Sesame Street Let's Count TM & ©2008 Sesame Workshop (Complete Story) Susan Michelle Miller helps Elmo count With love Dad Poor Elmo! Everyone was ready for the big hike through the park but him. Susie Michelle Miller, age 4, from Birmingham, AL, found Elmo sitting sadly on the steps of 123 Sesame Street. "What's the matter, Elmo?" asked Sue, swinging a backpack. Elmo sighed. "Elmo is supposed to bring 10 sandwiches on the hike, but Elmo isn't good at counting to 10." "Come on, I'll help you," said Sue. "Mary, Jane and George always help me when I need it. That's what friends are for!" With help from Sue, the sandwiches were soon ready and everyone set off on the hike. As they hiked, they heard a loud growl. "Yikes!" yelped Bert. "Bears!" Ernie laughed. "Nope. That's just my tummy telling me it's time for a snack." His tummy growled again. "Who has the backpack?" asked Sue. "There are snacks inside." "Elmo has one backpack," said Elmo, as Big Bird pulled some apples from the pack. "Yum, yum, two apples. One for Elmo and one for Ernie's hungry tummy." The path led to a wide stream. "Watch me!" shouted Prarie Dawn. "I won't get wet." She jumped across the brook on some stones. "Elmo can you count the stones?" asked Sue. "Yes, yes. Three stones." Elmo hopped across. Hop, hop, hop. Pop, pop, pop! Three heads popped out of the water. "Look Elmo," laughed Sue. "Those stones were really turtles!" "Elmo can count turtles, too!" said Elmo. "One, two, three!" In a sunny spot beside the brook, Sue spotted something else for Elmo to count. "Take a look at those bumps on the log," Sue said. "Ooooh. One, two, three, four lumpy bumps on a log," counted Elmo. "Four bumps that look like..." Ribbit, ribbit, croak, croak! The four bumps jumped away. Sue grinned. "Four lumpy frogs like bumps on a log! Mary, Jane and George would sure like to see those funny frogs." When they reached a bright green meadow, everyone ran and played in the long grass. "I spy five things, Elmo," Said Sue. "Can you guess what they are?" "Where? What?" said Elmo. "Elmo sees lots of things." "I'll give you a hint," said Sue. "The five things I see are little and green and squiggle a lot." "Okay, Elmo will look for five little green things that squiggle." "Hey Sue! Elmo saw five little green, squiggly caterpillars," shouted Elmo. "You're getting very good at counting, Elmo," said Sue. "Listen, can you hear the knocks?" Tap! Tap! Tap! Elmo listened carefully. Tap! Tap! Tap! "Elmo hears six knocks." "Yes!" said Sue. "See, high in the tree, six birds pecking away." Next, Sue and her friends hiked to a small waterfall. Sue picked up a shiny pebble and tossed it into the pool beneath the falls. it landed with a mighty splash. K E R P L U N K! Elmo gathered seven stones. But, before he could pitch the first pebble, some fish popped up and yelled, "Hey, cut that out!" "Whoops! Sorry, you guys." Sue gulped. "Uh, how many fish do you see, Elmo?" "Eight fish," said Elmo. "Eight ANGRY fish. Let's get out of here!" "Do you want to play a game?" said Sue as they hiked through some tall pine trees. "Let's see who can find the most pine cones." Elmo looked the hardest. He found more than all the others. "Elmo has nine! Nine pine cones." Elmo groaned. "Help! Elmo can't carry nine pine cones, Sue." "Don't worry, we'll help you plant them so they'll grow into trees," said Sue. "Nine pine trees are almost a forest." By now, everyone was hungry. Sue picked a picnic spot and said, "Let's eat!" Big Bird poured the lemonade. Ernie and Bert passed out cookies. Prarie Dawn unpacked grapes. "My tummy's hungry again," said Ernie. "Where are the sandwiches, Elmo?" I hope you brought a lot!" "Elmo and Sue made ten sandwiches," said Elmo. He counted them out slowly. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten!" "Ten sandwiches sure is a lot," said Ernie, munching happily. "Congratulations, Elmo," said Sue. "Today you counted one backpack, two apples, three turtles, four frogs, five caterpillars, six birds, seven pebbles, eight fish, nine pine cones, and ten sandwiches, all by yourself." "Sue is right," Elmo said. "Elmo DID count all that." Sue smiled. It'll be fun telling Mary, Jane and George about the fun stuff you counted when I get home to Birmingham, AL." "You can tell them one more funny thing Elmo counted," giggled Elmo. "Look Sue! One sandwich being carried away by ten ants!" Return to order form.
