word "sea," or "eat" you see, That single sound it used to be. Now we write them apart, for clarity’s sake, But its history's fascinating, for goodness sake! So “ae” doesn’t mean one, as the book did say, It represents a sound, from a bygone day. Does that make sense? Any questions you might pose? Let's explore this language, and watch our knowledge grow!
