A for Apple

Or, perhaps an Ant. That is how it used to be when I was learning these things.  Apparently, it has changed. When Daivik and me were walking past our park, a supermarket van crossed us. The van had a huge “E”, the logo for the chain Edeka, written on it. Daivik said, “Appa, see, that is the Edeka van.” “How do you know?”, I asked. “There is an E written”, he said, adding, “E is for Edeka”. This sounded somewhat odd to me.  I was taught in school that E is for Elephant. I asked him, “E is for Edeka, Daivik?” “Yes Appa”, he replied with an unnerving conviction. “Like A is for Aldi”.
