ERNIE: Hello, there.
My friend and I here are going to show you a
little bit about eating.
COOKIE MONSTER: Hi.
ERNIE: Now, in a few moments, he is going to give you an
actual demonstration of how to use the
knife, fork, and spoon.
COOKIE MONSTER: Now, now eat, huh, right?
ERNIE: No, no, no, not yet.
Not yet.
In, a few moments, I said, remember?
OK, now the first thing we're going to talk about
is the knife, OK?
Now, see this?
This is a knife.
COOKIE MONSTER: Knife.
ERNIE: Now, you use the knife to do things
like cutting meat.
COOKIE MONSTER: Meat, eat, eat, eat.
ERNIE: No, no, no, no.
I didn't say, eat.
I said meat.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh.
ERNIE: OK.
Now, you use the knife to cut the meat.
You also use a knife to spread things like butter--
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, butter.
ERNIE: --or jelly--
COOKIE MONSTER: --or jelly--
ERNIE: And peanut butter--
COOKIE MONSTER: --peanut butter--
ERNIE: --on your bread.
COOKIE MONSTER: Um.
ERNIE: OK?
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, yeah.
ERNIE: That's the use of the knife.
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, knife, knife.
ERNIE: Now, the next thing is the fork.
COOKIE MONSTER: Fork.
ERNIE: And here is a fork.
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.
ERNIE: Now, you can tell it's a fork, because it's got these
four little pointy things on the ends of it, see.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh.
ERNIE:
See?
Now that's what a fork is.
Now, you use a fork to pick up things like meat.
COOKIE MONSTER: Meat, eat, eat, eat, eat.
ERNIE: See?
No, no, no, no, I didn't say eat.
I said meat.
You use a fork to pick up the meat.
You use it also to pick up vegetables.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, vegetables.
ERNIE: See?
And you also use the fork to hold the meat still while
you're cutting it with your knife.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh.
ERNIE: Isn't that neat?
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.
ERNIE: See that?
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.
ERNIE: OK.
Now, then, that is the knife and fork.
COOKIE MONSTER: Knife and fork.
ERNIE: You can hold those--
COOKIE MONSTER: Thank you.
ERNIE: --now while we talk about the spoon.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, spoon.
ERNIE: Now, look at the spoon.
And notice the spoon has this clever
little bowl shape there.
COOKIE MONSTER: How clever.
ERNIE: There, you see?
And we use the spoon to scoop
up things like soup--
COOKIE MONSTER: Soup.
ERNIE: --and gravy.
COOKIE MONSTER: Gravy.
ERNIE: --and other things that don't fit very
well on your fork.
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.
ERNIE: OK?
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, spoon.
ERNIE: Now here is the spoon.
COOKIE MONSTER: Thank you.
ERNIE: And--
COOKIE MONSTER: Now eat, eat, eat.
ERNIE: No, no, no, no.
Wait a second, just one more second.
COOKIE MONSTER: No.
ERNIE: Now, as we said before, we're now going to have an
actual demonstration of how to use the knife, fork, and spoon
for eating.
COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, yeah.
ERNIE: Now, are you sure you know how to use them?
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, I know how, I know how.
ERNIE: OK, you may go ahead and eat.
COOKIE MONSTER: OK.
Knife, spoon, fork.
One, two, three, go.
