- Well, hi there, girls and boys.
- Hi everybody, Elmo here!
- And Ms. Booksy.
- Yeah, Ms. Booksy is here for a story-time play date.
We're gonna read a book. - That's right.
Elmo and I have been reading
Jack and the Beanstalk. - Yes.
- The first two chapters are on
Cool School's youtube channel
and now it's time for chapter three here on Sesame Street!
Are you excited, Elmo?
- Yes, Elmo's very excited.
- Let's do a little recap. - Okay.
- In chapter two, Jack climbed the beanstalk
and found a giant red furry monster!
- Yeah, oh, but Jack thought that it was a scary monster,
but it wasn't.
- Right, right, a really friendly furry monster.
- Yeah, because monsters really are friendly
and kind like Elmo.
- Very true.
But jack doesn't know that the giant is friendly,
she just saw a giant and ran.
Split, vamoose! (laughs)
Unfortunately though, she left her backpack up there.
Let's see if she goes up for it?
Ready?
- Yes, Elmo is ready.
Hey, are you ready?
Okay, let's read!
(chimes ring)
- [Ms. Booksy] Jack didn't know what to do.
She needed to go up the beanstalk and get her backpack,
but there was a maybe, very scary giant monster up there.
But that couldn't be further from the truth.
The giant was actually a really friendly monster.
In fact, he was busy preparing a welcome party for Jack.
He hoped she would come back
and maybe they would become best friends.
- Look Rover, Giant Elmo made a welcome banner.
Oh, and Elmo made a cake, too.
Now Giant Elmo and Rover will just have to wait
until our friend comes back.
(sighs)
Is she here yet?
- [Ms. Booksy] Back on the ground,
Jack had finally made her decision.
I'm going up.
Okay, you've got this, Jack.
You're brave.
You're like, the bravest.
What, are you just gonna leave your backpack
and your favorite book up in the clouds
just because some giant monster is up there?
That's silly.
Jack had talked herself into feeling super brave.
She was ready.
She had just popped her head above the clouds
when the giant saw her and yelled--
- Surprise!
(screams)
(bell dings)
- [Ms. Booksy] Jack was so startled that she fell down
and landed on the beanstalk branch below.
- Oh no, Rover, Giant Elmo scared her again!
Hello? (screams)
- [Ms. Booksy] Jack scrambled down the beanstalk.
- Aw boy. Come on, Rover, let's go find her.
Giant Elmo wants to tell her that Giant Elmo
just wants to be friends.
- [Ms. Booksy] This time, the giant decided to follow her.
When Jack saw the giant was following her,
she rushed to bottom and hid.
- Fee-fi-fo-fum.
New friend, where are you?
- [Ms. Booksy] The giant looked for Jack.
He tried to be extra, super careful not to step
on anyone's house or anything.
- Sorry about that. Sorry, oh sorry.
Oh, oh no, Elmo's sorry.
- [Ms. Booksy] But he was a giant, so he couldn't help
but smoosh stuff up a little.
Jack watched from her hiding spot
as her neighbors ran and hid from the giant.
- Who let this monster down here?
- He smushed up my mailbox.
- That giant stepped on my fence.
- [Ms. Booksy] Finally, the giant gave up looking for Jack.
- Elmo guesses Elmo will just go home now.
Giant Elmo doesn't want to bother anybody.
(building crunching) Oh, sorry.
Bye, friend.
(grunting)
- Aw, he seemed kinda sad, right?
And not super scary like you'd expect a giant monster to be.
And did I hear him call me a friend?
- [Elmo] There you go, friend.
- So thoughtful.
Okay, only a really kind giant monster would do that.
Jack decided she needed to thank the giant
for returning her backpack.
But when she went over to the beanstalk,
she found a crowd of townspeople had gathered there.
- There she is!
- You're the one who put this beanstalk here.
- I didn't mean to.
What's wrong?
- What's wrong?
A giant, furry monster stomped around the town
smushing everyone's stuff, that's what's wrong!
- Oh, yeah, that.
He was trying to be careful.
And I did hear him say he was sorry.
- Sorry shmorry, it's too late for sorry.
- So we're gonna chop down the beanstalk.
- Wait, I just need to make one more trip
up the beanstalk, please, okay?
- And then can we chop it down?
- Just wait for me to come back.
- You have until three o'clock.
- And then we're gonna chop it down.
We'll chop the stalk at three o'clock.
- Hey, that's catchy!
Chop the stalk at three o'clock.
- 'Kay, I got it. See ya.
And with that, Jack started her climb back up the beanstalk.
(chimes ringing) (laughing)
- Boy, Elmo's so happy
that Jack is going back up the beanstalk.
- Yeah, I am too.
Do you think they'll become friends?
- Boy, Elmo hopes so.
- Well we better go read chapter four right now
