- But there were these three chickens
and they had a lot of hair on their head.
- Oh wow.
- It wasn't feathers, it was hair.
- Really?
Oh wow.
- Yeah.
- Oh, hi!
- Hi!
- Welcome to Sesame Street.
Elmo's been telling me all about
a dream he had about chickens.
- Mm, the coolest chickens.
Yeah, they taught Elmo how
to dance the clucky-clucky.
It all began when Elmo
went to bed last night.
(twinkling music)
Mommy had just tucked Elmo in.
Goodnight, Dorothy.
Goodnight, Mommy!
- [Elmo's Mother] 'Night,
my little monster.
Sweet dreams.
(Elmo giggles)
- [Elmo] Then Elmo went to
sleep and began to dream.
(twinkling harp music)
First in Elmo's dream, Elmo had to learn
all these great chicken moves.

- Un-huh, un-huh.
- Yeah.
- Yeah, so now Elmo wants
to go right back to sleep
so Elmo can have that dream
all over again. (giggles)
Oh, does Maria mind if Elmo sleeps here?
- No, of course not, Elmo, but ya know,
dreams aren't like storybooks
that you can read whenever you want to.
With dreams ya never know
which one you're gonna have.
- But Maria, Elmo really, really wants
to have this dream again.
- Well then, who knows?
Maybe you will.
Sweet chicken dreams.
- Ah, thanks, Maria. (giggles)
- I'd like mail this to Udder Pradesh.
- And I would like to
deliver this to Bah-celona.
- Maria?
Could Maria sing a lullaby so
Elmo can fall asleep faster?
- Well Elmo, you can see I'm
getting a little busy here.
- This is true.
- Oink.
- She's busy.

(speaking in foreign language)
- What are you doing?
- Oh, hi Rosita.
Well Elmo had this great chicken dream.
- Mm-hm.
- So Elmo wants
to fall asleep and have it
again, but Elmo's not even tired.
- Oh, well, don't worry.
I have my guitar.
I'll sing you a lullaby.
- Oh, thanks but Maria
tried that already, Rosita.
It didn't work.
- Oh.
- Mm-mm.
- Did she sing a chicken lullaby?
- A chicken lullaby?
- Mm-hm.
- (laughs) Unh-unh.
- Well, maybe that's what you need

about (speaking in foreign

Come on, Elmo.

- Yeah.
- Okay, get ready to sleep, okay?
(singing in foreign language)
(Elmo snoring)
(kiss smacks)
I knew it would work.
I wonder if he's having his chicken dream.
(twinkling harp music)
So tell me, tell me, did
you have your chicken dream?
- No, Rosita.
- Oh.
- Elmo had a chicken and a cow dream
and it was funny. (giggles)
But Elmo still wants to
have the cool chicken dream.
- Well (speaking in foreign
language) good luck,
but I have to get my
guitar lesson with Luis
and I'm late already.
Adios!
- But Rosita!
Oh boy.
♪ La la la ♪
Hi, Elmo.
- Oh hi, Big Bird. (sighs)
- Elmo, what's the matter?
- Well, Elmo had this great chicken dream
and Elmo wants to have it again,
but even Rosita's chicken
lullaby didn't work.
- Oh.
- Oh.
- A chicken dream?
Hey, I think I could help you.
I think I've got exactly what you'd need.
Don't go away, I'll be
right back! (laughs)
And I'm back (chuckles)
and I've got a book
that's gonna solve your problem, Elmo.
- Oh good.
- Yeah, it's called I Dream of Chicken
by Doctor Petula Cluck.
I'll read what you need to know,
okay?
- Okay.
(Big Bird mimics chicken clucking)
Big Bird, Elmo doesn't speak chicken.
- Ah, silly me. (chuckles)
Sorry, I'll translate.
- Okay.
- The thing you must do
to dream about a chicken
is to stare at a chicken
right before you go to sleep.
- But Big Bird, where's
Elmo gonna find a chicken?
- Hm, let's see.
Oh, I know.
- Huh?
(Big Bird chuckles)
- We'll just do some chicken calls, yes,
that's it, chicken calls.
- Okay.
- And you can help us call, okay?
Call like we do, here we go.
(Elmo giggles)
Just go like this.
- Okay.
- Here chicky, chicky, chicky, chicky.
- [Elmo And Big Bird] Here
chicky, chicky, chicky, chicky.
- Here chicky, chicky, chicky, chicky.
- Here chicky, chicky, chicky, chicky.
- Here chicky, chicky, chicky, chicky.
Where's a chicken when Elmo needs one?
- Hm, I guess we didn't
call 'em loudly enough.
- Oh.
- Help us out.
Call really loudly this time.
Here we go.
- Yeah.
- [Elmo And Big Bird] Here
chicky, chicky, chicky, chicky.
- Here, chicky, chicky, chicky.

- Yeah?
- You're dressed like a chicken.
- Yeah. (giggles)
- Yeah well, I was just--
- Bob, Bob, Bob wait.
Oh Bob, I wanted to thank you.
You were the best chicken
in my chorus line.
- Chorus line?
- Don't ask.
- Yeah, I was rehearsing my
new musical, Cluck A Lot,
and we were one chicken
short so Bob stepped in.
- Wow, well Bob, you just made our day.
- Yeah, 'cause Elmo's been
looking for a chicken.
- Oh, well then you couldn't
have found a more perfect one.
- Ah. (giggles)
- Cluck cluck!
I mean, good luck!
- Bye, Prairie.
- Hey guys, you know, I'd really just like
to get out of this chicken suit.
- But Bob, you're the only
one who can help little Elmo.
- Yeah, please, Bob?
- Okay, what do I do?
- Oh, well Elmo wants to
have this cool chicken dream.
- And Doctor Petula Cluck
says if you wanna dream
about a chicken, you have to
go to sleep staring at one.
- Did I just hear what I think I did?
- Oh please, Bob, please?
- Okay Elmo.
- Okay.
- If it'll make you happy.
- Yeah.
- Go ahead and stare.
- Oh wait, wait, wait.
First, Elmo has to get cozy.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
- Okay.
Could chicken come a little closer?
- A little closer?
- Yeah.
- Sure.
- Closer.
- Closer?
- Closer.
- Closer.
- Closer.
- Closer.
- There.
- There?
- Now Elmo can be cozy
and stare at chicken, too.
- Uh-oh, there's something
here I didn't read before.
- [Bob] What?
- It says, (mimics chicken clucking),
which means if you want to
dream of a dancing chicken,
the chicken you stare at has to dance.
- Oh.
Well dance, Bob, dance.
- I guess it's just my lucky
day to be a dancing chicken.

- Hello there, it is I,
your furry acrobat, Grover.
I just somersaulted all the
way back from China (chuckles)
where I was visiting my friend, Boywong.
He is an acrobat, too, and he showed me
how to do some cute acrobat tricks.
Now, watch me jump through this hoop, ha.
Okay, here we go.
(footsteps tapping quickly)
Hee-ya!
Whoa!
(Grover thudding)
Oh, oh, I think I sprained,
oh, I sprained my fur.
Oh, and I did not mean
to go over the hoop.
I meant to go through the hoop.
Oh, that is a common acrobat mistake.
Let me try again.
Okay, here we go.
(footsteps tapping rapidly)
Hee, oh!
(Grover thudding)
Oh!
What happened?
Did I?
No, I didn't, I did not
go through the hoop.
Again I went to the side of the hoop.
Just give me one more
chance, please. (panting)
Okay!
This one is for the Gipper!
(footsteps tapping rapidly)
Wee, oh!
(Grover thudding)
Ooh, oh.
Oh, oh, talk about nosedives.
Oh boy, oh boy.
And I still did not go through the hoop.
Perhaps I need a smidge more practice.
Yeah, the more I practice
the better I will get,
and while I am practicing, you can watch
this highly informative film.
Hm.
(twinkling music)
(bright orchestral music)
- [Boyong] This is my
school in Beijing, China
where I'm learning how to be an acrobat.
My name is Boyong.
My father and my grandfather
were also acrobats.
When I first started, I
could only stand on one pipe,
but now I stack them up.
My classmate Ling Ling is learning a trick
on a very tall unicycle.
First, she rides it onto a huge ball.
That's amazing.
But then she balances bowls on her foot
and throws them onto her head.
There are 30 kids in my school.
They come from all over China
to learn how to be acrobats.
There are girls and boys
between eight and 15 years old.
It's very hard to get into my school.
It takes a long time and a lot of practice
to learn these tricks.
We practice for eight hours each day.
Acrobats are a Chinese tradition
that has been going on
for many, many years.
My friend Tso Tao can make 14
plates spin at the same time.
Just when he has them all spinning,
he has to run and start all over again.
He's very funny.
After we've learned how to
do our acts really well,
we have shows for an audience.
We put on fancy clothes and makeup.
How do you like my new haircut?
(dramatic music)
Many people come to see us.
It's very exciting to
be onstage for all of us
and to show how much we've learned.
(upbeat circus music)
Tonight is the first time I will climb
on five pipes for an audience.
(audience applauds)
(audience applauds)
All my friends came to see me perform
and they liked the show a lot.
It's fun to be an acrobat.
(twinkling music)
- Well, I practiced and practiced
and now once again, I, acrobat Grover,
will jump and go through the hoop.
Jump.
Ha ha ha!
Ta da!
I did it, I went through the hoop!
Oh, Boywong will be so proud.
- [Children] Global Thingy!
- Hello.

No?
Neither do I. (laughs)

of Joe Hundredguy.
Tonight, after weeks of anticipation,
Joe will finally count to 100 by 10s.
And now, without further adieu,
I bring you Joe Hundredguy!
(fanfare music)

is waiting to hear you count
to 100 by 10s, Joe Hundredguy.

tuning in week after week.
Now the moment you've
all been waiting for,
Joe Hundredguy will count to 100 by 10s.
- I have a confession to make.
- What is it, Joe Hundredguy?
- I can't do it.
- What did you say, Joe Hundredguy?
- I can't do it!
I can't count to 100 by 10s!
- But we trusted you, Joe Hundredguy.
- I know
and I'm sorry! (crying)
- Week after week
you told us you could count
to 100 by 10s, Joe Hundredguy!
- I know!
I know, I wanted to do it,
but I don't know how! (crying)
- Oh, oh, oh,
there, there.
- Hold me.
- There, there, there, oh stop it.
It's very easy, Joe Hundredguy.
- Is it?
- Yes, it is.
Now stand up, stand up, stiff upper lip.

All you have to do is repeat after me.

(butler laughing)
I did it! (laughs)
- You really are Joe Hundredguy.
- Actually, I have another
confession to make.
- Doh, what is it Joe Hundredguy?
- That's not my real name.
- Your name's not Hundredguy?
- No, it's Burnbaum.
- Oh Joe.
Joe, Joe, Joe, I give up on you, Joe.
- Georgie.
- Hm?
- Georgie Burnbaum from The Bronx.
(butler scoffs)
Hey, can I keep that plant?

Let's ask Mr. Noodle.

different sound, Dorothy.
This is the sound an owl makes.
Hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot, hoot.

This is sound a rooster makes.
Cock-a-doodle-doo!
Cock-a-doodle-doo!

This is how a turkey goes.
Gobble, gobble, gobble.

Oh look, email from Elmo's friend Bert.
(giggles) And Bert's pigeon, Bernice.
Oh boy! (giggles)
(computer beeps)
- Hi, Elmo.
I have Bernice here
with me because Bernice
wants to show you the
sound a pigeon makes.
(sighs) And how I love that sound.
So, take it away, Bernice!
Okay, Bernice.
Any time now, Bernice.
Bernice, what seems to
be the problem here?
Oh don't be shy.
She's a little shy. (laughs)
Come on, show 'em what
the sound a pigeon makes.
Come on, coo.
Coo. (sighs)
She must not be in a cooing mood.
What, Bernice, what was that?
I thought she said something.
Anyway, we'll just say goodbye for now.
Say goodbye, Bernice.
(computer beeps)
- Coo, coo!
Okay, Computer.
Now where was Elmo?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
And now, Elmo has a
question for you! (laughs)
How many eggs can this goose lay?
Let's count them and see.
Hello, goose.
Go ahead.
Go ahead.
- [Elmo And Children] One, two, three,
four, five,
six, seven,
eight, nine,
10, 11, 12.
- Oh 12, great counting, everybody!
Let's hear it for the goose!
- [Elmo And Children] Yay!
- Oh, she left a feather. (laughs)
That tickles. (laughs)
Silly goose. (giggles)
Geese lay eggs, so do ducks.
Elmo's friend Cassidy has
a duck that laid some eggs
and she told Elmo all about it.
(upbeat fiddle music)
- [Cassidy] I live on a farm.
On our farm we have ducks,
and one of the ducks is named Tracy.
She built her nest in our barnyard,
and one day Tracy laid
some eggs in her nest.
My mom said that baby ducks
would hatch out of the eggs.
Baby ducks are called ducklings.
I couldn't wait for
the ducklings to hatch,
but first Tracy had to sit on her eggs
for a long time to keep them warm.
(Tracy quacking)
She sat in the sun.
She sat at night.
(thunder rumbles)
She sat in the rain.
She sat and sat and sat.
She sat on the eggs for almost four weeks.
I thought those baby ducks
would never come out.
Then one day my mom and I
heard a little pecking sound.
(Tracy quacking)
Tracy's eggs were hatching.
First the ducklings broke
through their shells,
and then out popped the baby ducks.
(baby ducks chirping)
It was amazing.
First they were all wet,
but soon they were dry
and fluffy and running around.
I like ducklings a lot,
and I was really happy
when they finally hatched.
And so was Tracy.
(playful music)
- Aren't those ducklings cute? (giggles)
Tracy built a nice nest for
her ducklings on the farm.
Hm, that makes Elmo wonder,
where else can birds build their nest?
Elmo wants to know, don't you?
Let's find out. (hums)
(Drawer tweeting)
Oh there you are. (laughs)
The drawer sounds just like a bird.
Tweet.
(Drawer chirps)
Tweet, tweet, tweet.
(Drawer chirps)
Tweet!
(bright music)
Can birds build their nest in a tree,
on the moon, or in a bathtub?
- [Children] In a tree!
- [Elmo] Yeah!
Birds build their nests in a tree.
Can a bird build a nest on a telephone,
a house, or a birthday cake?
- [Children] In a house.
In a house.
- [Elmo] Yeah, a house. (giggles)
Can a bird build a nest on a cow,
on a ball, or on Sesame Street?
- [Children] Sesame Street!
- [Child] That looks like Big Bird's nest.
- [Elmo] Hi Big Bird!
- I love my nest. (laughs)
(bright music)
(Drawer tweeting)
- Thanks, Drawer.
Oh, Elmo wants to learn
more about birds, don't you?
How can we find out more?
(computer beeping)
Oh yeah, that's right.
We can watch the Bird Channel.
Yay!
(birds chattering)
Oh wow, the birds wanna
watch the Bird Channel, too.
Okay, oh.
(birds chattering)
Quiet, birds, so we can watch.
(computer beeping)
(bird chirping)
Elmo doesn't wanna hear
another peep. (giggles)
Oh, turn yourself on, TV.
(upbeat music)

Hey wait, no wait, wait, wait, wait.
Don't go.
Elmo wants to find out more about birds.
How can we find out more?
(bird chirping)
- Would ya like a little
birdie to tell you?
- Oh hello, little birdie.
- Hi, I'm a robin.
- Oh, so a robin has a beak and feathers,
ooh, just like chickens do.
- Yup, all birds have beaks and feathers.
- Well what sound does a robin make?
- I sing like this.
(robin chirping)
- Wow, pretty sound.

Elmo flying like a bird.
Tweet tweet, tweet tweet, tweet tweet.
- [Robin] But not all
birds can fly, ya know.
- Uh-oh. (cries out)
- [Robin] Penguins can't
fly but they can swim.
First, they slide on the ice.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
- [Robin] Then they splash into the water.
(Elmo giggles)
Some birds can't swim
or fly, like peacocks,
but they still have a lot of feathers.
(twinkling magical music)
- Wow, cool, huh? (laughs)
- Yup, there are lots of
ways for birds to get around.
- Yeah, thanks Robin.

Chapter 453 in The
Adventures of Trash Gordon.
- Wee!
(dramatic music)
- [Oscar] The last time we
saw our hero, Trash Gordon,
he was on the planet Honk
where he was surrounded
by a hoard of honking honkers.
(aliens honking)
They were horning in on our hero,
but Trash knew exactly how
to handle honking honkers.
In the blink of an eye
he whipped out a dinger
and his rubber ducky.
(duck squeaks)
And they all had a honker
ducky dinger jamboree.
(playful music)
Our hero was safe once again.
As Trash slapped his thigh heroically
to the beat he said...
- Sesame Street has been
brought to you today
by the letter T
and the number 20.
- Wee!
More, more, more!
- No, no more now, Slimy.
That's all for now.
(Slimy whimpers)
It's time for you to get
some shuteye, little guy.
We'll read some more Trash tomorrow.
(upbeat music)
Hey, are you still here?
I told ya, no more Trash
Gordon until tomorrow.
