- Ooh, whoa.
Look at that.
Boy, that is a delicious looking apple.
Elmo is kinda hungry.
Elmo will eat it.
Wait a minute.
Elmo wonders what letter
apple starts with.
Did you see that?
Oh!
That apple's moving.
Whoa, what's that?
(laughs) It's Slimey.
Hey Slimey.
And Slimey's got a letter, a letter A.
A, apple.
Oh, yeah, apple!
Apple starts the letter A.
Oh, thanks a lot, Slimey.
Well, but Elmo will not eat the apple.
Because Elmo's not hungry anymore.
Elmo has lost his, A for appetite.
(giggles) Another A word.
Bye bye.
Come on, Slimey.
Yeah, very good.

Mm-hm, yes.
That is why I have the

I am sporting the fantastic letter F.
Do you know what sound the letter F makes?
It makes F sound.
Come on, make the F sound with me.

Very good.
In fact, I would even say
that is fabulous. (laughs)
Now in honor of the letter F,
I will do something that
begins with the letter F.
Yes, I will fly.
Yes, okay.
Here we go.
Fly!
(Grover grunts)
Okay, let me try that

- [Narrator] And now the
story of The Kingdom of O.
Once upon time, there was a kingdom
called The Kingdom of O,
where everything began with the letter O.
- Queen Olivia.
- Yes, King Oliver.
- Would you pass those
overcooked onions please?
- Oh, yes of course.
- [Narrator] And then one day
along came a weary traveler.
- Elmo's a weary traveler.
- Why are you so weary, traveler?
- Oh, Elmo was weary because
Elmo has been traveling
the whole world looking
for The Kingdom of E,
but Elmo hasn't found it yet.
- Oh, well, I wish we could help you,
but this is The Kingdom of O.
See all the Os?
- Oh yeah, Os all over the place.
- Mm-hm.
- Oh, just Elmo's luck.
(sighs) Oh hey, hey, wait a minute.
Maybe just Mr. King and Mrs. Queen
can help Elmo, the weary traveler.
- [Both] How?
- Maybe Mr. King and Mrs. Queen
could change their kingdom
to The Kingdom of E.
- Change our kingdom?
- Well, I don't know.
- Oh please, Mrs. Queen and Mr. King.
Elmo is such a weary traveler.
Elmo doesn't want to
travel anymore looking
for The Kingdom of E.
Oh, please, please help Elmo.
Please, oh please.
- Well, come to think
of it, it would be nice
to change our kingdom to The Kingdom of E
to help this weary traveler.
- Yes, but how?
I am Queen Olivia and you are King Oliver.
Our names begin with O, not E.
- Well well, Mrs. Queen and Mr. King
could change their names.
Yeah yeah, King Oliver
could be, let's see.
Oh, King Ed.
And Queen Olivia could
be, ooh ooh, Queen Edna.
- That's a wonderful idea.
Ed and Edna begin with E.
- Yes, but we still have
letter Os everywhere.
On our clothes and on the walls.
- Yeah.
- You know, or even
eating overcooked onions.
- Oh, yes.
Tis a problem.
- Tis.
- No no no, it isn't.
We'll call the royal
tailor, the royal painter,
and the royal cook.
- Oh, good idea.
- Royal tailor!
- Royal painter!
- [All] Royal cook!
- Yes?
- Yes, sire?
- Change all the letter Os
in the kingdom to letter Es.
- All of them?
- Right away.
- All of them.
And please get rid of
these overcooked onions.
I never really liked them.
- Oh.
- Yes, onward.
- Yeah.
- Go on.
- This could work.
Yeah.
- There, now there are Es on the walls
and Es on our clothes.
- Yes, and look at what's
for lunch, enchiladas.
Enchiladas start with E.
- Yum.
- Yum.
Oh, oh, thank you.
Thank you, King Ed and Queen Edna.
- There you go, try that.
- Oh oh, thank you.
Oh, you have made Elmo very happy.
- Oh, good.
- Yeah, happy happy happy.
- Oh, glad to hear it.
Now let's eat.
- [Narrator] And so The Kingdom of O
became The Kingdom of E.
And the weary traveler
wasn't weary anymore.
- Very edible. (laughs)
(snoring)
- [Narrator] But the royal
tailor, the royal painter,
and the royal cook, they were very weary.
The end.

You look like a gentleman

- No, I can assure you I
do not need a letter V.
- Well then perhaps I can interest you
in something that begins
with the letter V.
Like this violin.
- I'm just trying to relax in the park.
I don't need a violin.
- Then perhaps you would
enjoy some healthy vegetables.
- I'm not in the mood for
any vegetables either.
- Okay, but I am sure you
will enjoy this lovely vase
with some violets.
- I have no use for violets in a vase.
- How about a vacuum?
- Hey, hey, watch where
you point that thing?
- Oh, oh!
There go the violets.
- Whoa, turn that vacuum off!
- Oh no, there goes the vegetables.
(Grover grunting)
Oh no, that was valuable.
- Would you get rid of that thing?
- But if I get rid of the vacuum, sir,
you have nothing left that
starts with the letter V.
- I already something that
begins the letter V, okay?
I have a vest.
- The vacuum stopped.
Thank you for your help, sir.
Now, if you'll excuse me,
I will take my letter V and vamoose.
- (moans) I need a vacation.
