00:52¶Snowly day, sleepin' the clouds away
00:59On my way to where the air is seen
01:05Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
01:12Call and play, everything's A-OK
01:19Friendly neighbors say, that's where we meet
01:24Can you tell me how to get, how to get to Sesame Street?
01:31How to get to Sesame Street?
01:34How to get to Sesame Street?
01:58Oh, hi, hi
02:00I'm sitting here reading about shelled worms
02:02You know anything about shelled worms?
02:05They're worms with shells on them
02:06And around 350,000 years ago, which is a little bit older than I am
02:12There were shelled worms all over the bottom of the ocean
02:14Sure, millions of them
02:17Well, it's interesting
02:18Oh, you know what else I found out?
02:21That today, the entire hour of Sesame Street is coming to you
02:25Through the courtesy of the letter L
02:29The letter U
02:31And the numbers 4 and 5
02:35But most especially by this letter
02:38You know what letter that is?
02:40It's the letter Y
02:45This is a letter
02:47The letter Y
02:48Do you know how I know?
02:50It looks like the trunk of a tree
02:52Where the yellow yahoos go
02:54Listen
02:55Yahoo
02:56There's a Yahoo now
02:58I know I hear a sigh
03:00Sigh
03:01He's just waking up from a nap in the tree
03:04That looks like a Y
03:06Watch it now
03:07He's up with a yell
03:08Yahoo
03:11What do you think your mother would do
03:13If you yelled like the yellow yahoo?
03:17Boo
03:17After a yell and a tasty lunch
03:22A yellow yahoo rubs his tummy
03:24When you ask him if his lunch was good
03:26He answers
03:27Yes, quite yummy
03:29And then
03:30And then
03:31The yahoo yawns
03:33He yawns, that yellow yahoo
03:35Then it's up with a tree
03:37And fast asleep
03:38And then
03:39And then
03:39To dream
03:40About you
03:40He dreams about you
03:42The yellow yahoo
03:44Through the night
03:45Under the sky
03:46By the tree
03:48That looks
03:49Like a Y
03:52Y

12:12Huh, that's a four.
12:18Well, I knew what it was all along, but who wants to get hit in the face with a four?
12:32Yeah, Kwame and Ann, I've got to tell you about these worms, 350,000 years ago. That's a long time
12:39ago, right? All over the shallow sea bottoms with nothing but worms with shells on them. Can you imagine that?
12:46Practically nothing else on earth. You can't imagine that? Well, I'm glad you're excited about it because I am too.
12:51True. And I'll tell you what, since we've done that, we'll do one other thing here.
12:57And I'll give you a shot at this. This is a headline of a newspaper, right?
13:01And in that headline, there is a letter L. See if you can find it.
13:07You found it. That's letter L.
13:10Oh, hello there. I'd like you to meet my friend, the letter L. Recognize it? L is very useful in
13:17sure things beginning with an L. Here's one. A ladder. A ladder is very useful when you want to climb
13:25up to a high place like this.
13:27Hey, that was easy. Hey, come back here. I need that. Hey! A ladder is also a useful thing to
13:42get down from a high place.
13:48Hey, come back here.
13:51L. That's right. And that was a letter L. And a little letter L over there, right?
14:05now Kwame you ready okay let's see if you can find the letter U see where it
14:14is yeah wait right there there's a U that's right it's a U
14:22a salute to the letter U useful for words
14:30beginning with you little words such as use big words such as university and in
14:39between words such as ukulele without the letter U there would be no universe or
14:52uranium without the letter U units would be nets
14:58policemen would have no uniforms and nothing would be useful for instance
15:06whoever heard of an IO so here's to you you you've earned your place in the
15:14alphabet and so to you you for your unique universal usability we say thank you
15:22you anybody want to buy a used U Kwame that's right that was the letter U
15:30found it right there right letter U if we put all these words together and Kwame what
15:39will we have what's this first word nurse nurse shortage critical you know what
15:47that means yes watch the shorter nurses what do you think of these not enough
15:54nurses to go around that's what you say Kwame and and you said that the shorter
16:01nurses and you're both right that's exactly what it means but I don't think
16:05you two need nurses because it's not right now because you're very healthy very
16:10active and you're full of all kinds of pep and stuff so why don't you get up and

17:59little boy yes how about you tell okay well happiness is two kinds of ice cream
18:15happiness is learning to whistle and tying your shoe for the very first time remember when you did that
18:25happiness is playing the drum in your own school band and happiness is walking
18:38hand in hand let's see happiness is five different crayons knowing the secret climbing a tree
18:56happiness is finding a nickel catching a firefly setting him free
19:07happiness is being alone every now and then you like to be alone and happiness is coming home again
19:25happiness is coming home again you know what else I like happiness is morning and evening day time and night
19:34time too
19:35happiness is anyone and anything at all that's love
19:49happiness is coming home now I'm happy oh well guess what we've just heard from oh happy oscar well those
20:08things wouldn't make you happy oscar not a bit well oscar uh you know i would love to know what
20:14kind of things would make a nice grouch like you happy
20:17Well...
20:18Would you tell me?
20:19Hey, let us go and reveal what I was going to say.
20:23Oscar, tell us all about it.
20:25Happiness is sand in your sandwich,
20:29wearing wet mittens, sweeping the floor.
20:32Sweeping the floor?
20:35Happiness is rocks in your sneakers,
20:38not being handled, a party next door.
20:42You don't like parties, Oscar?
20:44Happiness is waiting all day for the rain to end.
20:51And happiness is doing it again.
20:56Oh, Oscar, tell it like it is.
20:59Happiness is having a trash can,
21:03having a lint shot.
21:05Would you like a trash can?
21:07Well, happiness is anyone and anything at all.
21:14It's all like yours.
21:23Oh, that old Oscar's too much.
21:26Hey, and there's a couple of things...
21:27Oscar, there's a couple of things that I'm not quite clear of,
21:30though, that I'd like to ask you.
21:31Now, maybe rocks in your sneakers would make you happy,
21:34and sand in your sandwich,
21:36but there's one thing I'm not quite sure of, Oscar.
21:38What's that, Bob?
21:39Well, I just don't really understand why you want to be happy anyway.
21:45Well, you see, I don't like to be happy.
21:48Right.
21:48So those things make me happy.
21:51Uh-huh.
21:52Well, when I'm happy, I don't like to be happy.
21:54Right.
21:54So it makes me grouchy.
21:56I see.
21:56And I like to be grouchy.
21:58You see?
21:59Because being grouchy makes you happy.
22:00Well, then you must be...
22:01Well, of course, I'm happy when I'm grouchy.
22:02Well, Oscar, then you must be happy most of the time,
22:04because you're usually always pretty grouchy.
22:06You know that.
22:07Yeah, well, of course, I like being grouchy.
22:09Right.
22:09So that makes me happy.
22:10Yeah.
22:11But I don't like to be happy.
22:12Uh-huh.
22:12So therefore, I get grouchy.
22:15But when I'm grouchy, I'm happy, you see?
22:17He's grouchy and he's happy.
22:18I... I...
22:20Well, that's...
22:21That's our old lovable Oscar anyway, huh?
22:24Bah!
22:26How you like that, Oscar, huh?
22:28As soon as Susan starts nursing,
22:30I'm gonna send her right over here to see what's wrong with Oscar.
22:34Hey!
22:35What's that?
22:36Uh, sounds like the nameless skywriter up there.
22:40Yeah, that's who...
22:42No, it's not.
22:43It's the anything people.
22:44Would you like to ride in my beautiful balloon?
22:50Would you like to glide in my beautiful balloon?

23:00But we can fly.
23:04But we can fly.
23:08Up, up, up and away, my beautiful, my beautiful balloon.
23:19The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon.
23:25The world's a nicer place in my beautiful balloon.

25:14This really looks like a tin can
25:15with both ends open, right?
25:19Right
25:19That's roughly what it is
25:21But you call this kind of thing a cylinder
25:23Because it's round
25:24It's long, it's like that
25:27So what I want you two to do with it
25:29Is to show me
25:30Show everybody
25:33What it means to go over
25:35This, just do it with your hand
25:37Suppose you're going to take your hand over it
25:39Over the cylinder

26:16All the way around
26:18From end to end

26:59In apprehending that arch criminal Robin
27:01I'll tie this rope around the bat boomerang
27:04Like this
27:06And up in the air it goes
27:08And through that open window
27:14Holy vocabulary Batman
27:16You got it
27:16Understanding the meaning of up
27:18Through and around
27:20Always leads us in the right direction Robin
27:23Right
27:24See Batman is one of those people
27:26Who knows all about through
27:27And around
27:28And all those words
27:29And the other person is
27:31Alice Braithwaite
27:33Goody Shoes
27:37Hello
27:39This is the smartest person in town
27:40Alice Braithwaite Goody Shoes again
27:42This time I'm going to show you
27:44What through means
27:45I'm going to pour this paint
27:47Into the top of this pipe
27:48So that it goes through the pipe
27:50And comes out the bottom
27:51Hmm
27:51Aren't I clever and most marvelous person
27:55Okay
27:55Now
27:59It didn't come through
28:03Now that's through
28:07Well that's a crow
28:08What did you say crow?
28:09Have you ever seen a scarecrow
28:11Mia or Chet?
28:12No
28:12You've seen a scarecrow?
28:14Well this is what a scarecrow scares
28:17Oh look at this old crow
28:19Boy is he swinging
28:21He's a little bit
28:22But um
28:23It's itchy right now
28:25Cause he seems to be scratching feathers and things
28:28Oh yeah?
28:29I didn't know that
28:31The crow is related to the raven
28:35And
28:36Oh yeah?
28:37Really?
28:38Well what else happened?
28:39He's telling me about the time
28:41He went to the crow convention
28:43Yeah?
28:43He really swung down there huh?
28:45Everybody got together
28:46Had a party
28:47Uh huh
28:49Oh really?
28:50And you going back next year?
28:52It was that good?
28:53Imagine that
28:55They're also related to the magpies
28:58Do you know that?
28:59Yeah
28:59Oh sure
29:00Your average magpie wouldn't
29:03What was that?
29:06You don't want me to talk about the magpies?
29:08Because this is crow's time
29:10Let the magpie get his own time?
29:12Alright
29:12Anything you say
29:13It's alright with me
29:14Ah
29:15Oh
29:16Okay
29:17Who else?
29:18Oh I didn't know that
29:19Ah
29:20Oh yeah?
29:21You know crows can talk sometimes
29:23I mean they can actually
29:24Sort of sound like they're saying words
29:27Close to what a parrot can do
29:29Ah
29:31And they fly away
29:32Well that's what I call a flying crow
29:35Hey honey
29:35Guess what?
29:36Oh hi kids
29:37Hi you just missed my crow
29:38You had a crow?
29:39Yeah
29:40Guess what?
29:41My license is still alright
29:43Oh good
29:44I have to take one course
29:45That's all
29:45Uh huh
29:46You know I'm gonna go get my uniforms out
29:47And see what kind of shape they're
29:48Okay
29:49Okay
29:50Take it easy now
29:51Well I'd sure like to see her happy
29:55Why?
29:57Yo-yo
30:01Hmm
30:04Ha ha ha
30:08Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa why?
30:19This is a letter
30:20The letter Y
30:22Do you know how I know?
30:24Do you know how I know?
30:24It looks like the trunk of a tree
30:26Where the yellow yahoo's go
30:28Listen
30:29Yahoo
30:30There's a yahoo now
30:32I know I hear a sigh
30:34Sigh
30:35He's just waking up from a nap in the tree
30:38That looks like a Y
30:40Watch it now
30:41He's up with a yell
30:42Yahoo
30:43Yahoo
30:43Yahoo
30:43Yahoo
30:44What do you think your mother would do
30:47If you yelled like the yellow yahoo?
30:51Boo
30:51After a yell and a tasty lunch
30:55A yellow yahoo rubs his tummy
30:58When you ask him if his lunch was good
31:00He answers
31:01Yes, quite yummy
31:03And then
31:04And then
31:05The yahoo yawns
31:06He yawns
31:08That yellow yahoo
31:09Then it's up the tree
31:10And fast asleep
31:12And then
31:13To dream
31:13About you
31:14He dreams about you
31:16The yellow yahoo
31:18Through the night
31:19Under the sky
31:20By the tree
31:21That looks like a Y
31:25That says closed
31:27And this sign says
31:29Fail
31:30Yarn
31:30Big Bird the star's closed you know
31:33Oh yes Susan
31:33I'm just looking at the signs
31:35Because I'm using signs
31:37To practice
31:37Learning words
31:39Oh that's a good idea
31:40How are you doing now?
31:41Oh fine
31:42I'm going up and down
31:43Sesame Street
31:43And reading all the signs
31:46One up on the corner
31:46On the lamppost says
31:48Sesame Street
31:49Right on the sign
31:50Our street sign
31:50That's right
31:51Mmhmm
31:51Just beyond that
31:53There's another little sign
31:54That says stop
31:56Right on the corner
31:57The stop sign
31:58Good
31:58This one says
31:59Sail
32:00Yarn
32:01Right
32:01Hey you're doing alright
32:03But there's a word
32:04That I saw today
32:06Uh huh
32:06Huh
32:07I can hardly say it
32:09And I sure don't know
32:10What it means
32:11Well why don't you tell me
32:12Maybe I can help you
32:13Well
32:14It's quite a word
32:15You ready to hear it?
32:17Sure
32:17Okay listen to this
32:20Ahem
32:21Abkadefki
32:22Jekalman
32:23Knock
32:23I beg your pardon
32:26Big Bird
32:26That's the word
32:28Abkadefki
32:29Jekalman
32:29Knock
32:30Stoo
32:30Wix
32:31Abka what?
32:32Where did you see that word?
32:34Right over there in the yard
32:35Oh in the yard
32:36Sure
32:37Sure
32:38Oh there
32:40Oh there
32:40Wow
32:41That is some kind of word
32:44Whoa
32:46Abkadefki Jekalman
32:48Knock
32:48Stoo Wix
32:49Is
32:49It's the most remarkable word I've ever seen
32:54Abkadefki Jekalman
32:55Knock
32:56Stoo Wix
32:57I wish I knew exactly what I mean
33:01It starts out like an A word
33:03As anyone can see
33:05But somewhere in the middle
33:07It gets awfully queer to me
33:10Abkadefki Jekalman
33:11Knock
33:11Stoo Wix
33:12Is
33:13If I ever find out just what this word can mean
33:16I'll be the smartest bird the world has ever seen
33:21Maybe Gordon would know
33:22Or maybe Bob
33:23I could ask them
33:25Then again
33:26It might be kind of an elephant
33:28Or a funny kind of kazoo
33:30Or a strange exotic turtle
33:32That you never see in a zoo
33:34It might be a kind of doggy
33:37Or a particular shade of blue
33:38Or maybe a pretty flower
33:44Nah
33:44Not with a name like that
33:47Uh uh
33:49Abkadefki Jekalman
33:50Knock
33:50Stoo Wix
33:51Is
33:51The most remarkable word I've ever seen
33:57Abkadefki Jekalman
33:58Knock
33:58Stoo Wix
33:59Is
33:59I sure wish I knew exactly what I mean
34:03It starts out like an A word
34:06As anyone can see
34:08But somewhere in the middle
34:09It gets awfully queer to me
34:12Abkadefki Jekalman
34:14Knock
34:14Stoo Wix
34:15Is
34:15If I ever find out just what this word can mean
34:18Be the smartest bird this world has ever seen
34:27Oh, Big Bird, that's a terrific song
34:30But I really hate to tell you this
34:32What?
34:32But that's not a word
34:33It's not
34:34No, Big Bird
34:35This is the alphabet
34:37A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T,
34:47U, V, W, X, Y, Z
34:50You mean, that's the alphabet?
34:52That's right
34:53Oh, it's not a word
34:55No
34:55It's not Abkadefki Jekalman
34:57Knock
34:57Stoo Wix
34:58No, but you know what it is?
35:00It's a list of all the letters that make words
35:02For instance, if we take these letters here
35:05C, A, and take an R from over here
35:08We make up our own words
35:10C, A, R, car
35:12Oh
35:13Or let's put the R back up here where it belongs
35:15And take the T down
35:17And we have another word
35:18C, A, T, it's very useful
35:20Hey, that's easy
35:21Can you make the word, um, hair for me?
35:25Hair? Sure
35:26Let's put some of these letters back
35:28Let's see, we'll take an H there
35:30Wait, that spells hat
35:31Right
35:32Hey, big bird, that's great
35:33H, A, I, and R
35:38That spells hair
35:39Uh-huh
35:40What do you want that letter?
35:42What do you want, uh, this word for? Hair?
35:44Well, Kermit, the frog, is going to tell us all about hair
35:49Oh
35:51Uh, hiya there
35:52Uh, my name is Kermit
35:53And today I'm going to talk to you about hair
35:56Hair, right?
35:58Okay
35:58Now then, hair is a part of you
36:00It's, uh, not a part of me
36:03Because I'm a frog
36:04And frogs don't have hair
36:06But you've got hair, right?
36:08Right
36:08Well, now the question is
36:10Where do you have hair?
36:11And the answer is, uh, well, uh, let's see
36:14The answer is, uh, um, where do you have hair?
36:20Where do you find hair?
36:21Um, psst
36:22Come here
36:24Oh, ha, there it is
36:26Sure, sure
36:27Now, see there?
36:27Right there
36:28People always have hair right on the top of their head
36:31See the hair?
36:32Right there on the top of their head
36:34So if you're looking for hair, you know where to find it
36:36Right?
36:37Right there on the top of their head
36:38You know, if you're a people
36:39But not if you're a frog
36:40Remember?
36:41Frogs don't have hair
36:42Remember that?
36:43Okay
36:43Now, hair comes in different colors and different lengths
36:46Uh, you can brush it with a brush
36:48Or you can comb it with a comb
36:49And this right here is the, uh, hair comb
36:52For combing hair
36:53And, uh, wait a minute
36:56It seems like I was, uh, somewhat mistaken
36:59Uh, some people not only have hair on the top of their head
37:02But, uh, some people have hair on the bottom of their head
37:07Now, when you have hair all over your face like that, uh, what's it called?
37:11Well, we all remember what it's called, right?
37:13When you have hair on your face like that
37:15It's called a, uh, um, uh, let's see, uh, I used to know what that was called
37:22It's called a, uh, what's it called?
37:25A beard
37:26Yeah, it's called a beer
37:28No, no, no
37:29A beard
37:30Oh, a beard
37:31Right, right
37:32So, uh, if you're looking for hair, you know where to find it, right?
37:36On top of your head
37:37And if you have hair on your face like this, it's called a beard, right?
37:40So, uh, if you're a big grown-up man or Santa Claus
37:43Then you have, uh, hair on your face and it's called a beard
37:46And, uh, there are lots of things you can do with hair
37:49You can, uh, go to a barber shop and have a haircut
37:52Or you can, uh, wash it to keep it clean
37:54Or you can, uh, comb it with a comb
37:56Or you can brush it with a brush
37:58Or you can, uh, uh,
38:00It's like a melody
38:03Uh, well, uh, let's see, uh, as I was saying, you have, uh, hair on your head in which case,
38:09uh, or you have hair on your face, uh, which is called a beard, uh, or you can have hair
38:15all over you
38:16Ta-da!
38:18Right, I mean, lots of big, bushy, furry, fluffy hair all over every single inch of you
38:23In which case, uh, you're a, uh, you're a, uh, uh, uh, what are you?
38:31Monster
38:32Monster
38:33In which case, you're a monster
38:34Yeah
38:34Uh, in which that case, uh, that's all I'm going to tell you about hair, uh, right about now
38:39Because, uh, oh, that's not necessary
38:42Remember, I'm a frog, remember?
38:44Yeah
38:44And frogs don't have hair
38:45And, uh, so I'll see you guys around, huh?
38:47Woo!
38:49One, two, raise your shoes
38:51Three, four, remove the door
38:54Five, six, rub out the bricks
38:57Seven, eight, sit down and wait
39:00Nine, ten
39:02In trouble again
39:03One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
39:07Ten
39:11We've got some very, very hungry rabbits on Sesame Street today
39:16And we're just feeding them
39:18Mama, would you like a little, would you like a little carrot?

40:13This is the mother that I have here

42:57Say so hard on Gordon
42:58Yeah
42:59Mama
43:00I don't know what you've been eating
43:02This book is called
43:03Whistle for Willie
43:05So I don't know what it's all about
43:06We'll just have to look at it
43:08And find out
43:09Okay?
43:09You ready?
43:10Okay
43:11Here we go
43:13Mmm
43:16There's a young guy
43:17And I guess his name is Peter
43:19It says
43:19Oh, how Peter wished
43:21He could whistle
43:25He saw a boy playing with his dog
43:29Whenever the boy whistled
43:31The dog ran straight to him
43:34Peter tried and tried to whistle
43:37But he couldn't
43:38So instead
43:40He began to turn himself around
43:42Around and around
43:44He whirled
43:45Faster and faster
43:50When he stopped
43:51Everything turned
43:54Down
43:55And
43:57Up
43:57And
43:59Up
43:59And
44:01Down
44:02And
44:03Around
44:04And
44:05Around
44:06And
44:06What do you think is the matter with Peter?
44:08Huh?
44:09He's getting dizzy
44:10Peter saw his dog
44:12Willie
44:13Coming
44:15Quick as a wink
44:16He hid in an empty carton
44:18Lying on the sidewalk
44:21Wouldn't it be funny if I whistled?
44:23Peter thought
44:23Willie would stop
44:25And look all around
44:27To see who it was
44:29Peter tried again to whistle
44:31Whish
44:32Whish
44:33But still he couldn't
44:35So Willie just walked on
44:40Peter got out of the carton
44:42And started home
44:43And started home
44:44On the way
44:45He took some colored chalks
44:47Out of his pocket
44:48And drew a long
44:50Long
44:52Line
44:53Oh look at that line
44:55Went all the way around
44:57The barber pole
44:58In front of the barber shop
45:00And
45:01Right up to his door
45:03He stood there
45:05And tried to whistle again
45:06Whish
45:07Whish
45:09Whish
45:09Whish
45:09He blew till his cheeks were tired
45:12But nothing happened
45:17He went into his house
45:18And he put on his father's old hat
45:21To make himself feel more grown up
45:24He looked into the mirror
45:26To practice whistling
45:27Whish
45:29Whish
45:29Whish
45:30Still no whistle
45:33Whish
45:34Whish
45:34When his mother saw what he was doing
45:35Whish
45:36Whish
45:37You can sneeze
45:38Peter can't whistle
45:40Peter
45:41Peter pretended that he was his father
45:43He said
45:44I've come home early today dear
45:47Is Peter here?
45:49His mother
45:50She's gonna play along with him
45:51She answered
45:52Why no
45:54He's outside with Willie
45:56Well
45:57I'll go out and look for them
45:59Said Peter
46:01First
46:02He walked along a crack in the sidewalk
46:05See him walking along the crack there?
46:08Then he tried to run away from his shadow
46:12Boy that's hard
46:14He jumped off his shadow
46:17But when he landed
46:18They were together again
46:20Couldn't get away huh?
46:22He came to the corner where the carton was
46:25And who should he see?
46:28But Willie
46:30There's Willie
46:32Peter scramble under the carton
46:35He blew
46:36Whish
46:36And blew
46:37Whish
46:38And blew
46:38Suddenly
46:39Whish
46:41Out came a real whistle
46:44Willie stopped
46:46And looked around to see who it was
46:49Yes
46:52It's me
46:53Peter shouted
46:54And stood up
46:56And Willie raced straight to him
47:00Peter ran home
47:02Boy did he run home
47:03To show his father and mother what he could do
47:07They loved Peter's whistling
47:09So did Willie
47:13Peter's mother asked him and Willie to go on an errand to the grocery store
47:18He whistled all the way there
47:21And he whistled all the way home
47:25How about that?
47:27You like that?
47:27Yes
47:28Can you whistle?
47:29Yes
47:29Good
47:31Can you whistle me?
47:33You're in Peter's leg kid
47:35Well anyway
47:36Peter learned to whistle for his dog
47:38But I can whistle for fish
47:39Want to see me whistle for some fish?
47:42Watch
47:44Here fish
47:45While fishing for dinner one day
47:48A boy caught a big letter A
47:50He then caught a B
47:52A C D and E
47:54And an F G H I J and K
47:59Unhappy
48:00The boy sat and thought
48:01I can't eat these letters I caught
48:04I must catch some fish to fill up my dish
48:07Or my whole afternoon is for naught
48:10But as soon as his hook hit the C
48:12He caught L N N O and P
48:16And Q R S T
48:18And a U and a V
48:20And a W X Y and Z
48:24Now hungry he stared at the group
48:26Then suddenly grabbing a scoop
48:30He had a bright notion
48:31And cooked up a potion
48:34And feasted on alphabet soup
48:40One, two, raise your shoes
48:42Three, four, remove the door
48:45Five, six, rub out the bricks
48:48Seven, eight, sit down and wait
48:51Nine, ten, in trouble again
48:54One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine
48:57Ten
49:02Y
49:04Y
49:05Y
49:05Y
49:06Y
49:06Y
49:06Y
49:06Y
49:06Y
49:22I'm only a bird in a gilded cage.
49:29Was that you singing, Zygmunt?
49:30Yes, I can sing like a bird.
49:32You certainly do.
49:34Do you know what?
49:35I've decided to go back to work.
49:37Did you know I was a nurse?
49:38A nurse?
49:39You?
49:39No, I didn't know that.
49:40I'm a public health nurse, though.
49:42That's a visiting...
49:43Uh-oh.
49:43That sounds like my phone.
49:44Do you have a...
49:45Hold this for a minute.
49:46I'll be right back.
49:47Okay.
49:47I'm happy to.
49:49Gee, I'm happy to help.
49:50Lots of people don't ask me to help because sometimes they don't trust me with things.
49:54And there's a lot of things that I can't do.
49:56Sometimes I'm not too smart.
49:59And sometimes I'm kind of clumsy.
50:02But there's one thing that I can do.
50:05Help people by holding bags.
50:07For them because I'm good at that.
50:09If there's one thing that I'm good at, it's really ho...
50:13Oh, no.
50:15What did I do?
50:16I think I broke something.
50:21Oh, it's all in a million pieces.
50:25Oh, no.
50:26It must have been something valuable because Susan was carrying it really carefully.
50:33And I've dropped it and broken it.
50:35But what?
50:35But why was Susan carrying it?
50:37It must have been a glass vase.
50:40What was she doing with it?
50:42It must have been a present.
50:44A glass... something... cookie jar?
50:47Something beautiful.
50:48It was probably a glass cookie jar that she was going to give as a present to... to somebody
50:53like... like maybe her grandmother.
50:55Sure.
50:56I could just see it now.
50:58She's bought this pretty little glass cookie jar and she's going to give it to her grandmother.
51:02But I went and broke it.
51:04I've ruined everything.
51:06Oh, what am I going to do?
51:08Look at it.
51:09Broken.
51:10Lying there.
51:11Oh, I got to think of something quick.
51:13I got to think.
51:14Got to think, think, think.
51:16Oh, boy.
51:23One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
51:30One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
51:33Five.
51:35Five.
51:40Five.
51:43Five.
51:53One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
52:06Oh, woe is me.
52:08Oh, I've gone and done it now.
52:10Oh, poor Susan.
52:12I went and broke her cookie jar.
52:15She was going to give that beautiful cookie jar that I, all I had to do was hold it in
52:21the paper bag.
52:23She was going to give it to her dear old grandmother.
52:26But now I've ruined everything.
52:28I went and broke it.
52:31Well, there's only a few things I could possibly do now.
52:35I could try to glue the pieces together, but I'm all feathers.
52:39I couldn't do that.
52:41Well, I could tell Susan about it and beg forgiveness.
52:47Who could forgive breaking a beautiful glass cookie jar that you were going to give to your grandmother?
52:53Well, there's only one other thing I could do.
52:57Run away and take up a new life in some strange place.
53:02Hmm.
53:03That's what I'm going to have to do.
53:05I'm going to have to leave.
53:08Well, it's been nice seeing you here on Sesame Street.
53:12And goodbye forever.
53:14I'm just going to sneak away.
53:19Oh, woe, it's me.
53:22Where are you going, Big Bird?
53:23Oh, I'm not going anyplace.
53:30Well, what were you doing?
53:31You looked like you were sneaking away to me.
53:33No, no, no.
53:34I was trying a new dance step.
53:37Oh, that's terrific.
53:39Watch the feet.
53:40Don't look.
53:41Oh, put down the bag.
53:43Oh, don't touch the bag.
53:44Why?
53:44No, no, don't look in the bag.
53:46Watch me dance instead.
53:47Why?
53:47Why not look in the bag?
53:49No, don't look in the bag.
53:50Oh, please.
53:51I beg you don't look in the bag.
53:53Big Bird, what's the matter with you?
53:56It's too late.
53:57You see it.
53:58Too late for what?
53:59See what?
54:00It's ruined, isn't it?
54:01Now you see.
54:02Now you know it's all broken.
54:04What's broken?
54:05Your beautiful cookie jar.
54:07Here we're going to give to your nice little daddy.
54:10Listen.
54:11There's nothing in here but my trash.
54:14There was a pickle jar in there.
54:16Is that what you're telling you about?
54:17Trash?
54:18Yes, my trash.
54:20Trash?
54:20That's all that was in there.
54:22You got trash?
54:23You thought you broke something?
54:24A cookie jar for your grandmother.
54:26Oh, listen, Big Bird.
54:27When you do something wrong, you have to admit it.
54:29Now, just calm down.
54:31Listen.
54:31You mean I nearly ran away because I broke trash?
54:34Listen.
54:35Let's play a game.
54:36You feel better?
54:36Yeah, that'll make me feel better.
54:38Hey, why don't you try and guess what this is?
54:40Okay.
54:42Okay.
54:49Okay.
54:50All right.
54:56Oh, my God.
55:04Yay.
55:09Bye, bye.
55:39Well, did you know what that was?
55:40I sure did.
55:41That is a tomato.
55:44Tomato.
55:44Oh, I almost said it right.
55:46It's a tomato.
55:47You like tomatoes?
55:49Except for holding bags.
55:50I love tomatoes.
55:52Oh, yeah.
55:52They're very good, I think.
55:53That was good to guess that.
55:55Hey, listen.
55:55Here's another one.
55:56Good.
55:57See if you can guess what this is.
56:10La-la-la-la.
56:18La-la-la-la.
56:22La-la-la-la.
57:26Well, I would guess, Susan, that it was skin, except it didn't have any feathers on it, so maybe it
57:30was...
57:30No, it was people's skin. People's skin have no feathers. Just birds have feathers.
57:35Oh, yeah.
57:36So you were right. Hey, listen, Big Bird, I have to go bake a pie for Gordon, so say goodbye
57:41to everybody for me, will you?
57:42Okay, but save me a piece of pie.
57:43Oh, sure. Come up later.
57:44Well, I've been a real silly goose today, but come and see us again, because Sesame Street has been brought
57:50to you today
