00:01Hi, I'm Murray from Sesame Street, and I'm looking for the word on the street.
00:06What's the word on the street?
00:08Subtraction.
00:09What does the word subtraction mean?
00:11It means to take away from one number.
00:13When you, like, have a group of things, and then you take some of those things away,
00:18and that's what's left over in that group.
00:21That's subtraction?
00:22Mm-hmm.
00:23Keep listening for the word subtraction today on Sesame Street.
00:27Subtraction.
00:28That's the word on the street.
00:53What now?
00:55Can you tell me how to get to the golden play?
01:00Are we kids A-OK?
01:03Friendly neighbors there, that's where we meet.
01:07Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?

01:29Oh, yeah.
01:30All righty, let's see.
01:31Now, who ordered the bird seed bread sticks?
01:35I thought that was maybe me.
01:38There you go, big bird.
01:39There you go.
01:40Okay, I'll put that right there.
01:41And everyone's good.
01:42Oh, hey.
01:43Hi.
01:43Welcome to Sesame Street.
01:44Hi there.
01:45Hola.
01:47Looks like you just caught us in time for snack time.
01:49Everyone's having a little snack right now.
01:52Let's see.
01:52Oh, Rosita.
01:53What fruit can I get here?
01:55Oh, una manzana, por favor.
01:57Oh, one apple coming right here.
02:00Can I have a banana, please?
02:02Oh, you just said the magic word.
02:04Hey, hey, hey.
02:05Oh.
02:06What's going on, Chris?
02:07I don't know.
02:08Hey.
02:09What?
02:11I don't know.
02:14Did somebody say that?
02:18Magic.
02:19Whoa.
02:21Uh, I did.
02:22Who are you?
02:24Ladies and gentlemen, introducing Max, the magician.
02:30Whoa.
02:31A magician?
02:33Now, who wants to see some real magic?
02:37Me.
02:38I love magic.
02:39I love magic.
02:40I love magic.
02:40I love magic.
02:40I love magic.
02:40I love magic.
02:41I love magic.
02:41Then prepare to be amazed.
02:44Oh, no, no, no.
02:48Oh, no, no, no.
02:50It's running out of time.
03:01As you can see, I hold in my hands these two scars.
03:06Count them with me.
03:07You two.
03:09One, two.
03:12And now, for my first trick, I, Max the Magician, will turn these two ordinary scarves into three scarves right
03:23before your eyes.
03:27I wonder how he'll do it.
03:36Behold! I have taken one more scarf, and now, what was two scarves has become three scarves!
03:45One, two, three!
03:50Incredible!
03:52Thank you, thank you very much. Thank you, it's exhausting.
03:56Did you see that?
03:58He, he, he, he had two scarves, and then he had three!
04:03Yeah, Elmo can't believe it! How did Mr. Max the Magician do that?
04:08Well, a magician never gives away his secrets.
04:11Oh, please, please, please, Elmo really, really, really, really wants to know!
04:15No, no, the secret of the scarves has been in my family for years. My lips are sealed.
04:21Oh, please, we won't tell anyone.
04:24No!
04:25Hey, Chris, Chris, do you know how he did it? Come on.
04:28Uh, I have an idea, but I don't want to say anything.
04:32Oh, no, no, tell us, tell us!
04:33No, no, no, no, no, I don't want to spoil it! Come on!
04:37Oh, go on, tell everybody. You'll never guess.
04:41Okay, uh, well, it was addition, right?
04:44Right, because you had two scarves, and then you added one more to make it three scarves?
04:50Mm-hmm.
04:50You guessed it!
04:51Mm-hmm.
04:52How did you do that?
04:53Uh, well, it's kind of simple, actually. Oh, put it like this.
04:57Take the glasses of milk here. I have two glasses of milk right here.
05:00If I add one more glass of milk, how many do I have?
05:04One.
05:05One.
05:06Two.
05:07Three!
05:07Yes, a magician.
05:09I didn't know you were a magician.
05:11I'm not a magician.
05:13Oh.
05:13But you do know the secrets of a magician.
05:16Hey, look, Max, I'm sorry I spoiled your trick, man.
05:19No matter. I have many other tricks up my sleeves.
05:23Tricks that you'll never be able to figure out.
05:25Oh, can we see, Will? Oh, please, please, please, please, please.
05:28Oh, come on.
05:29Well, all right.
05:30You never disappoint my fans.
05:33Oh, yay!
05:35Oh.
05:37Oh.
05:38Oh, wee.
05:42Wow.
05:42Wow.
05:43Look at that.
05:44Here you see five ordinary playing cards.
05:49Yes.
05:49Whoa.
05:49Don't believe me?
05:50Count them yourselves.
05:52Okay.
05:52You can count two.
05:54Cool.
05:55One.
05:55One.
05:57Two.
05:57Three.
05:59Four.
06:00Five.
06:01There's five cards, Chris.
06:04Five cards all together.
06:06And now I, Max the Magician, will make them all, one by one, magically disappear.
06:13Really?
06:14Right.
06:15Yeah.
06:17Behold, one card has disappeared.
06:22What?
06:23Yes.
06:27One.
06:31One.
06:32Two.
06:33Three.
06:34Four.
06:36Only four, Chris, once disappeared.
06:38Four.
06:38Wait.
06:39But wait, there's more.
06:41Behold again.
06:42Another card has magically disappeared.
06:47Four cards have become three cards.
06:51Three.
06:52One.
06:53Two.
06:55Three.
06:55Three.
06:56One.
06:56He's right, Chris.
06:57Amazing.
06:58But keep beholding.
07:00Okay.
07:05One.
07:08One.
07:09One.
07:10One.
07:10Two.
07:11Two cards.
07:11Yes.
07:12And as crazy and incredible as that is, you've got to keep beholding.
07:16Why?
07:17Because another card has disappeared and two cards become one card.
07:24One.
07:25Let's count it.
07:26Yes.
07:27Let's count it.
07:28One.
07:29One.
07:29One.
07:30Just one card, Chris.
07:32And now you see it.
07:34And now...
07:37You don't.
07:39And one card has become zero cards.
07:44Wow.
07:44Wow.
07:45Incredible.
07:47That was the best magic trick Elmo has ever seen.
07:51Incredible.
07:52Bravo.
07:53Bravo.
07:54Now, Max, magician, you had five cards and now you have zero.
07:59How did you ever do it?
08:02Uh-uh, now, bird.
08:03You know that I can't ever tell you the secrets behind my magic.
08:07Magician's code of honor.
08:08Oh, please, please.
08:10Please, please.
08:10I'm sorry.
08:10Never.
08:12Well, maybe we can figure it out.
08:14Well, you can try, but this is truly a trick of great mystery.
08:18Not even your friend over here could figure it out.
08:21Oh.
08:21Am I right?
08:23Well...
08:24Chris, Chris.
08:24Do you know how he did it?
08:26Yeah, tell us, Chris.
08:27Come on, Chris.
08:28Yeah, tell us, Chris.
08:29Okay, you know, I just don't want to spoil it for you guys.
08:31I couldn't do that.
08:32Oh, come on.
08:32No chance of that, because you'll never guess it in a million years.
08:35So, go on, tell us.
08:37Tell us what you think is the secret of the disappearing cards.
08:40Yeah, what is it?
08:41Yeah, yeah, yeah.
08:42Okay, uh, it's subtraction.
08:45Really?
08:45You guessed it.
08:46Yeah.
08:47Again.
08:48Wow.
08:49Gosh, you figured out another trick.
08:50Mm-hmm.
08:52You went to the magician's correspondence school, too, didn't you?
08:55No.
08:55I thought I recognized you.
08:56No, it wouldn't be.
08:57But then how did you know it was a subtraction?
09:00Yeah.
09:01Uh, well, let me give you an example.
09:04If I, oh, wait, I got my straws right here.
09:07See this?
09:07Now, count them.
09:08One, two, three, four, five.
09:13Five straws.
09:14Five straws.
09:14Okay.
09:14Now, if I have all five straws, and I subtract all of them, how many do I have left?
09:21Well, Chris doesn't have any.
09:22Yeah.
09:23Exactly.
09:24No straws.
09:25There's zero straws.
09:25Zero straws.
09:27Mm-hmm.
09:27You made them all disappear at once.
09:29That's a great trick, Chris.
09:32Oh, thank you.
09:33It's almost as great as my disappearing card trick.
09:36Oh, okay, almost.
09:36Are you sure you're not a magician?
09:38Okay, uh, no.
09:40Well, maybe a math magician?
09:42Heh heh.
09:44Well, whatever kind of magician you are, you'll never be able to guess how I do my next trick.
09:49Really?
09:50This trick has stumped audiences all over the world, and no one will ever, ever, ever figure it out.
09:59Oh, jeez.
10:00How about that, Chris?
10:01Eh?
10:02Oh, hello.
10:03Hey.
10:07What?
10:09Whoa.
10:11Oh.
10:11Oh.
10:12Oh.
10:16Oh.
10:17Oh.
10:18Oh.
10:18Oh.
10:18Oh.
10:18Oh.
10:18Oh.
10:18Oh.
10:20Oh.
10:20Look at the yellow feathers.
10:21Oh.
10:22Oh, oh.
10:22Hey, that's me.
10:23That's right.
10:25Now, my friend, as you can see I have here one ordinary piece of rope, wouldn't you say?
10:31Yes, it looks pretty ordinary.
10:32But now I, Max the Magician, will take this one piece of rope and turn it into two pieces of
10:41rope.
10:44Now, my assistant, if you would please take this end of the rope right here.
10:48Okay, I've got it.
10:50Watch carefully as I turn this one piece of rope into two pieces of rope.
10:57Two.
10:57Behold.
11:01Two pieces of rope?
11:03Oh, my goodness.
11:05Two pieces of rope?
11:06That was amazing.
11:08Thank you so much.
11:09Hey, Chris, how did he do that?
11:12Oh, Rosita, I'm not saying anything.
11:14Oh, come on.
11:15Come on.
11:16Oh.
11:17Well, that's right.
11:17He possibly couldn't figure it out because nobody could ever possibly figure this one out.
11:21It is one of the most mysterious and wondrous tricks that I've ever come up with.
11:26See, I think maybe I figured it out.
11:30No, no, no.
11:30No, no.
11:31You possibly couldn't have done it because you're so young.
11:34There's no way.
11:35No, I think I've got it.
11:37Now, if I took one of these breadsticks and then break it in half.
11:44Mm-hmm.
11:44See, one piece becomes one, two pieces.
11:49No.
11:51And that's what you did with the rope, right, Max?
11:54You cut it into two pieces?
11:56That's right.
11:56I divided it.
11:57Gosh, I can't believe that you, a young bird, figured it out.
12:00No one I've ever met has done that before.
12:02Oh, well.
12:03Really?
12:04I just put one and one together, and I didn't mean to ruin your trick either.
12:09Well, that's okay, my feathered friend.
12:10Yeah, yeah, Mr. Master, he just has another trick, right?
12:14Yeah, yeah, yeah.
12:14I'm just a man showing you the street.
12:16Actually, no, that was my very last trick.
12:19Your last trick?
12:20Are you sure?
12:21Yes.
12:22No more tricks up my sleeve.
12:24Look for yourself.
12:28Nope, nothing in there.
12:30Oh.
12:31You guessed the secret of all my tricks.
12:33Nothing like this has ever happened to me before.
12:35Uh, hey, sorry, Max.
12:37Well, there's no need to be sorry.
12:39You've been a great audience, a little too great.
12:42But I like a challenge, for I am Max the Magician,
12:46the greatest magician of all time.
12:49And I'll find new tricks, trickier tricks,
12:54tricks that you've never even dreamed of.
12:57I'll stump you yet, wait and see.
12:59Well, Elmo can't wait.
13:01Me too.
13:02Yeah, and we love your magic tricks.
13:05We do.
13:06Farewell, loyal fans.
13:08It may take years, but I shall be back one day
13:10with a trick that will truly amaze you.
13:12A trick that no one could ever figure out.
13:16Till then.
13:19Wow.
13:22Hey, Mr. Max the Magician!
13:25Where did he go?
13:27That was some trick!
13:30Yeah.
13:31How'd he do that one, Chris?
13:33Yeah, Chris, yeah.
13:34Come tell us.
13:35Huh?
13:35Yeah.
13:36Huh?
13:37Huh?
13:41Subtraction!
13:44Subtraction!
13:46You got one, two, three, four, five kids.
13:51Now, what's the score?
13:52Hey, five kids, take away two kids, see?
13:55How many are left?
13:56That's one, two, three.
13:58So three kids, take away three more.
14:01That leaves zero kids.
14:03That's for sure.
14:04Subtraction!
14:05Try it upside down.
14:07Subtraction!
14:08Now turn it back around.
14:09Subtraction!
14:15I'm looking high.
14:17I'm looking low.
14:19Cause there's a million things that I want to know.
14:22I'm curious.
14:25I'm so curious.
14:30I'm peeking in.
14:32I'm peering out.
14:34I can't wait to find out what it's about.
14:37I'm curious.
14:45I see a fox and I go crazy wondering what's inside.
14:52Behind the lock, behind the door, behind the curtain.
14:56I wonder what they're trying to find.
15:02I'm asking him.
15:03I'm asking her.
15:05Hey, what is this and what is that?
15:07I'm curious.
15:11I'm curious.
15:13I'm so curious.
15:16What's underneath?
15:18And what's behind?
15:20Yeah, I'm so curious.
15:22I'm out of my mind.
15:23I'm curious.
15:26I'm so curious.
15:30I'm curious.
15:59I'm curious.
16:03will make the letter of the day.
16:06The letter C disappear.
16:10Now you see C, now you don't.
16:17Very funny.
16:48Look, it's the letter C.
16:56C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C, circle.
17:19C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C, circle, C.
17:26Hello there.
17:27It is I, your furry acrobat Grover.
17:30I just somersaulted all the way back from China, where I was visiting my friend, Boy Wong.
17:37He is an acrobat too, and he showed me how to do some cute acrobat tricks.
17:42Now, watch me jump through this hoop.
17:47Okay, here we go.
17:52Oh, I think I sprained, I sprained my fur.
18:00And I did not mean to go over the hoop.
18:03I meant to go through the hoop.
18:06Oh, that is a common acrobat mistake.
18:08Let me try again.
18:11Okay.
18:12Here we go.
18:18What?
18:19What happened?
18:20Did I?
18:20No, I didn't.
18:21I did not go through the hoop again.
18:23I went to the side of the hoop.
18:25Just give me one more chance, please.
18:28Okay.
18:28Okay.
18:29This one is for the gipper.
18:32Oh.
18:36Oh.
18:36Oh.
18:37Oh.
18:37Oh.
18:38Oh.
18:38Oh.
18:38Talk about nosedives.
18:40Oh boy.
18:41Oh boy.
18:42And I still did not go through the hoop.
18:46Perhaps I need a smidge more practice.
18:49Yeah.
18:50The more I practice, the better I will get.
18:52And while I am practicing, you can watch this highly informative film.
18:57Hmm.
19:02This is my school in Beijing, China, where I'm learning how to be an acrobat.
19:08My name is Boyang.
19:09My father and my grandfather were also acrobats.
19:18When I first started, I could only stand on one pipe.
19:21But now I stack them up.
19:26There are 30 kids in my school.
19:29They come from all over China to learn how to be acrobats.
19:33There are girls and boys between 8 and 15 years old.
19:37It's very hard to get into my school.
19:39It takes a long time and a lot of practice to learn these tricks.
19:44We practice for 8 hours each day.
19:47Acrobats are a Chinese tradition that has been going on for many, many years.
19:58After we've learned how to do our acts really well, we have shows for an audience.
20:03We put on fancy clothes and makeup.
20:24Many people come to see us.
20:26It's very exciting to be on stage for all of us and to show how much we've learned.
20:34Tonight is the first time I will climb on 5 pipes for an audience.
20:39Speaking of these moment приходily.
20:40We've heard so many big strokes around for a bit.
20:44We can still dance below and see where I will walk along with the entire crossarrows.
20:47And we will walk along with the interviews and now.
20:50We'reprise to walk down with the entire crossarrows.
20:52ZO loses.
20:52The atmosphere is too far.
21:08Hand eyeliner is really scary tobee's eyes.
21:10All my friends came to see me perform, and they like the show a lot.
21:14It's fun to be an acrobat.
21:20Well, I practiced and practiced, and now, once again, I, Acrobat Grover, will jump and
21:27go through the hoop.
21:30Jump.
21:34Ha-ha-ha!
21:35Ta-da!
21:36I did it!
21:37I went through the hoop.
21:39Oh, boy, Wong will be so proud.
21:44Dancing with the flowers, having fun for hours.
21:50Look up to the sky, look down to the ground.
21:55Bounce up and down, and spin all around.
22:02Dancing with the trees, swaying in the breeze.
22:07Sway to the side, to the other side too.
22:12Sway back and forth, let the wind blow you.
22:18Now I'm dancing with the sun.
22:21We're having so much fun.
22:24Reach your arms up high.
22:27Reach your arms down low.
22:29Reach your arms out far.
22:32As far as they go.
22:36Dancing everyone.
22:38離ers over and down,
22:39flowers, trees and sun.
22:44Do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do-do.
22:49Did somebody say magic?
22:52Uh, no, I didn't say anything, Elmo.
22:55Oh, well, that's okay.
22:56Elmo the Magician will still perform a trick for you.
23:01Oh, okay.
23:03And now, Elmo the Magician will show you the number of the day
23:08with these carrots right here.
23:12Okay.
23:12As you can see, there are one, two, three, four, five carrots.
23:20Uh, Elmo?
23:21Huh?
23:21The number of the day isn't five.
23:23It's four.
23:23Well, that's where the magic comes in.
23:28Four Elmo the Magician will make one carrot disappear.
23:39Hey, let's see.
23:41I get it.
23:41You had five carrots, and then you took away one,
23:44so that leaves you with one, two, three, four carrots.
23:52Behold, four carrots for the number of the day.
24:07Five containers
24:11Four.
24:15Four.
24:21Four.
24:25Four.
24:28One, two, three, four.
24:36Four.
24:41Four.
24:44Four.
25:02The number four.
25:04Yup, it's a four, right?
25:07Four!
25:17Every night when I lie in bed.
25:19Oh, nice.
25:20Pictures dancing in my head.
25:22Pictures sleeping.
25:23But, but, what?
25:23Buckle up and we'll fly away.
25:25Whoa, yeah!
25:26We're adventuring.
25:28Every time the bed starts tapping.
25:32Something special's gonna happen.
25:34This is kinda kicky.
25:36My favorite kind of traveling.
25:39Yeah!
25:40Yeah!
25:40We're adventuring.
25:41Come along with Bert and Ernie.
25:45We're gonna take a little journey.
25:49Bert and Ernie's great adventures!
25:56Can you believe it, Bert?
25:57We're out in space.
25:59Exploring alien planets.
26:01Yeah.
26:02But I'm getting kind of hungry, Ernie.
26:03Did we bring any oatmeal?
26:05Of course we did, Bert.
26:06But we're astronauts and all our food comes in squeezy tubes.
26:10Let me get you the oatmeal one.
26:11Oh!
26:13Oh!
26:14Hey, look at this, Bert.
26:16I'm floating!
26:17Ernie, we're in space.
26:18Everything floats.
26:20Uh-huh.
26:23Oops.
26:24Oh!
26:25Look at me, Bert.
26:26I'm swimming in oatmeal.
26:28Ernie, get back in your seat and buckle up.
26:31Hurry!
26:31We're about to land!
26:32Roger, Bert.
26:44Um, I don't think that's how we're supposed to land, Ernie.
26:47Mm-mm.
26:48Now how do we get off?
26:49Well, we'll jump.
26:52Jump?
26:52Not me.
26:53You jump if you want.
26:54Okay, Bert.
26:58Whoa!
26:59Look at that!
27:00Grab on, Bert.
27:14Uh-oh.
27:15What was that?
27:16Gee, must be the locals.
27:18Come out, come out wherever you are.
27:20We're friendly.
27:21Hey, look how cute those little guys are, Bert.
27:26Hmm.
27:27They kind of remind me of somebody.
27:30But are they friendly?
27:32Let's find out.
27:33Greetings, space creatures.
27:35We come from Earth in the spirit of fun.
27:39Gee, I think they want to be friends with us, Bert.
27:41Say hello to them.
27:44I...
27:49Why'd they move away, Ernie?
27:50Huh.
27:51Maybe they don't want to be my friend.
27:53Oh, come on.
27:54Of course they do, Bert.
27:55But maybe they're shy.
27:57Go on.
27:57Say something to them.
28:00Uh...
28:01Uh...
28:03Uh...
28:03Uh...
28:04Uh-uh.
28:04Uh-uh.
28:06Okay.
28:06Sure.
28:08Aw.
28:09Ooh!
28:10Aw!
28:10Come on, Bert.
28:12This is really fun.
28:13Aw.
28:14But I don't know what to say to those space creatures.
28:18Uh...
28:18Hello there, space creatures.
28:21Ooh.
28:22Ha-ha.
28:24You like my socks?
28:25Whee!
28:26Ooh!
28:27What's keeping you, Bert?
28:28Come on.
28:29Uh, look.
28:30Here's a picture of my oatmeal dish.
28:32You fellows like oatmeal?
28:33Huh?
28:34Huh?
28:34Huh?
28:35Ooh!
28:36Uh...
28:38And here's a picture of my favorite pigeon, Bernice.
28:41Oh.
28:42But I don't suppose you care about pigeons either.
28:45Oh!
28:46Ah!
28:47Ah!
28:48Ah!
28:48Ah!
28:48Hey, Bert.
28:49I think the space creatures like pigeons.
28:51I can't believe this!
28:53Ah!
28:54Ah!
28:55Ah!
28:55Ah!
28:55Whoa!
28:56Well...
28:56but where are you taking me?
29:00Oh, look at that.
29:06Ah!
29:07Ah!
29:07Coo-coo!
29:08Ah-ah-ah-ah!
29:09Coo-coo.
29:10Ha-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
29:11What do you know, Ernie?
29:12These space creatures have great taste.
29:14Ah-ah-ah-ah.
29:15Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah-ah!
29:15Coo-coo.
29:16I told you my old buddy Bert was really cool, and if you love pigeons, wait till you see his
29:21pigeon dance.
29:22Go on, Bert. Show it to him.
29:24I think I will.
29:31Smooth moves, huh?
29:38You know, Annie, these space creatures are a lot cooler than I thought, too.
30:03Good night, Bert. Good night, Ernie.
30:10Uh-oh.
30:20No matter what you look like, no matter what your name, no matter the house you live in,
30:27some ways everybody's the same.
30:30You shiver when it's cold out, feel warm when the sun gets hot.
30:36When you're happy, you laugh, and you giggle, when you're sad, you cry a lot, no matter what.
30:46No matter big or tiny, or eyes are brown or blue, no matter the shape of the nose on your
30:54face,
30:54some things are true about you, yeah.
30:57You shiver when it's cold out, feel warm when the sun gets hot.
31:03When you're happy, you laugh, and you giggle, when you're sad, you cry a lot, no matter what.
31:13Skin of brown or yellow, body's short or tall, when it comes to feeling, what your body looks like doesn't
31:23matter at all.
31:26Hair is loose and wavy, or else in rows real tight.
31:32Gold as the pretty, pretty sunshine, or black as the beautiful night still.
31:37You shiver when it's cold out, feel warm when the sun gets hot.
31:42Woo!
31:43When you're happy, you laugh, and you giggle, when you're sad, you cry a lot.
31:49You shiver when it's cold out, feel warm when the sun gets hot.
31:55When you're happy, you laugh, and you giggle, when you're sad, you cry a lot.
32:00And that's true no matter who, no matter what.
32:07Doobity-a-ba-doobity-a-ba-doobie-doo-wah.
32:18No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.
32:30Bene, now you must cooperate.
32:44Bravo!
33:02It's way until...
33:04Yeah!

34:27Ha!
34:41Elmo has a surprise for you today!
34:44A violin surprise!
34:46He had the...
34:47Was that Dorky?
34:51Oh, yeah, Dorky's right.
34:54Elmo will save his surprise for later
34:57because Dorky has a question.
35:00Yeah, what's that, Dorky?
35:02Oh, okay.
35:04How do you hold a violin when you play it?
35:08Oh, good question, Dorky.
35:10Let's ask Mr. Noodle.
35:11Mr. Noodle!
35:12Hey, Shade!
35:14He's gone.
35:16Shade, stop fiddling around
35:18and go up.
35:19Oh, oh, oh!
35:22I, I...
35:34Hi, Mr. Noodle.
35:37Now, Dorothy has a question, Mr. Noodle.
35:40You ready?
35:41Okay.
35:42How do you hold the violin when you play it, Mr. Noodle?
35:45You know how, Mr. Noodle?
35:47No.
35:49Mr. Noodle!
35:50A violin!
35:51Not a banana, Mr. Noodle.
35:54You can't play a banana.
35:56How do you hold the violin?
36:00Yeah, that's it.
36:01That's right, a violin.
36:03How do you hold it when you play it, Mr. Noodle?
36:06Show us how, Mr. Noodle.
36:08You think he knows?
36:10I don't know.
36:12Mr. Noodle!
36:14No, not like that.
36:16That's dancing.
36:17That's very nice dancing, but that's not the answer, Mr. Noodle.
36:23Try again, Mr. Noodle.
36:26No.
36:27Not up there.
36:29Mr. Noodle.
36:31No, not on your ear.
36:36It's okay, Mr. Noodle.
36:37You'll get it.
36:38Try again.
36:39How do you hold it when you play it?
36:42Oh, Mr. Noodle, here's a clue.
36:44You see that little black thing on the end?
36:46That's where you put the chin.
36:48So put that black part on your chin.
36:51You know where that is?
36:54Yeah, right there.
36:56But no.
36:58Not like that.
36:59Just slide it over a little towards your ear.
37:02Yeah, over there.
37:04Not that far.
37:05Too far, Mr. Noodle.
37:07Slide it back towards the mouth.
37:09Yeah, keep trying, Mr. Noodle.
37:12Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
37:13There.
37:13Yay.
37:15You got it.
37:16That's how you hold the violin when you play it.
37:19Yay, Mr. Noodle.
37:21Now, all you need is a bow.
37:23A bow.
37:24A bow.
37:26Yep.
37:28No, not that kind of bow.
37:31It's very pretty, but you need a violin bow.
37:35You need that to play violin.
37:37Yeah, that's it.
37:38Yay, that's it.
37:40That's a violin bow, Mr. Noodle.
37:42Use that to play the violin.
37:45Oh, that's a no, Mr. Noodle.
37:48Mr. Noodle.
37:49I know, Mr. Noodle.
37:52A little help, Shade.
37:54Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, Mr. Noodle.
37:57Was that Dorothy?
37:58Oh, OK.
38:00Dorothy wants to ask someone else.
38:01How do you hold a violin when you play it?
38:07Hi, Dorothy.
38:09This is my violin.
38:11This is the neck.
38:13And these are the strings.
38:18And this is the chin rest.
38:20This is how I play it with my bow.
38:35Dorothy, this is my violin.
38:36And this is how I play it.
38:51See?
38:53Oh, thanks, guys.
38:55Oh, and thank you, too, Dorothy.
38:57Now, Elmo will ask a baby.
39:01Oh, hello, baby.
39:02Baby, how do you hold a violin when you play it?
39:07Go ahead.
39:08Go ahead.
39:13Oh, thank you, baby.
39:14Kiss, kiss.
39:15Mwah.
39:16Bye-bye.
39:17Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
39:21Oh, boy.
39:22Oh, and now Elmo has a question for uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, you, you.
39:28Yeah, you.
39:29Oh, how many violins can this octopus play?
39:33Let's count them and see.
39:34Oh, octopus.
39:36Here you are.
39:38One.
39:39One.
39:40Two.
39:41Three.
39:43Four.
39:44Five.
39:45Six.
39:46Seven.
39:48Seven violins.
39:51And one, one big bow.
39:56Wow.
39:57Oh, great counting, everybody.
40:01And great practicing, octopus.
40:03Oh, maybe, maybe this is a good time for Elmo's surprise.
40:08Look at this.
40:09Elmo has mail.
40:10Elmo has mail.
40:11Elmo has mail.
40:12Elmo has mail.
40:13Not mail.
40:13Elmo has mail.
40:15Elmo has mail.
40:16Email.
40:16Elmo has mail.
40:17Elmo has mail.
40:17Oh, thank you, computer.
40:18Oh, let's see who his friend.
40:22Oh, Elmo's got email from his friend, uh,
40:27Abby Cadabie.
40:29Hi, Elmo.
40:30I'm here with my new friend, Miri Ben-Ari.
40:34Hello, Elmo.
40:35And she plays the violin.
40:39Ah.
40:40Um, Miri, what's a violin?
40:43This is a violin, Abby.
40:44See?
40:45It's a musical instrument that has strings, and I love to play it.
40:50You play that?
40:52How?
40:53Well, you move the bow over the strings, and the violin makes music.
41:00Oh, that sounds like magic.
41:04Not really.
41:05I'll show you.
41:06OK.
41:06When you're writing.
41:30Oh, wow.
41:33That sounded like magic to me.
41:35Ooh, Miri.
41:36Do you think I could play the violin?
41:39I think you can, if you learn how to play it and if you practice a lot.
41:46Oh, maybe I'll learn one day.
41:48Now all I know is my trick.
41:52What's your trick?
41:53Oh, it's this.
41:57Frumpkin, tumkin, ibbity-abbity, pumpkin.
42:03So, uh, Miri, can you play the pumpkin?
42:07I think I can.
42:09Let me try.
42:10Bye, Elmo.
42:12Bye, Elmo.
42:15Yep, catchy.
42:18Thanks, computer, thanks.
42:21Hmm, violins have strings and make music when you play them.
42:25That makes Elmo wonder, what else has strings and makes music?
42:29Let's find out.
42:31Oh, Troy!
42:33What is Troy doing?
42:36Troy doesn't have strings.
42:41Does a flute have strings and make music?
42:44A flute doesn't have strings.
42:48But you can make music with it.
42:51Very pretty.
42:53Does cheese have strings and make music?
42:56No, it doesn't have strings.
42:58But I make music when I play music.
42:59And you can't make music with it.
43:01What about string cheese?
43:03You can't make music with it, but it tastes good.
43:07Does a piano have strings and make music?
43:11Yes, but not like that.
43:14The strings are on the inside.
43:16Ah!
43:19Does Rosita have strings and make music?
43:22Rosita doesn't have strings.
43:26But I make music when I play my guitar and my guitar has strings.
43:40Oh, yeah.
43:43Thanks, Troy.
43:45Now, now it's time for Elmo's violin surprise.
43:52No, not yet, because now Elmo wants to find out more about violins.
43:57Elmo's friend, Levy, takes violin lessons.
44:01And she told Elmo all about it.
44:04I'm learning how to play the violin.
44:07And my teacher is Mrs. Jimmerson.
44:10I have to be very careful with my violin.
44:13My teacher doesn't want to hear a sound when I put it on the table.
44:17I put something called rosin on the bow before I play the violin.
44:23Without rosin, there would be no sound at all.
44:27My teacher taught me how to hold the violin in rest position.
44:32And play position.
44:34I'm learning how to play Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.
44:38I practice on two strings.
44:45Okay.
44:45And then I use my fingers to play the tune.
44:49My teacher put tape on my violin so I know where to put my fingers to play different notes.
45:03And I'm learning how to use different bow strokes.
45:07Legato.
45:11Which means a smooth stroke.
45:18But what I like most is playing while my teacher plays with me on the piano.
45:52I'm learning a lot.
45:54And I love to play the violin.
46:02Good job.
46:05Aw.
46:06Great violin playing, Levy.
46:09Elmo wants to learn even more about violins.
46:11Don't you?
46:13How can we find out more?
46:16Yes.
46:17Yes.
46:18Yes, TV.
46:19We can watch the violin channel on TV.
46:23Put yourself on TV.
46:26Welcome to the violin's channel.
46:28We string you along.
46:30And now, the violin that loved her bow.
46:34Once upon a time there was a little violin that loved her bow.
46:39And her bow loved her too.
46:42My beau friend.
46:44They loved doing things together.
46:46They took long walks on the beach together.
46:49We don't take long walks on the beach.
46:51Oh.
46:52Then they had candlelit dinners together.
46:54We don't do that either.
46:56Well, what do you do together?
46:58We make beautiful music together.
47:04Oh, right.
47:06The violin and her bow made very fast music together.
47:12And slow music together.
47:19The violin and her bow made high notes together.
47:25And low notes together.
47:30They made loud music together.
47:36And soft music together.
47:41They played well with others too.
47:44Sometimes they played with a lot of other musical instruments in an orchestra.
47:56No matter what, the violin and the bow love to play together.
48:02And they played happily ever after.
48:06The end.
48:10Coming up next, Stringing in the Rain.
48:13So stay tuned.
48:16Hey, baby.
48:16Hey, baby.
48:17Hey, baby.
48:17Hey, baby.
48:18Elmo wants to find out more about violins.
48:21How can we find out more?
48:24Who could that be?
48:29Hey, kid.
48:31How would you like to talk to a violin?
48:34And a bow.
48:35Oh, boy.
48:36Hey, we could talk to a violin and a bow.
48:39Yay!
48:40Take my bow.
48:42Please.
48:43Why do I always have to play second fiddle?
48:45So, how is a chicken like a violin?
48:50We both have a neck.
48:53And a body.
48:56And we both get plucked.
49:03But seriously, Elmo, you can play all kinds of music on the violin.
49:09Really?
49:09Well, what kind of music?
49:11Well, there's classical music.
49:18Oh, tickles.
49:20Take my bow.
49:21Please.
49:23Very nice.
49:25Hmm.
49:26You can also play jazz on the violin.
49:29Oh, really?
49:30Oh, look, look, look, look.
49:32Dorothy's imagining Elmo playing jazz music on the violin.
49:37We're going to watch a fish think?
49:39This will be exciting.
49:56And there's bluegrass.
49:58You can play that on the fiddle.
50:00Another name for the violin.
50:21Fancy fiddling.
50:23Yeah.
50:23Elmo knows something else to play on the violin.
50:26The violin song.
50:28Yeah.
50:29Now it's time for Elmo's surprise.
50:31There's so many more ideas.
50:34No, no, no, no.
50:36Not today, Piano.
50:38Uh-uh.
50:39Elmo's going to play the violin song on the violin.
50:44Surprise!
50:53Violin, viololin, via, violin.
50:56We love the violin song.
50:58Play with Elmo.
50:59You too, Piano! Everybody!
51:16Say goodbye, Dorothy!
51:20Say goodbye, Violin!
51:22Goodbye! Take my bow, please!
51:25Take a bow, Go!
51:27Thank you!
51:31Hi, Mom!
51:34It's almost time!
