NARRATOR: We take you now to the King's castle where our
reporter, Kermit the Frog, is about to cover an historic
meeting between the miller's daughter and Rumpelstiltskin.
KERMIT: Hark.
This is Kermit the Frog here, speaking to you from the
King's palace.
And I'm here with the miller's daughter,
who's right back there.
And in a few moments, Rumpelstiltskin is going to
arrive, and he's going to take away her little baby unless
the miller's daughter can guess his name.
Let's talk to her a moment, if we can.
Uh, pardon me, ma'am.
Ma'am?
Kermit the Frog, here Sesame Street News.
I'm Ma'am?
I was wondering, could you come out here and answer a
couple questions, if you don't mind?
MILLER'S DAUGHTER: Hmm?
KERMIT: I understand that you're waiting here for
Rumpelstiltskin.
Is that right?
MILLER'S DAUGHTER: Yes, that's right.
KERMIT: And if you can't guess his name, he's going to take
your baby away, right?
MILLER'S DAUGHTER: Yes, that's right.
I made a deal with him, and boy, am I sorry now.
KERMIT: Yeah.
And the fact is, you don't know
Rumpelstiltskin's name, do you?
MILLER'S DAUGHTER: No, I don't.
Do you?
KERMIT: Uh, well, no.
Actually, I don't.
But I do have a surprise for you and our Sesame Street
audience, because we have set up a hotline.
We have set up a hotline, boys and girls,
right here to the castle.
And if anybody here knows any information regarding
Rumpelstiltskin's name, if you will call us here at Sesame
Street 5-55.
That's Sesame Street 5-55.

and here I am, right on time.
Well, have you guessed my name yet?

You must be thinking of Janice's
cousin's friend, Fred.
No, it's not Fred.
MILLER'S DAUGHTER: Well then, is it Otto?
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Otto?
No, that's my cousin, the one who liked to
play tag in the mud.

MILLER'S DAUGHTER: Oh, he's out hunting
dragons with his father.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Um hum, that's what they all say.
You just don't mind if I look around, do you?
MILLER'S DAUGHTER: No, go ahead.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Let's see.
If I was a baby in this castle, where would I be?
Hmm.
There he is!
KERMIT: Listen, I'm not her baby.
Tell him who I am, please.
MILLER'S DAUGHTER: Uh, he likes a 12 o'clock feeding.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Gotcha.
KERMIT: I like a what?
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Gitchee gitchee goo, you cute one.
KERMIT: Gitchee gitchee goo yourself!
Now, wait a minute.
This is Kermit the Frog, and I'm going to return you to
your regularly scheduled program.
RUMPELSTILTSKIN: Let's go home.
KERMIT: Hey, wait a minute!
Where you taking me?
