Frogwart said, "E's should be easy, but I think they are tricky. Sometimes they're silent! How can there be letters that don't make a sound?

"I can say, 'eels seem creepy' and 'eat your peas, dear' and 'I let my pet get wet'. I can handle candle and mantle and finder and kinder. It's words like mule and mile and mole and male that bother me. I can't hear the e's but I know they're there."
