05:12Thank you Kerm.
05:14And now, here's the moment you've been waiting for.
05:18Let's turn to our magic letter board and see what our first treasure hunt letter is going to be.
05:25A, B, B.
05:28And it's the letter B.
05:31Contestants, you have 30 seconds to find and bring back something that begins with a letter B.
05:40Starting now.
05:43Wait, wait, wait, Dimples, wait a minute, Dimples, don't hold on to me.
05:46We've got to hurry.
05:47I've got to go bring back something that begins with a B, Dimples.
05:50Can they do it, audience?
05:53Remember, they have only 30 seconds.
05:57Dimples, stop that.
05:59Let go, Dimples.
06:06Just in time, there goes our 30-second buzzer.
06:10Hey, well, don't get your hopes up.
06:13I just brought this trash can in here because I thought the place could use a little decoration, you know?
06:18And for your information, trash can starts with the letter T, not B.
06:24Well, you're right, Gary, but, uh...
06:27Oh, yes, that trash can is full of bugs, and the word bugs begins with B.
06:35So, Gary Grouch, you want a piece of the cookie?
06:38Oh, no, no, I don't want it.
06:40Take it away.
06:40Take it away.
06:41Oh, wonderful, Gary.
06:43Now, let's see what our other contestants have brought back.
06:48Dimples the dog, what a clever dog you are.
06:52You've brought back Big Bird, and Big Bird starts with the letter B, so you want a piece of the
06:57cookie?
06:57Oh, no, wait, no, wait, wait.
07:00He didn't bring me back.
07:02He didn't do anything.
07:04He only stopped me from getting anything.
07:06Oh, Big Bird, I'm sorry.
07:10That makes you the only one who didn't bring back something beginning with B.
07:15Oh.
07:16Oh, well, better luck next time.
07:18But the dog was holding me.
07:20Isn't that wonderful, audience?
07:22Oh.
07:25Hear that?
07:26The magic board is going crazy, which can only mean, yes, it's bonus letter time.
07:34Everybody's a winner on Alphabet Treasure Hunt.
07:36He was holding out of my leg.
07:38And our first bonus letter of the day is...
07:42The dog.
07:43He was...
07:45The letter D.
07:49D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D, D,

08:35It's fine and dandy
08:37D-D, D-D, D-D
08:39D-D is such a very nice letter
08:43Each day I like it better
08:46That lovely letter called D
08:50You know, there are all kinds of words
08:52That begin with the letter D
08:53There's doctor and dentist and dime
08:57Dollar, daddy, door, dandelion
09:01Draw a daisy that's D
09:03Delightful to see when D is handy
09:06It's fine and dandy
09:08D-D, D-D, D-D is such a very nice letter
09:14Each day I like it better
09:18That lovely letter called D
09:21D-D, D
09:23Having fun
09:24But now we're D-D-D
09:27D-D
09:31Yes, delightful indeed
09:34And here we are back with our delightful contestants
09:38Ready for another try at our magic letter board
09:43And what will be our next treasure hunt letter?
09:48A-B-C-G-E-F
09:53And it's the letter F
09:56And our contestants are off again
10:00But now you stay
10:01You're good
10:03Don't follow me this time
10:04You'll be good
10:05Stay
10:06Will they do it this time?
10:09Will they find something that starts with the letter F?
10:14Yeah! Whoa! Ah, my tail! Ah, dimple, my tail!
10:20Listen, I can tell you something. Dimple didn't bring back anything this time because bird does not start with the
10:27letter F.
10:31No, but feather does. And I see a couple of big yellow ones right there.
10:37Yes, because he bit my tail. Those are my feathers.
10:41Well, they may be, but dimples brought them back, so dimples, you get another piece of the cookie!
10:50Well, gee!
10:51And now there's only a couple of seconds left, and Gary's back!
10:57And what is it, Gary, that you've brought back?
11:00Well, this is just my lunch, and lunch does not start with the letter F.
11:06And it's also wrapped up in this cruddy old newspaper, which likewise does not also.
11:13Ah, yes. But if, uh, my nose does not deceive me, your lunch is a rather pungent fish, and fish
11:24does begin with the letter F!
11:26Yes! Oh, no!
11:28Yes! Yes, Gary Grouch of Muddy Falls, Montana, you've earned another piece of the cookie!
11:34Ah! I don't want another piece of the cookie!
11:38Hey, if you take it back, I'll give you my fish!
11:41Ha ha! Isn't he wonderful? Wonderful!
11:44Well, Big Bird, I'm sorry, but you seem to have struck out again!
11:49Ah, but don't be discouraged, because there's still a ghost of a chance that you can catch up!
11:55Hey, listen, this dog hasn't brought back anything here!
11:58He's just running around being a dog!
12:01And that Grouch doesn't even want to win!
12:04Ha ha!
12:04Ha ha! Do you hear that? You know what that means? Are we lucky today or what? It looks like
12:11our magic board is lighting up again, which means it's bonus letter time!
12:18Ha ha!
12:18He put my tail!
12:21And yes, it's a double bonus! H and J!
12:27Yeah, he put my tail!
12:32He, he, it's almost ready! My greatest invention! With only three simple working parts! This straight piece here, and another
12:41straight piece here, and this cross piece between them!
12:45All right, everything is ready! My great masterpiece is about to be invented!
12:52Stand back! I'm throwing the switch!
12:57He, he, he, it works! It works! My new invention works! He, he, he, he! But wait, wait, it has
13:03to have a name!
13:04Hmm, I know! I will call it capital H! Yes, capital H! And I will use the H in words!
13:13Oh, how perfect!
13:14Now, let me see! Since the H is heavy, I'll use it to start the word heavy!
13:23And of course, the H is very handsome, so I'll use it as the first letter in the word handsome!
13:30Oh, what a great invention, this H! Oh, it's absolutely perfect! It's useful as controlled capital letter H!
13:39Well, maybe it could use a smidge more work!
13:43Come home, H! Come home!
13:50J! I was named after the letter J, because everything my family does starts with a J!
13:55There are folks who poke fun at the way my family's run
13:59It's a jokin', joyful jumpin' jamboree
14:03So if you'd like a job, just join our jolly mob
14:06And we'll show you how much fun a J can be
14:09My sister's into Judo
14:12My father likes to jog
14:15My mother washes jelly jars
14:18My uncle jumps along
14:20Big brother flies a jet plane
14:23My nephew drives a jeep
14:26Junior is a jitterbug
14:29And grandma juggles sheep
14:31My niece plays in a jazz band
14:34My granddad jimmy's doors
14:37My cousin runs a jackal farm
14:40My auntie judges boars
14:42Great uncle raises John Quills
14:46Great granddad plays the jacks
14:48My wife became a journeyman
14:51And me, well, I just stay out of their way
14:55J.
14:57All right, looking at the cookies again
15:01Tells me that Big Bird is still behind
15:05Dimples the dog, on the other hand, is doing very well
15:09In fact, he's still tied for first place with Gary Grouch
15:15So, let's see what our magic board has in store for us next
15:21A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, T, U, R
15:36And the letter is R
15:39All right, now, Dimples, don't you follow me this time
15:42You'll be good
15:43Oh, joy
15:43Stay
15:45Stay
15:51And the time is ticking away those few precious seconds, folks
15:56Will they make it back in time?
15:58I can hardly stand the excitement
16:02But I may not have to
16:04Because I think I hear someone coming back already
16:07I'm back, I'm back, and look what I've got
16:14I'm sorry, Big Bird, but you've brought back a bunny
16:18And bunny does not start with the letter R
16:21It's a rabbit, a rabbit
16:23But look at Dimples here
16:26He's not doing anything
16:27That's right, he's resting
16:30And resting begins with the letter R
16:32He's not resting, he's being a dog
16:36That's what dogs do
16:37They lie around like that
16:39Off, down
16:40I'm a rabbit
16:42I know that
16:43Tell him
16:45Oh, I'm sorry
16:47Time's up
16:54Hi, dear sinny
16:55Gary Grouch
16:57What are you doing up there?
16:59I'm cutting a hole in your ceiling
17:01Wonderful, wonderful
17:04Why?
17:05Because you keep giving me pieces of the cookie
17:08And I'm angry
17:09And for your information
17:11Hole begins with H, not R
17:17Well, will you look at this, folks?
17:21Gary Grouch cut a hole in the ceiling
17:23To let in the rain
17:26Yes, Gary Grouch
17:27Rain does start with the letter R
17:29And you've just turned your third piece of the cookie
17:37Hey, never a dull moment on the alphabet treasure hunt
17:48Oh, it looks like you're in for a treat, folks
17:51Because that's the magic board saying
17:54It's bonus letter time yet again
17:58And this time it's a triple bonus
18:01S, Q, S, and W
18:03Hey, can I do that again?
18:06Now the letter is Q
18:08And one word that begins with Q
18:11Is question

20:00Queen is a Q
20:02Word
20:02The answer is queen

22:27This weird story
22:29Of Wanda the Witch
22:30Is brought to you
22:31Courtesy of the letter W
22:34Wanda the Witch
22:36Lived somewhere
22:37West of Washington
22:40Around her waist
22:41Instead of a belt
22:43She wore a worm
22:45Wanda had a pet weasel
22:47I'm a weasel
22:49And on her head
22:51A wiry wig
22:53On Wednesday
22:54In the middle of winter
22:56Wanda walked to the well
22:58To get water
22:59To wash her wig
23:02But the wheel on the well
23:04Was worn
23:04And Wanda grew weary
23:07So she waved
23:10Her wand
23:11And her wash tub
23:12Filled with warm water
23:14But just as Wanda
23:16Was about to drop
23:17Her wig
23:17Into the warm water
23:19A wild wind
23:21Whipped the wig
23:22From her hand
23:23And blew it away
23:25Forever
23:26Which taught Wanda
23:28This lesson
23:28Witches
23:29Who wash their wigs
23:31On windy winter
23:32Wednesdays
23:33Are wacky
