The World of Ee
"Well well" says the man, leans back, and tells you about the village.
"Our fine village is called Xee. It is quite small, but I believe it is the best village in the whole world! We have the town of Wee close by."
"Sorry, but, Wee?" you ask.
"But of course!" the man exclaims. "Which letter comes before x?"
"Well... why does that matter?" you ask, confused.
"Matter, MATTER? Everyone knows that the villages and towns are arranged according to the alphabet, so that we have Wee and Yee closest. I ain't stupid if you thought that."
"N...no, nothing of the sort. I'm just not used to this all."
By now the man is pretty upset, perhaps thinking that you are intimidating him.
"You are a foreigner, that's true, but you seem to know nothing at all about anything, get out of my house, I've had enough!"
