You know what there's more, alright.
Now the fun of this game

Do you see anything
that starts with P Elmo?
- Not yet.

I shall peruse the paper.

Puh, puh.

sandwich on pumpernickel
with a potato and a pineapple.
- Hey Alan!

starts with the letter P.
- Ooh, ooh Elmo has an idea.
- What.
- Can you give Elmo and Zoe a hint, Alan.
- Okay, um, let's see.
There's something with the letter P sound
very nearby.
- Oh, where?
Where, I don't see it.
- Yeah.
Oh, Zoe.
Let's ask Mr. Penguin.
- Oh, good idea.
Excuse me, Mr. Penguin.
We're looking for something
nearby that starts with P.
Can you help us Mr...

Oh Hooper's Store.
Hi Zoe, hi Elmo.
What's going on?

- Yeah.
- Positively.
Hey, by the way, I'm from Pittsburgh.
- So Abby, you got to look for things
that start with the letter P.
- Ah, wait, I know a puh-puh P-word.
It's my trick.
- Wait a minute, trick
doesn't start with P Abby.
- Oh I mean, what I do with my trick.
Lumpkin, bumpkin, diddle, diddle dumpkin
Zumpkin, frumpkin, change into a pumpkin.
(everyone cheering)
Pumpkin starts with P.
- Great trick.
- Hey, we should have some
pumpkin pie for desert.
- Um, I think I'm gonna need
my salt-shaker back, Abby.
- Party pooper.
- Oh, wait, I know another P word.
(magical music)
- Where did she go?
(Elmo mumbles)
- I'm out here everybody.
- Where's here?
Where's my pickled pepper patch?
- Hey, guess who this is?
He's from a nursery rhyme.
- I picked this pickled pepper and poof!
- Oh, it's Peter Piper,
from the nursery rhyme.
- Yeah, picking his
pack of pickled peppers.
- Yeah. (laughing)
- More P-words.
- Wow, Abby is getting
really good at this game.
- Where's my pickled pepper patch?
I need to pick a pack of pickled peppers.
Anyone seen my peppers perhaps?
- I just thought of another P-word.
(magical music)
- Can you guess who this is?
- Cinderella! Oh Cinderella!
- Can you guess, huh, huh?
- Hey, where'd my castle go.
- I know, I know, is it
puh, puh, Prince Charming
from the fairytale Cinderella.
- Actually the name's
Prince Paul Charming.
- Yay, I did it.
P is for Prince and Paul.
- Oh Cindy, where are you?
Yoohoo, I've got the glass
slipper, I just need a foot.
- Peppers, I need pickled peppers.
Have you seen my pepper
patch, Prince Paul?
- Pepper, pepper, sounds familiar, no.
Have you seen Cinderella?
- No.
Peppers! Peppers! I need you.
- Cinderella, Cinderella!
Are you Cinderella?
- No, I'm Zoe.
- Oh, maybe the shoe fits you then.
- No, no, it's too tight.
- You're right, I must find Cinderella.
Oh, perhaps in there.
- I didn't have pumpkin pie,
but here's coconut custard.
- Perfectly passable.
- Pardon me please.
I need to pick peppers.
Have you seen any peppers?
- Gee, um, no.
Hey, aren't you Peter Piper?
- Why yes, and I need peppers.
I am a pepper picker.
Any peppers over here?
- Huh, pushy.
- Hello, I'm Prince Paul.
Maybe the shoe fits you.
- Huh?
- No, has anybody ever told
you you've got penguin feet?
- Pah.
- How about you?
Wanna try the shoe?
- Er, I don't think so.
- Alright.
Cinderella! Cinderella!
- Peter Piper, Prince Paul.
You know I think this has something to do
with the letter P game.
- Possibly.
- Peppers!
I need my pickled pepper patch.
- Cinderella! Cinderella,
I need Cinderella.
- Have you seen my pepper patch?
- Are you Cinderella?
- No, I'm Abby Cadabby, and
I brought to Sesame Street
for the letter P game.
- Well then, I demand to
be returned to my kingdom.
Cinderella's foot is
waiting for the slipper
and we need to live happily ever after.
- My patch of pickled peppers is waiting.
- I guess you better send them back Abby.
- Oh gee, I don't know
how to send you back.
- But, but Abby went and got them.
- But I haven't learned
to send people back yet,
I can just go get them.
- You mean, we can't go home again.
- Oh my poor pickled peppers.
- Oh my Cinderella!
- Hold on, there must be a
way to solve this problem.
Oh, oh, how does a fairy godmother
usually send people back?
- Well, my mommy always
says a special rhyming spell
and waves her wand.
- Okay, so how about you
make up your own rhyme
to send them back.
- But what if Abby did, will it work?
- Well I can try, but I need some help.
- Oh, Elmo's good at rhyming.
- Oh and me too.
- Okay, a rhyme about going home, okay.
- Peter Piper and Prince Paul
no need to pack, it's
time for me to send you...
Oh what's the word I want?
It needs to rhyme with pack.
- Sack rhymes with pack.
- Oh, good one Zoe.
- Time for me to send you sack.
- It didn't work.
- Oh, how about mac.
- Oh mac, okay.
It's time for me to send you mac.
Oh no.
- Yak, how about yak?
- Or gibbityy-gack.
- No, that's not it.
- Do you know the word
that they're looking for?
- Attack.
- Rack.
- Cu-coo-cachack.
- Oh, I don't know, if I
don't think of the right word
I'll never be able to send them back.
- They're gone!
- Wait, wait, wait, see,
see Abby you said back.
And back rhymes with pack.
- Yeah, you did it Abby.
- Yaay!
- Well done Abby.
At last things are calm again.
- Wait, I just thought of another P-word.
(magical music)
- Oh, Abby, please, no, no Abby!
- Elmo wonders who Abby's
bringing back this time?
- Maybe Pinocchio.
- I'm not sure that we're ready for this.
(magical music)
- P for pillow.
- Oh pillow, great P-word.
- Perfect.
- Time for my nap (sighing).
- Pleasant dreams.

- Do you know what word I love.
Pumpernickel.
Isn't pumpernickel a fantastic word.
Pumpernickel, pumpernickel, pumpernickel.
Come on, say it with me.
Pumpernickel.
This is pumpernickel.
Pumpernickel is a kind of bread.
Pumpernickel is brown
and pumpernickel (munching)
Hm, mmm, mm, pumpernickel is delicious.
Hmm, pumpernickel.
- [Girl] Mmm, fresh bread.
Do you know where bread comes from?
It comes from wheat.
We grew wheat at our school
and learned how to make bread.
First we turned over the dirt
and mixed it with fertilizer.
After that, we threw
the seeds on the ground.
We stomped them down with our feet.
And pretty soon, wheat started to grow.
Taller and taller and taller.
When it turned brown, we cut it.
To make bread, the only
part you need are the seeds.
We used big rulers to knock
them off their stocks.
We shook the seeds to get the shells off.
They were so light, we
just blew them away.
You have to grind the
seeds, it's hard work.
Finally time to make the dough.
You mix flour, water, salt, oil and yeast.
Everyone took turns stirring.
We pushed the dough around on the table.
That's called kneading.
It feels squishy between your fingers.
You can make a lot of different
shapes with the dough,
even braids.
Time to bake the bread.
When it came out of the oven, we ate it.
And do you know which
bread tastes the best?
The bread you make yourself.
(orchestral music)

- What's today's heroic adventure?
- Well today, Hero-Guy, I
am going to draw a picture
of my favorite nursery rhyme.
Hey diddle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
the cow jumped over the moon.
- Ooh, sounds heroic.
- Hey and you know what, I
think I'll start with the moon.
- But what heroic thing can I do?
- Well, oh you know
what, you can be the cow
who jumped over the moon.
- Me?
- Mmm-hmm.
- No problem.
I shall now, with my heroic
superpowers, become a cow.
- Terrific.
- Oink, oink, oink.
- Hero-Guy!
- What?
- That's a pig.
I don't think we're in cow territory.
- Really?
Well, how's this?
(rooster crowing)
Hero-Guy!
- What?
- Rooster, yes.
Cow, no.
- Gotcha.
Have no fear, cow will appear.
Ha, how am I doing huh?
- Well um, well that's pretty hip.
But it's not a cow, Hero-Guy.
Now you're a hippopotamus.
Uh, Hero-Guy.
Think moo.
- Think moo.
Think moo, think moo.
Ta-daa!
(mooing)
- Alright, now we're talking cow.
Okay, Hero-Guy are you
ready to jump over the moon.
- Positively.
I am ready.
Wait a minute, I like being the hippo.
- Yeah, but that's not how
the rhyme goes Hero-Guy.
The rhyme goes, hey diddle-diddle,
the cat and the fiddle,
the cow jumped over the moon.
- Yeah, but you're the
artist, you can change it.
- Hey good point.
Okay, we're ready.
Hey diddle-diddle, the cat and the fiddle,
the hippo--
- Hold it!
Where's the cat and the fiddle?
- Oh no, I haven't drawn them yet.
- So, a bear can play the fiddle.
- You know what, that might work Hero-Guy,
I'm coming in.
(fiddling)
Hey diddle-diddle, the
bear and the fiddle.
The hippo jumped over the moon.
(fiddling)
The little bear laughed to
see such sport. (laughing)
And the hippo will be back soon.
(fiddling)
You were terrific.

Good try Kyle, better

- Oh, what do you have to do
to get some service in this place?
- Hello there sir.
- Oh no, not you!
- Yes sir, it is I, Grover
your rhyming waiter.
- My what?
- Your rhyming waiter.
Today is rhyming day at Charlie's.
Whatever you pick to eat.
I will rhyme it and then
you will get it, get it?
- Yes I get it, but what's the reason?
- Oh no reason, just rhyme.
For example, let us say
you order some cheese.
I will think of a word
that sounds like cheese.
For instance, um, that is a toughie.
Cheese, er.
- Oh please!
- Very good sir, please
rhymes with cheese.
But I am the rhyming waiter not you.
So I have to think of a rhyme for cheese
or you cannot get your cheese.
- I don't want cheese.
- Well then why am I trying to rhyme it?
- All I want is a tuna on rye.
- Oh, well alright.
Tuna on rye, the customer
has changed his mind.
Not a problem.
I will just think of a
word that rhymes with rye.
Rye.
Rye, rye, uh.
- Sigh, tie, lie, cry.
- All of those words
do rhyme with rye sir.
But I have to do the rhyming
remember, it is my job.
- Why do I come here?
Why?
- Why rhymes too but
I did not think of it.
Rye, rye, rye.
You would think this would
be as easy as apple pie.
(sigh)
- You did it.
- Did what sir?
- You rhymed pie with rye.
Rye and pie sound the same.
- Oh, I am a poet and
I do not even know it.
- Oh, I did it again, did you see that?
- I'm hungry.
- Yes, of course sir, the
customer is always right.
I will be right back with your order.
- Oh, at last.
- Oh this looks so tasty.
Here you are sir, one
hot slice of apple pie.
- I didn't order apple pie.
I ordered tuna on rye.
The pie rhymed with the rye.
- Oh, I am so sorry sir.
It is not easy being a poet.
I think it was Shelley who once said--
- Just bring me my lunch please.
- Yes sir, with pleasure.
- Oh, wherever I go he's always there.
- Okay Charlie, whatever you say.
I am sorry sir, but we are
all out of tuna on rye.
- Oh.
- Perhaps you should not
have waited so long to order.
- But...
Alright, just bring me a cheese burger.
- Yes sir, one cheese
burger sir, coming right up.
But what rhymes with cheese burger.
- Ohhh.
- No, do not help me I
have to do this myself.
Should be easy.
Cheese burger.
- Linoleum.

Yeah, over there.
Hi Mr. Noodle.
Dorothy has a question Mr. Noodle.
How do you pretend to be a penguin?
- [Kid] So be a penguin
Mr. Noodle, be a penguin.
(monkey screeching)
No, that's a monkey Mr. Noodle.
That's not being a penguin.
- [Elmo] He's making a
monkey out of himself.
- [Kid] Mr. Noodle.
Be like a penguin.
Mr. Noodle!
You're being a chicken,
that's not a penguin.
- [Elmo] It's a bird,
but it's not a penguin.
- [Kid] Think penguin, you
know, how a penguin walks.
It waddles when it walks.
- [Elmo] Yeah, it's white
in front and black in back.
It looks like it's wearing a tuxedo.
A tuxedo.
- [Kid] Where is he going?
Mr. Noodle.
He's in a tuxedo, with flippers.
- [Elmo] By jove, he's got it.
- [Kid] Now that's being a penguin.
Great pretending.
Now he's got it.
Oh, more penguins.
He even fooled the penguins.
- [Elmo] Mr. Noodle.
- [Kid] Waddle, waddle, waddle,
who knows how to be a penguin.
- Oh that Mr. Noodle.
He could get a job as a penguin.
What's that Dorothy?
Oh, Dorothy wants to ask someone else.
How do you pretend to be a penguin?
- Here's how I pretend
I'm a penguin Dorothy.
I hold my arms out like
flippers and I take little steps
and go side to side.
- Hi Dorothy, we can pretend
to be three penguins.
- Penguins are really good swimmers.
- Thanks everybody and thanks Dorothy.
Now Elmo will ask a baby.
Here's how Elmo pretends to be a penguin.
Waddle, waddle, waddle.
Hello baby.
Hello baby, how do you
pretend to be a penguin?
(laughing) oh thank you baby.
Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss.
Now, Elmo has a question
for a-a-a-all you.
Yeah you.
How many penguins are sliding on ice?
Let's count them and see.
Oh penguins.
One.
Two.
Three.
Four.
Five.
Six.
Seven.
Eight.
Nine.
10.
10 penguins and one sea-lion.
It bowled them over.
Great counting everybody.
Penguins sliding on ice.
That makes Elmo wonder,
how do they stay warm.
Let's find out okay.
Oh drawer.
How do penguins stay warm?
Oh, ha ha, everybodies a penguin today.
Do penguins wear long
underwear to stay warm?
- [Kid] No, that's silly.
- [Elmo] Do they wear an overcoat?
- [Kid] No, they swim, they
can't swim in an overcoat.
- [Elmo] Do they wear anything?
- [Kid] No, they wear nothing.
They have feathers.
Their feathers keep them
warm even when they swim.
- [Elmo] Does a penguin wear a muffler.
- [Kids] No.
- [Elmo] Except if he's Big Bird's cousin.
- This is my cousin Blubber.
My granny bird knitted
him a nice warm muffler
because he lives at the pole.
- Hi y'all.
- The South Pole.
- Y'all got a catfish.
- Thanks drawer.
And now--
- Elmo has mail, Elmo has mail.
- Elmo has mail, yay.
Computer come back here.
- Elmo has mail, Elmo has mail
Computer's a penguin today too.
- Elmo has mail.
- Okay, calm down mouse, thank you.
Oh yay, Elmo has an email from
Grover with some penguins.
Surprise.
- Hi Elmo, it is I, your
f-frozen friend Grover
at the South Pole for the famous moment
when once a year the penguins
fly back to Capistrano.
- We'd like to help you
pal, but we can't fly there.
- Why not?
- Because penguins don't fly.
- What!
You do not fly.
How can that be?
You are birds, you have wingy-things.
- Oh, they're flippers.
- For swimming.
We swim, we don't fly.
- Well, of course you do not fly.
You're flapping all wrong.
Yeah, you have to flap like this.
Come on flap with me now.
Think, Capistrano.
- Capistrano.
Capistrano.
Capistrano.
Capistrano.
- I will settle for Coco Manga.
- Coco Manga, Coco Manga.
I'm flapping.
- What, no lift off.
- That's what we told you pal.
Penguins don't fly.
- So Elmo, correction, today the penguins
will not fly back to Capistrano.
- Hey, hey.
- What?
- We could swim to Capistrano.
- We could yeah.
- They will swim back to Capistrano.
So long Elmo.
Any swallows around here.
- Thanks computer.
- Elmo's friend John just loves penguins,
so his dad took him to the
zoo to see real live ones.
And he told Elmo all about it.
- My dad works at Atlantis
Marine World Aquarium.
He takes care of the penguins there.
And sometimes I go along to help.
They live in a special place.
They have a big pool to swim in.
And there are cubby holes to nest in.
Penguins are birds and they
lay eggs like other birds.
They have a beach area to walk around in
and there's a neat tunnel
that goes under the beach area
and comes up under a glass dome.
So people can go in and watch
the penguins right up close.
Penguins walk standing up, like people.
They take short steps.
It's called waddling.
They even sleep standing up.
They clean themselves with their beaks,
it's called preening.
We wash down the beach
area to keep it clean
and we feed them fish.
They really come quickly when
they know it's lunch time.
They love fish.
They can swallow a whole fish.
Awesome.
But you have to be careful,
cause they have sharp beaks.
And after lunch, they like to go swimming.
And can they swim.
They like to do things together.
They are outstanding.
- Yeah, Elmo likes penguins too.
Elmo wants to know even more about them.
Don't you?
Let me find out even more.
Oh, it's T.V.
Yup, we can watch the penguin channel.
Turn yourself on T.V.
- [TV] It's the penguin channel.

Oooh, hello.
- Why don't you ask an Emperor Penguin.
We're the biggest of all penguins.
You may call me Caesar.
- Hail Caesar. (royal fanfare)
- An Emperor Penguin.
- Since you ask, I will
tell you about myself.
This is my imperial beak.
- Caesar's beak. (royal fanfare)
- I use it to eat fishes.
- [Elmo] Cover your ears Dorothy.
- And go aaark.
- Caesar's aaark.
- And here are my handsome webbed feet.
- Caesar's feet. (royal fanfare)
- And these are my fabulous flippers.

We penguins spend most
of our lives swimming.
- Most of our lives
swimming. (royal fanfare)
Oh stop that.
- Oh look, look, look!
Dorothy's imagining Elmo as
a penguin going swimming.
(dreamy music)
- You make quite a
splash as a penguin lad.
- Quite a splash. (royal fanfare)
- Yay, Elmo loves
penguins so does Dorothy.
That's why Dorothy wants us
to sing that penguin song.
Okay, now sing along with Elmo.

- See you at the South Pole.
- You all hurry down now.
- There, okay Marco you all cozy?
Yeah, okay.
How about a bedtime story.
Yeah.
How about another adventure
of Gina the veterinarian.
Okay, so, today Gina the veterinarian,
also known as mommy,
made a house-call to the jungle
to help a ferocious
wild animal in distress.
(meowing)
Oh!
There was a worried jungle cat.
Oh you poor thing, you look like
you have a splinter in your paw.
Oh don't worry, I can take care of that.
So, Gina pulled out her
veterinarian's tweezer
and said,
Sesame Street was brought to you today
by the letter P and by the number 10.
Then she removed the splinter
from the ferocious cat's paw.
(purring and meowing)
Yes I know.
Better?
Having saved another animal in distress.
Gina the veterinarian
tucked her son into bed.
Bye now.
(Sesame street theme tune)
