- Hi kids, who's ready for story time
with Cool School and Sesame Street?
- (laughs) Elmo's ready.
Is Miss Booksy ready?
- I sure am. (laughs)
Today we're going to read chapter four
of Jack and the Beanstalk.
Elmo, do you remember what happened in chapter three?
- Yes, the friendly giant
came down the beanstalk to look for Jack.
Oh, but then the towns people got mad
that he smooshed their stuff.
Oh, so now they wanna chop down the beanstalk.
Oh, no. (laughs)
- Oh, But Jack convinces them to wait.
She has to go up the beanstalk one last time.
- Oh, Miss Booksy?
Are we getting close to the end of the story?
- Yes, we are. Are you excited to see how it ends?
- Yes, Elmo hopes it's a happy ending.
- Me too. (laughs)
Now let's jump right in to chapter four
of Jack and the beanstalk.
(bell chimes)
Jack was on her way up the beanstalk,
but in the land above the clouds
the giant was feeling rather sad.
- Elmo guesses Elmo won't have a new friend.
Boy, Elmo didn't mean to scare anybody.
Elmo can't help it.
Elmo gets really lonely sometimes.
(dog barks)
- Aww the giant was so sad,
even his cute puppy, Rover couldn't cheer him up.
Okay, when I get up there,
I'll just say I'm sorry.
And thank you for returning my backpack.
Simple, he's not scary.
He's a kind, giant monster.
Aww, he looks so sad.
(dog barks) Oh, no.
Aaahh.
Eww, I got puppy slobbered.
- (laughs) You came back.
- (laughs) Hi.
- Hi.
- I'm Jack. (laughs)
I came back to say thank you
for returning my backpack.
That was very kind.
And I wanted to say that I'm sorry you know,
for screaming every time that I saw you. (laughs)
And for running away.
- Oh, giant Elmo is sorry for scaring you.
Boy, giant Elmo didn't mean to.
Sometimes giant Elmo forgets that he's so big.
(laughs)
It's okay, we can be friends.
- Yeah.
- Wanna play checkers?
- Of course. (laughs)
Okay, your move.
- Okay. (grunts)
(laughs)
- You made this for me?
- Yeah.
Giant Elmo wanted to throw Jack a party.
- That's so sweet.
- Oh, well giant Elmo couldn't read the recipe,
so giant Elmo just guessed.
- (laughs) Let's try it.
- Okay.
(munching)
(laughs)
- Mm, it's very interesting.
(laughs)
- Thank you.
- Well, Jack is very welcome.
- [Miss Booksy] Next, they had a dance party.
- Woo hoo.
- Yeah.
- Nice moves.
- Let's do a little of this.
A little of that.
- [Miss Booksy] They sang songs.
♪ Row, row, row your boat gently down the stream ♪
♪ Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily ♪
♪ Life is but a dream ♪
- (laughs) Yeah.
- That's so good.
- [Miss Booksy] They played fetch with Rover.
(dog barks)
- Oh, oh, are you okay?
- Oh. (laughs)
I'm okay.
- (laughs) Oh, good.
- And finally, Jack read to the giant
from her favorite book of stories.
So little red riding hood went in.
Aww, giant Elmo's taking a nap.
You know what?
I'm getting tired too.
Jack was just about to relax
for a nap of her own,
when she remembered the time.
(cymbal crash)
Oh, it's almost three o'clock.
(Elmo mumbles)
- Giant Elmo, I have to go.
The towns people.
They're going to chop down the beanstalk.
Because they're mad at you for smooshing their stuff.
- Oh, no, giant Elmo didn't mean to.
- I know, but now they're gonna chop it down
and then I'll never get to see you again.
- Oh, no.
Giant Elmo wants Jack to come back and play every day.
- Jack wants, I mean, I want that too.
This is terrible.
Wait, I've got it.
You can come down there with me.
- Oh yeah, but the people are mad at giant Elmo.
- But when they meet you,
they'll see how wonderful you are, and apologize.
- Giant Elmo is wonderful?
- The wonderfullest.
- Oh, thank you.
- Now let's go.
- (laughs) Okay.
- Jack, the giant, and Rover climbed down the beanstalk.
When they saw the towns people,
Jack announced that giant Elmo had something to say.
Hey guys, the giant has something to say.
- Hi.
Giant Elmo is really sorry
for smooshing the towns people's stuff.
Giant Elmo didn't mean to.
He just has really big feet.
And he was trying to look for Jack.
Giant Elmo doesn't want you
to chop down the beanstalk,
because giant Elmo gets lonely.
Oh, and Jack is his new friend.
- [Miss Booksy] The towns people did a quick huddle,
and agreed that he did seem like a friendly giant.
- Oh. And giant Elmo will help you fix
all the things he smooshed.
- Well, that's very kind of you.
Say, I think this friendly giant's all right.
- And we're sorry for trying
to chop down the beanstalk.
- So, does that mean that you won't chop it down?
- The beanstalk shall stay.
(children cheering)
- (laughs) Thank you, thank you, thank you.
- Yay. (laughs)
- Important question though,
is that a giant puppy?
And may I pet him?
- Yes, and yes.
(dog barks)
(all cheer) Yay.
- Hey, giant Elmo, it looks like it all worked out.
I think this calls for a happy dance.
- Yeah, baby, woo hoo. (laughs)
- And that's the story of how
Jack climbed the beanstalk,
and found a new best friend.
(bell chimes)
The end.
(laughs)
- Did you like the ending, Elmo?
- Yes, Elmo loved the ending.
(laughs)
- Oh, Elmo thinks that Jack and the giant
are going to be friends forever.
- (laughs) Oh, kinda like us?
- Yes. (laughs)
- (laughs) Oh, oh, and all of you
are our friends forever too.
- That's right.
- Oh, Miss Booksy? - Yeah?
- Elmo doesn't wanna stop reading.
- Well then, I guess we'll just have to have
another story time play date, won't we?
- Yeah.
Elmo loves reading. (laughs)
- Hit like if you love reading, too.
And we'll see you next time.
- Yep, bye bye. - Bye.
- Elmo loves you.
- Ooh, ooh.
- Oh, that's good.
- (laughs) This is so much fun, Elmo.
- (laughs) Yeah.
Bye, everybody.
- Bye. (laughs)
