AEsop felt it was high time to spend a few hours writing some more fables. The first fable was about a ship that got blown off course when a sudden gust of wind hit it abeam. The crew had to work really hard to keep the boat afloat and when the wind eased the captain checked all the cargo. To his delight all 24 items, labelled alpha to omega were present and correct. "No", thought Aesop, "that's a rubbish fable - there's no moral message in it." So he screwed it all up and started again. (That is why this is the very first time you've read this particular Aesop's fable!)
