Sail is the fourteenth episode of the third series of Alphablocks. It is the 66th episode overall.
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.
s-n-ai-l, SNAIL!
Then, a snail appears, and AI think it's slow!
s-ai-l, SAIL!
A sailboat appears and they see H, P, and W swimming. L suggests them to listen to the lullaby. H, P, and W hop aboard.
n-ai-l, NAIL!
A nail pops out of the boat, causing a leak. AI hopes to not fail at all.
The competency the episode uses is: _AI_ (with the underscores representing a different letter).
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.
WAIL - W, AI and L cry in vain.
PAIL (star word) - A pail covers the leak and the snail's shell can move again. L spots land. Then she sings B, E, and D a lullaby.
