Henry was smiling. “The answer to the code is right here!” he told them. He sounded excited.

“Where?” Benny sat up straighter and stopped eating.

“Right here in this bowl,” answered Henry, stirring the soup a little with his spoon. The alphabet noodles swirled around and around.

The others stared at Henry. They looked totally confused. What on earth did alphabet soup have to do with the mysterious code?

“When Benny mentioned the number twenty-six,” said Henry, “something just clicked. That’s exactly how many letters are in the alphabet!” Henry paused to look at his brother and sisters, hoping they would understand what he was driving at. Seeing their puzzled expressions, he explained, “It suddenly hit me, what if each number stands for a different letter in the alphabet?”

Henry stood up and went to get a piece of paper and a pencil. When he sat down again, he printed the alphabet. Then under each letter, he carefully printed a number.
