00:00Big Elmo Fun!
00:14Oh, hi!
00:16Hello.
00:17Guess what?
00:18Elmo brushed his teeth, made his bed, and had a really,
00:23really good super breakfast.
00:25And now Elmo's ready for fun.
00:27Come on!
00:28Yay!
00:29Elmo's ready to run, ready to play, ready to go.
00:34Elmo's up with the sun, ready to stay, on with the show.
00:39There's always something new and fascinating to do.
00:44Look in the book, learn how to cook, see how much you grew.
00:48Elmo's starting the day, ready to find, more to explore.
00:53If it's sunny or grey, never you mind, open up the door.
00:58There's so much to do and see, that's why Elmo's happy to be.
01:03Ready to run, ready to play, ready for fun.
01:06What do you say?
01:08Let's go!
01:09Let's go!
01:14There.
01:15Oh, look, look, look, look!
01:17Look what Elmo's got.
01:18It's called a growth chart.
01:21It's for measuring how tall you are.
01:23Look, see, see, Elmo is this tall.
01:26Hmm?
01:27But Elmo wonders what it feels like to be even taller.
01:31Mock you, Mock!
01:32Oh, hi, chicken!
01:33Mock, mock, mock, mock, mock, mock, mock, mock, mock!
01:35Oh, chicken can help Elmo feel taller?
01:37Mock!
01:38Well, how can chicken help?
01:40Mock!
01:41Chicken thinks Elmo looks taller now.
01:42Mock, mock, mock, mock, mock, mock!
01:43Well, that's for me.
01:45Elmo doesn't feel taller.
01:46Mock, mock!
01:47Mock!
01:48No, Elmo just feels like he's got a chicken on his head.
01:49Mock, mock, mock, mack, mock, mock!
01:51Mock, mock, mock, mack!
01:52Oh, that's OK, chicken.
01:53You are only trying to help.
01:54What?
01:55Mock!
01:56Ma-Ma?
01:57No, Elmo just feels like he's got a chicken on his head.
02:00Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma-Ma!
02:04Oh, that's okay, Chicken.
02:06You were only trying to help.
02:07But...
02:09Elmo still wonders what it's like to be taller.
02:13Well, it sounds like it might be fun.
02:18Oh, boy, I can't wait to see. I can't wait to see.
02:20Okay, okay.
02:21All right, hold on.
02:22There we go. Take a look.
02:31Oh, baby! I guess I'm not such a wee little bell anymore, am I?
02:37Way to grow! Way to grow!
02:40Hey, welcome to Sesame Street!
02:43Hey! Check it out!
02:46You know what that is?
02:48It's a growth chart!
02:50Yeah, it measures how tall we are.
02:53And it shows how much we've grown.
02:55Yep, you're right. Now, you see that mark right there?
02:58It shows us how much Baby Bear has grown from the last time we measured,
03:02and the time before that.
03:04Well, which one of these is Elmo's line?
03:07Oh, buddy, this would be you right here, the red line with the E for Elmo.
03:11Wow! Elmo used to be that short?
03:13Yeah, and look how much you've grown, buddy.
03:15Wow, cool!
03:17Yeah, and I was always right behind you, Elmo, every single time.
03:22So, hey, buddy. You ready to see how tall you are now?
03:24Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, boy, oh, boy. Excuse Elmo, baby.
03:27Yeah, yeah, yeah. All right, all right.
03:29Okay, where, where, where? Right here?
03:30Stand up nice and straight.
03:31Nice and straight.
03:32You ready?
03:33Okay, here we go. You ready?
03:35Mm-hmm.
03:36And, ah, there we are.
03:38Oh, Elmo, what is he? Uh, oh, oh, that's it?
03:42But that's not, that's not much taller than last time.
03:45Well, buddy, sometimes we grow a lot, and sometimes we grow a little.
03:48Hey, Abby, your turn.
03:50Oh, boy, oh, boy, I can't wait. Excuse me, Elmo.
03:53That's so great!
03:55Okay, you ready?
03:57All right.
03:58Okay.
03:59And, ah, wait, wait.
04:00Straighten up.
04:01There we go. Ready?
04:02Yeah.
04:03Actually, I'll get over here.
04:05Uh-huh.
04:06And, there you go.
04:08Okay.
04:09Wow, look! I'm so much taller than last time!
04:13You really grew, Abby!
04:15Yeah, you're even taller than Elmo!
04:17But, but, Elmo's always been taller than Abby.
04:20This must be a mistake.
04:22Abby, stand back to back to Elmo, okay?
04:24Okay, and no tippy-tails.
04:26I won't.
04:27Okay.
04:28Okay.
04:29What do you think now, Chris?
04:30Uh, well, let me see.
04:32Uh, okay, uh, well, yeah, it looks like Abby is taller than Elmo.
04:37Yeah, yeah.
04:38Yeah, she is.
04:39No doubt about that.
04:40Yeah, she's taller.
04:41Mm-hmm, taller.
04:42My mommy did say I had a growth spurt.
04:44Uh-oh, spurt, Abby.
04:46Yeah, growth spurt.
04:47It means you grew a lot in a little bit of time.
04:49Well, Elmo didn't spurt at all.
04:52And now, Elmo's the shortest.
04:55Well, Chris hasn't measured me yet, but, uh...
04:57But tell him he's taller.
04:58Elmo can tell.
04:59Mm-hmm.
05:00Elmo's the shortest.
05:01Ah, don't worry, Elmo.
05:03Everyone grows a little differently.
05:05But Elmo really wants to be taller.
05:07Oh, and I know you will be.
05:09Someday.
05:10But, but, Chris, Elmo wants to be taller now.
05:13How can Elmo make himself taller?
05:16Elmo...
05:17You...
05:18You really can't.
05:19Well, maybe Elmo can.
05:20Be right back.
05:21Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:25Now Elmo's taller.
05:27Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:28Whoa.
05:29Nice wig.
05:31Okay, that is some seriously tall hair.
05:34Excuse me.
05:35Oh, yeah, sure.
05:36Um, let's see.
05:37Yeah.
05:38Whoa, whoa.
05:39Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:41See?
05:42It makes Elmo taller.
05:43Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:44Okay, Elmo.
05:45Having the big hair does not make you taller, buddy.
05:48No?
05:49Mm-mm.
05:50See, because if you remove the wig, you're still the same.
05:52Ha, ha, ha, ha.
05:54Wait a minute.
05:55Mmm.
05:56You're taller without the wig.
05:58Elmo told you.
05:59Ha, ha, ha.
06:00How did you do that?
06:01What happened?
06:02Oh, you spurted, Elmo.
06:04Yeah.
06:05No, no, no.
06:06There has to be a reason.
06:07Oh, don't look at Elmo's feet.
06:08Ah, that explains it.
06:10Mmm.
06:11High heels.
06:13Surprising.
06:14Yet, though he's stylish.
06:15Yeah.
06:16No wonder you're taller.
06:17Yeah, and all the joke was a quick trip through Mommy's closet.
06:20Uh, hey, Elmo.
06:21Mm-hmm.
06:22Points for creativity, but high heels don't count either.
06:25Yeah, you're still the same height, but...
06:27But, Chris, Elmo really wants to be taller.
06:29Elmo, listen to me.
06:31You're going to grow very soon in your own time, okay?
06:35Don't rush it.
06:36Yeah.
06:37Hey, Telly, want to get measured?
06:38Oh, yeah.
06:39My turn.
06:40I almost forgot.
06:41Step way up, buddy.
06:42Awesome.
06:43Okay, let's see.
06:44Ah.
06:45Oi.
06:46Try again.
06:47Ah.
06:48Alrighty.
06:49You got it?
06:50Oh, wait.
06:51Where's Telly?
06:52Elmo?
06:53Hmm?
06:54Are you okay?
06:55No, Larry.
06:56Elmo doesn't want to be the shortest.
06:59It's not so bad.
07:01I've always been the shortest, and...
07:03Well, I didn't mind it.
07:04But, Elmo wants to be tall, Abby.
07:06Elmo wishes there was a way to grow fast.
07:09Oh.
07:10Hey!
07:11Abby get great wishes, right?
07:13Well, that is what we fairies do.
07:15Well, okay, Abby, do a magic spell to make Elmo grow faster?
07:20Oh, I don't know.
07:21Oh, please, please, please, Abby.
07:23Elmo really, really wants to grow tall.
07:25Please, please, please, please, please.
07:26Well, if it's that important to you, well, then I'll give it a try.
07:30Oh, of course.
07:31Of course.
07:32Thank you, Abby.
07:33Oh, okay.
07:34Oh, yeah.
07:35Alright.
07:36Sure thing.
07:37I mean, what could possibly go wrong?
07:39Ha!
07:40Alright.
07:41I got it.
07:42Grow, grow, grow.
07:43Up you go!
07:45You were supporting, Abby!
07:48Yeah, thank you, Abby!
07:49Elmo grow, Elmo grow!
07:51Check it out, Telly!
07:52Yep, you're still the tallest.
07:55Not anymore.
07:56Hey!
07:57Elmo grow.
07:58Measure Elmo again, Chris.
08:00Elmo's taller, right?
08:02It's true!
08:03You did grow!
08:04I mean, no heels, no tippy toes!
08:07Abby did a magic spell.
08:09Abby, little girl, you've got to stop doing these spells
08:14that are messing with the laws of nature!
08:16Mm-hmm.
08:17Something always goes wrong.
08:19But Elmo was so sad, and he really wanted to grow.
08:23But he's only three and a half, and look how tall he is!
08:26Ah!
08:27Elmo grew even taller.
08:29That's not supposed to happen.
08:32I got a bad feeling about this.
08:35Here, Elmo goes again.
08:37Whee!
08:38Whoa, cool!
08:42Yeah, baby!
08:44My magic spell is out of control!
08:47You think?
08:48Look!
08:49It is a giant monster!
08:51Wow, Elmo's so tall now!
08:54Ooh, Elmo's even taller than the buildings!
08:57Uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, don't worry about it, buddy.
08:59We're gonna get you back to normal.
09:01Yeah, yeah, I'm sure I can undo this spell.
09:03No, no, but Elmo doesn't want Abby to undo it.
09:06Elmo loves being tall.
09:08Yes, but, buddy, you're just too tall!
09:11Yeah, like, way, way, way too tall!
09:14No way!
09:15Elmo's been short all his life!
09:17Now, Elmo can finally be tall!
09:19Elmo!
09:20Hey, pal!
09:21You gotta let Abby reverse the spell, okay?
09:23No!
09:24Elmo's putting his foot down!
09:26Whoa!
09:27Whoa, whoa, whoa!
09:28Abby!
09:29Huh?
09:30You gotta reverse the spell!
09:31Fast!
09:32All right, I'm on it!
09:33Okay!
09:34Shrink, shrink, shrink, and a wink!
09:40What happened?
09:41He's still gigantic!
09:42Oh, ha!
09:43Shrink, shrink, shrink, and a wink!
09:47Nothing!
09:49I better call my mommy!
09:53Oh, mommy?
09:54Yeah, mommy, I made Elmo really, really tall,
09:57and now I can't get him short again!
09:59Uh-huh, uh-huh.
10:01Okay, mommy.
10:03Thanks!
10:06Well, what does she say?
10:07Well, she says that he's got to want to go back to his normal size!
10:12Yeah, but how do we get him to want to be short again?
10:15Maybe we can convince him that being enormous is not a good idea!
10:18How do we do that?
10:20Maybe we just need to show him all the things that he won't be able to do,
10:23all the things he'll miss out on by being so humongously tall!
10:27Uh-huh!
10:28Uh-huh!
10:29I catch your drift, my friend!
10:30Leave it to me!
10:31Uh-huh!
10:32Hey, everybody!
10:33Who's up for a wowsing game of jump-wope?
10:38Oh!
10:39Sounds like fun!
10:40Yes, it does!
10:41Yeah!
10:42How about you, Elmo?
10:43Well, sure!
10:44Elmo likes jumping rope!
10:46Okay, great!
10:47Well, Telly and I will turn the rope, and you jump in, okay?
10:51Okay!
10:52Here you go, Telly!
10:53You take that in!
10:54Okay!
10:55Oh, waitie!
10:56Oh, wait, Elmo!
10:57Jump on in any time, buddy!
11:00Heh-heh!
11:01But, uh, Elmo can't!
11:03Elmo won't fit!
11:04Well, looks like you're too tall for jump rope, buddy!
11:08Sorry!
11:09But, but, but, but Elmo can, Elmo can still jump without a rope!
11:13Like this!
11:14Jump!
11:15Jump!
11:16Jump!
11:17Jump!
11:18Ah!
11:19No!
11:20Why jumping?
11:21How about jumping?
11:22This mouth, dude, is going to destroy the city!
11:26Why do you keep doing that with your mouth?
11:28I don't know.
11:29I saw it in a movie.
11:30Seemed like the thing to do.
11:31There's gotta be something else we can try!
11:34Don't worry!
11:36I got an idea!
11:37Um, hey!
11:38How would you all like to play hide-and-seek?
11:42Huh?
11:43Yeah!
11:44Yeah!
11:45Hey, Elmo!
11:46Wanna play?
11:47Yeah!
11:48Hide-and-seek is Elmo's all-time favorite game!
11:51All right, then!
11:52You all go hide, and I'll seek!
11:56Okay!
11:57Okay!
11:58I'm gonna get you!
11:59Ready?
12:00Okay!
12:01One!
12:02Two!
12:03Three!
12:04Four!
12:05Five!
12:06Six!
12:07Seven!
12:08Eight!
12:09Nine!
12:10Ten!
12:11Ready or not, here I come!
12:13Oh!
12:14Found you, Elmo!
12:15You're behind the table!
12:16Aw, no fair!
12:17There was no good place for Elmo to hide!
12:20Yep!
12:21It's gotta be tough finding a hiding spot when you're that tall!
12:24I guess this isn't the game for you!
12:26No!
12:27No!
12:28Elmo loves hide-and-seek!
12:29Gee!
12:30Elmo can't play hide-and-seek or jump rope!
12:33Elmo can't do a lot of things when he's this size!
12:37I think he's starting to get the picture!
12:39Yeah!
12:40Yeah!
12:41And I have one more idea that just might help him decide, okay?
12:43Oh!
12:44Hey!
12:45Guys!
12:46After all this excitement, I think we could use a snack, right?
12:49Oh!
12:50Yeah!
12:51Absolutely!
12:52Oh!
12:53Yeah!
12:54Absolutely!
12:55Yeah!
12:56Yeah!
12:57Yeah!
12:58Absolutely!
12:59Yeah!
13:00Elmo's favorite!
13:01Oh!
13:02Oh!
13:03After you, Elmo!
13:04Okay!
13:05Oh!
13:06Oh!
13:07Oh!
13:08Oh!
13:09Oh!
13:10Oh!
13:11Oh!
13:12Oh!
13:13Oh!
13:14Oh!
13:15What's the matter, buddy?
13:16Yeah, that's true!
13:17But...
13:18Elmo loves eating in Hoopers!
13:20And if Elmo's this tall, Elmo can never eat in Hoopers again!
13:25I guess not!
13:27Boy...
13:28This makes Elmo really sad.
13:31Maybe...
13:32Maybe Elmo's too tall!
13:34I think you're right, buddy.
13:36Boy...
13:37Elmo could really use a thought right now.
13:39But Elmo's too tall for that too!
13:42Nobodies arms can reach!
13:44Yeah, Elmo really thought he wanted to be tall, but now Elmo wishes he didn't want to grow at all.
13:54But Elmo, growing taller is a part of growing up, and it's great.
13:58It just takes time.
13:59Just be patient, okay?
14:00You're going to grow a little bit, and then a little bit, and a little bit more, and then one day, you're going to be all grown up.
14:06Chris, Elmo wants to go back to Elmo's normal size and wait until Elmo grows taller, but not too tall.
14:13Oh, well, okay then, buddy.
14:15Hey, Abby, guys, come on.
14:17Abby, Elmo wants to refer to the spell.
14:18Come on out.
14:19Come on out.
14:19All right.
14:21Okay then.
14:23Well, it's about time.
14:25Are you ready?
14:27Ready, Abby?
14:28Okay.
14:29Shrink, shrink, shrink, and I'll wait.
14:38It went.
14:39Elmo's back to normal, yay!
14:41Yeah!
14:41Boy, it was fun being super-sized, but Elmo likes being Elmo-sized more.
14:49Hey, how about that hug you wanted, huh?
14:51Oh, yes.
14:51Yeah, come here.
14:52Yeah, Chris.
14:53Group hug!
14:54Boy, Elmo may be short, but he loves big hugs.
15:02Now just stay this way, okay?
15:03Wow, that's what Elmo calls a tall story.
15:10Oh, but Elmo's happy to be his small self again.
15:15Small is cool, too.
15:16There are lots of cool small things.
15:20Oh, look, look.
15:20A leaf is small.
15:23Boy, it has a nice wavy shape.
15:26Mm-hmm.
15:27Oh, and a leafy green color.
15:30Sweet!
15:32Oh, look at this.
15:34This is an acorn.
15:36And an acorn is even smaller than a leaf.
15:39And it looks like it's wearing a hat.
15:43Way to be fast and forward, acorn.
15:46There's a butterfly.
15:49Hi, butterfly.
15:50Wow, butterfly is small, too.
15:55Well, you know, Elmo wonders what it's like to be a butterfly.
15:59Oh, sounds like fun to Elmo.
16:01How's the sound of you, butterfly?
16:03Oh, cool!
16:09Oh, hi.
16:10Hi, everybody.
16:10Hey, Lucas.
16:11Hi.
16:11Hi, Eli.
16:13Hi, Mr. Andre.
16:16Hey, Elmo.
16:17Oh, look who's here.
16:19Look, look, look.
16:20Oh, hey.
16:22Welcome to Sesame Street.
16:24We're looking at bugs.
16:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.
16:26Oh, Elmo has his magnifying glass.
16:28Yeah, isn't that cool?
16:29Isn't that cool?
16:29And I've got this great book.
16:33Fascinating Facts About Insects.
16:35It's full of fascinating and interesting facts.
16:38Yes.
16:39Oh, oh, Kelly, let's go and see if we can find some insects.
16:42Insects, yes.
16:43Insects.
16:45Oh, oh.
16:46Kelly, look.
16:47What?
16:48Ants.
16:48Ants are insects.
16:51Yeah.
16:51Oh, there's one, two little ants playing together.
16:56Sweet.
16:56Yeah.
16:57Let's look at them through the magnifying glass.
16:59Oh, OK.
16:59OK.
16:59Here you go, Kelly.
17:01Whoa.
17:01Whoa.
17:02That magnifying glass makes them look a lot bigger.
17:06Yeah.
17:06Oh, does Kelly's book have a fascinating fact about ants?
17:10Well, let's see.
17:11It says here, oh, wow.
17:13What?
17:13Ants never sleep.
17:16Wow.
17:17Wow.
17:18And they don't even look tired.
17:21Fascinating.
17:22Fascinating.
17:23Oh, look.
17:24More bugs, Kelly.
17:25More bugs.
17:26What are they?
17:27What are they?
17:29Those are ladybugs.
17:31Aw.
17:32One, two ladybugs playing together.
17:36Wow.
17:37Yeah.
17:37Here's a fascinating fact about ladybugs.
17:40OK, Kelly.
17:41They smell with their feet.
17:44Fascinating.
17:45Fascinating.
17:46Oh, oh, oh.
17:47Elmo sees another guy.
17:49Whoa.
17:50Hey, Kelly, look, look.
17:52There's a butterfly.
17:54He's beautiful.
17:55Yeah.
17:57Wow.
17:58But where's Butterfly's friend?
18:01His friend?
18:02Yeah, yeah, yeah.
18:03Elmo and Kelly saw two little ants.
18:06And two little, uh, ladybugs.
18:09But there's only one butterfly.
18:12And it's alone.
18:13You're right.
18:15Let's look for another butterfly.
18:17OK.
18:19Yoo-hoo.
18:20Yoo-hoo.
18:21Other butterflies.
18:23Where are you?
18:24Hello.
18:25Hello, butterflies.
18:26Calling all butterflies.
18:28Butterflies, where are you?
18:30Hmm.
18:31Oh, boy.
18:32Kelly, someone doesn't think any other butterflies are around.
18:36Yeah, I don't think so either.
18:37Oh, no.
18:38That little guy has no butterfly friend to play with.
18:42Oh, poor little guy.
18:43Oh, it's terrible.
18:45Is there nothing we can do for this lonely bug?
18:51Well, yes.
18:53Elmo can be a butterfly.
18:55What's that now?
18:55Elmo will pretend to be a butterfly, Kelly.
18:58Then the little butterfly will have a friend to play with.
19:02Great idea!
19:03OK, OK.
19:04Um, let's see.
19:05Oh.
19:05Flutter, flatter, flatter, flatter.
19:07Flutter, flatter, flatter, flatter.
19:08Elmo's a butterfly.
19:09Flutter, flatter, flatter, flatter.
19:10Can't play with Elmo.
19:12Oh.
19:12Oh.
19:13It's not working.
19:14The butterfly's not coming over to play.
19:17Hmm.
19:19I don't think he gets that you're a butterfly, Elmo.
19:22Well, why not, Kelly?
19:23I'm checking the book here.
19:24Ah!
19:25Here's something fascinating.
19:27What, what, what?
19:28It says here that before a butterfly can become a butterfly,
19:32it has to go through a metamorphosis.
19:35A what?
19:37Metamorphosis is a big change.
19:39It says here there are four very different stages
19:43in the life of a butterfly.
19:45But, but, but, but, Kelly, what does that have to do with Elmo?
19:48Well, maybe if you, if you pretend to go through those four stages,
19:52the butterfly will think that you're a butterfly and want to be your friend.
19:56Hey, that's a great idea, Kelly.
19:58Oh, what's the first stage, huh?
19:59Huh?
20:00First, a butterfly starts as a butterfly egg, like this.
20:05A butterfly egg.
20:06Got it.
20:07Elmo will be right back.
20:09Ta-da!
20:10Nice egg costume, Elmo.
20:13Well, thank you, Kelly.
20:14But Elmo's not Elmo anymore.
20:17Elmo's butterfly egg Elmo.
20:18Oh, right, right, right, and, and, and look, butterfly egg Elmo, it's working.
20:24Oh, yay!
20:25Yeah, yeah, the butterfly is looking right at you.
20:28Oh, not anymore.
20:30Oh, quick, Kelly, what's the second stage?
20:33You need to pretend to be a caterpillar, like, like, like this.
20:39A caterpillar?
20:40Yep.
20:41The butterfly starts as an egg, and when the egg hatches, a caterpillar comes out.
20:48Caterpillar, right.
20:49Elmo will be right back.
20:54Elmo's a caterpillar.
20:57How did you do that?
20:59Oh, Elmo's mommy helped.
21:02Look, look, it's working.
21:05The butterfly is flying right to you.
21:07Is he ready to be your friend?
21:10Oh, no, not yet.
21:12What's the third stage, Kelly?
21:14See, after the egg hatches into a caterpillar, it grows and sheds its skin, and when it does
21:21it for the last time, it forms a chrysalis.
21:25Chrysalis what now?
21:26No, no, not Chris.
21:28Chrysalis.
21:29Like this.
21:30Oh, it looks like a tiny sleeping bag.
21:33Yeah, it does.
21:35Okay, Kelly, be right back.
21:41Elmo's a chrysalis.
21:44Hey, look, it's working.
21:46It's working.
21:47The butterfly is flying all around you.
21:49Yeah, yeah, yeah.
21:51Uh-oh, but the butterfly isn't ready to be Elmo's friend yet.
21:56That's because you need to go through the fourth stage.
21:59So what's that, Kelly?
22:00That's when inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar turns into a butterfly.
22:06Oh, Elmo thought that would come next.
22:08It's me.
22:14Wow.
22:16Ta-da!
22:17Elmo is Elmo's butterfly.
22:20Ha, ha, ha, ha.
22:21Wow, Elmo, you really do look like a butterfly.
22:24Thank you, Kelly.
22:26And look, look, it's working.
22:28I think it's working.
22:30Yes, the butterfly wants to be your friend.
22:34Hello, butterfly.
22:36Elmo, you did it.
22:38The butterfly's not lonely anymore.
22:40He's got a new friend.
22:42And Elmo's got a new friend, too.
22:45Come on, little butterfly.
22:47Let's be butterflies together.
22:49Oh, you too.
22:50Flap, flutter, and fly with us.
22:53Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
22:59Let's flap our wings and fly together, little butterfly friend.
23:09Flutter through the sky together, little butterfly friend.
23:15Flutter through the sky together, little butterfly friend.
23:17We can fly from here to there.
23:22We can stop and smell our rose.
23:27We can flutter up and down.
23:33You can land on Elmo's nose.
23:38Oh, hello.
23:40Let's flap our wings and go together, little butterfly.
23:45Butterfly friend.
23:46Butterfly friend.
23:49Flying high and low together, little butterfly friend.
23:58As free as a breeze on a sunny day, we're butterflying all the way.
24:07Let's flap our wings and fly.
24:09Let's flap our wings and fly.
24:10Let's flap our wings and fly.
24:11Yeah.
24:12Yeah.
24:14Little butterfly friend.
24:19Little butterfly friend.
24:21You're Elmo's friend.
24:22You're Elmo's friend.
24:23That tickles.
24:24Oh, boy.
24:25Oh, great fluttering, little butterfly.
24:28Oh, and you too.
24:29I think your little butterfly friend is all fluttered out, Elmo.
24:30Yeah, Elmo too.
24:31Oh, maybe we need a butterfly snack.
24:32Yeah.
24:33Come on, little butterfly friend.
24:34Come on.
24:35Come on, Danny.
24:36Come on Chris, Chris!
24:37Hey Chris!
24:38Hey Chris!
24:39I think your little butterfly friend is all fluttered out, Elmo.
24:51Yeah, Elmo too.
24:52Maybe we need a butterfly snack.
24:55Come on, little butterfly friend.
24:57Come on, Telly.
24:58Come on.
24:59Chris, Chris.
25:00Hey, guys.
25:01Hey, Chris.
25:02Hi, Chris.
25:03Hey, Telly.
25:04Elmo?
25:05No.
25:06Butterfly.
25:07You noticed.
25:09This is Elmo's butterfly friend.
25:11Say hello to Chris, butterfly.
25:13Hello.
25:14Hey, hey.
25:15Did he just land on my head?
25:17Yep.
25:18Oh, okay.
25:20Oh, okay.
25:21What can I do for you guys?
25:23Well, Elmo and his butterfly friend are hungry.
25:26Does Chris have any butterfly food, please?
25:29Wow.
25:30That's a new one.
25:31I honestly have no idea what butterflies eat.
25:34Well, it says right here that they don't eat.
25:37How's that?
25:38It's a fascinating fact.
25:40Butterflies don't eat.
25:42They drink.
25:43What do they drink, Telly?
25:45They usually drink nectar from flowers, but they can also drink the juice from a fruit.
25:53Oh.
25:54You like fruit juice, butterfly?
25:57Oh, guess what?
25:58Elmo likes fruit juice, too.
26:00Oh, Elmo and his butterfly friend have a lot in common.
26:04Hey, Elmo.
26:05You are in luck because I just so happen to have these delicious orange slices for you and
26:10your buddy.
26:11Let's see if you're a little butterfly friend.
26:12I could like that.
26:13Can Elmo have one?
26:14There you go.
26:16He's drinking.
26:17Look at that.
26:18And he's using his proboscis.
26:21A proboscis?
26:22Proboscis.
26:23It's a curly little thingy that unrolls and becomes like a straw that he drinks through.
26:29Fascinating.
26:30Oh, drink up, little butterfly friend.
26:33Oh, Elmo will drink up, too.
26:35Oh, thanks for the oranges, Chris.
26:39You're welcome, Elmo.
26:40Now what are you and your butterfly friend going to do?
26:43Well, now butterfly Elmo wants to draw a picture of his butterfly friend.
26:48Oh, hey.
26:49I have just the thing.
26:50I have some paper and some crayons, eh?
26:53Oh, good, good.
26:54There you go, buddy.
26:55Boy, Chris has everything today.
26:57Yeah.
26:58Oh, thanks, Chris.
26:59No problem.
27:00Oh, come on, Charlie.
27:01Let's go.
27:02Oh, you too, butterfly friend.
27:06Hey, Elmo.
27:07Huh?
27:08The book says that's a monarch butterfly.
27:11Wow, a monarch?
27:12Yeah, yeah.
27:13That's what you call a butterfly with orange wings with black lines and white spots.
27:19Monarch butterflies.
27:21Cool.
27:22Well, Elmo's best friends with a monarch butterfly.
27:25Oh, look, look, look.
27:30Hey, Elmo.
27:31Huh?
27:32I think you liked your picture.
27:33Oh, yeah.
27:34Yay, little butterfly friend.
27:36Oh, you are the most special butterfly in the whole world.
27:43Elmo bets there is no other butterfly quite like you.
27:49Uh, except maybe that one.
27:51Hey, it's another monarch.
27:52Uh, oh, and that one.
27:55And that one.
27:56And that one.
27:57And that one.
27:58And that one.
27:59I wonder what's going on here.
28:01Well, maybe Elmo's butterfly friend is having a butterfly party.
28:06Yay!
28:07Hmm, I don't think so, Elmo.
28:10Well, then why are those little butterflies here?
28:13It says here that monarch butterflies get together to migrate.
28:18Migrate?
28:19What's that?
28:20Uh, migrate means they move because of the change in seasons.
28:24Yeah, it's just too cold here in the winter.
28:26Whoa!
28:27Whoa!
28:28Whoa!
28:29Whoa!
28:30Whoa!
28:31There they go!
28:32But Elmo's butterfly friend wouldn't leave Elmo.
28:35We're best friends.
28:37Right, butterfly friend?
28:38Oh.
28:39Oh, no.
28:40But, but...
28:41Oh, that was Elmo's butterfly friend.
28:44Oh, no.
28:45I'm sorry, buddy.
28:46But, but...
28:47He didn't even say goodbye!
28:48He forgot all about Elmo.
28:49Maybe not!
28:50Look!
28:51He came back to say goodbye to you!
28:53Wow!
28:54Goodbye, little butterfly friend.
28:55And don't worry.
28:56Elmo understands.
28:57Elmo?
28:58Huh?
28:59Huh?
29:00Huh?
29:01Huh?

30:35Okay.
30:36You know?
30:37Bend down. It's all in the wrist, Elmo. You want to try?
30:41Oh, yeah. Elmo would love to.
30:43Here you go. Now toss the pizza dough.
30:45Toss the pizza dough.
30:46Oh, yes.
30:47The pizza dough goes up.
30:49Oh.
30:50Hey.
30:50Oh, well, it's way up.
30:52The way to go.
30:53Oh, boy.
30:54Hey, where you going?
30:57Hey, you caught it. Good catch, Elmo.
31:01I'm sorry, Chef.
31:02Oh, no, no, no. That's okay.
31:05It takes practice to be a chef.
31:07You can start by being a chef's assistant.
31:10A chef's assistant?
31:12But it sounds like fun.
31:15That's it, Elmo.
31:17One lunch to go.
31:18Oh, good.
31:20Oh, hey.
31:21Welcome to Sesame Street.
31:24Uh, Alan?

33:29A stew made up entirely of ingredients, which start with the letter...
33:33P.
33:34And you must do it...
33:35Before time runs out!
33:38Begin!

34:09Popcorn!
34:10Popcorn!
34:11Popcorn!
34:12Look at that!
34:13Look at that!
34:14And although you've acquired a variety of intriguing ingredients, they don't look much like a stew!
34:19Oh, he's right!
34:20Yeah!
34:21We need the glue that holds this stew together!
34:24Glue?
34:25That doesn't start with P!
34:26No!
34:27But porridge does!
34:29It does!
34:30Oh!
34:31She's tight!
34:32That's it!
34:33It is!
34:34But it is!

34:55They all start with the letter P!
34:57Now for the taste.
35:09Featured!
35:10which by the way starts with the letter P now for my cast iron cook hmm plums
35:25plantains pears and pomegranates and a blended papaya base all fruits that
35:31start with the letter P ingenious and the flavor
35:40superb which means a clear winner of the first competition is what's this I can
36:00only guess that this hat must have fallen in the pot by accident because the word
36:04hat starts with the letter H not with the letter P yeah well however got in there
36:10it was in there which means they didn't make a piece do they made a P and H
36:15stew unfortunately correct which means round one worth one point improbably goes
36:22to Allen from Hooper's store
36:27wow you're really into this huh are you kidding we won the first round we could win this whole thing
36:35competition number two you must each prepare a unique and delectable apple pie
36:45actually my apple pie is pretty good an apple pie which must be made of exactly eight apples no more no less
36:59I don't think I do and you must do so before time runs out
37:07begin
37:09one two three
