0:00 (playful music) (cheerful music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are ramps? - Let's find out. Almost there. That's the last of our ramps. Um, wait a minute. These are just pieces of cardboard. Why did Ameera call them ramps? - Glad ya asked, Elmo. They're pieces of cardboard that we are using as ramps. Let me explain. Ramps help people and things move up and down easily.
0:49 These are ramps here, here and here. And now it's time to start our amazing machine. - Machine? Oh boy. Now me curious. What does machine do, Ameera? - What does it do? Well, it's kind of a surprise, Cookie Monster. - (gasps) Oh boy. Oh boy. Me can hardly wait. - Luckily you don't have to. We're gonna set our machine in motion right now. Cookie Monster, a little help, please. - Oh yeah. Elmo is so excited. - One. (suspenseful music) Two. Three! (giggling) (Cookie Monster grunts) (Elmo gasps) (chicken yelps)
1:35 (chicken clucking) - Uh, sorry, chicken. - Aha. Yeah, this strange kind of machine. Is that what it's supposed to do? - Nope. That's not what it was supposed to do at all. I wonder what went wrong. - Hmm. If only we had a way to watch the ball move slowly, then we could see what happened. - You know what, Elmo? We can! Yeah, yeah. Me just installed slow-motion replay in me shed. (suspenseful music) - There's Cookie Monster placing the ball and it starts to down just fine. - And here's where the ball started going faster and faster. And here's where the ball went off the ramp. But why?
2:20 Why, oh why, oh why? - Elmo thinks maybe the ball was going too fast. - Hmm. I wonder what we could do to slow the ball down. - But how can anybody slow down a runaway ball? - Well these ramps are smooth and objects slide pretty fast down smooth surfaces, but when a surface is bumpier, things slide down slower. - So if ramp is bumpier, then ball goes slower? - Right. So what if we can find something to make our ramps bumpier? Let's try using... (playful music) Rocks. They'll definitely make the ramps bumpier. - Then Elmo says, let's rock and roll. (giggles)
3:06 (lively music) - Bock, bock, bock. - Chicken got it. (chicken yelps) - [Cookie Monster] Chicken no got it. - Bock, bock. - Maybe the rocks are too bumpy. What if we use bottle caps? (playful music) They're smaller than the rocks so maybe they'll make our ramps bumpy, but not too bumpy. Give it a try. Cookie Monster. (lively music) (bottle caps rattling) - Oh, me no think bottle caps work either. (mysterious music) (gears clicking) - This is hard. We're gonna need something that will help slow the ball, but still keep it rolling down the ramp. Hmm. But what can we use?
3:53 (chicken clucking) - Wait. Chicken. That's it! (chicken clucks) - Sand! What if we sprinkle a little bit of sand on these ramps? Just enough to slow the ball down, but not so much that it stops the ball. Come on, everybody. Let's try it! (chicken clucks) (cheerful music) - Okay, ramp's all sanded, Ameera. Oh boy. Me hope me finally get to see what machine is for. - Well, you just might. Let's try it one more time. Ready, Cookie Monster" - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Me ready. Me ready. Okay. 1, 2, 3. (lively music) - [Elmo] It's working. It's working.
4:38 All right! - Yeah! Let's go! - [Elmo] Woo-hoo. (quirky music) - That what machine does? Deliver cookie to Cookie Monster? This best machine ever. (Cookie Monster chomping) How about me run machine again? Me want cookie! (Elmo and Ameera laughing) (all cheering) (bubbles popping) (bright music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are pulleys? - Let's find out.
5:23 - (giggling) Okay. Elmo just needs to finish his dolphin and there. Ready to lift, Grover Bird? - I am, Elmo Tiger. (laughing) Let us lift. Perfecto. It... Oh. Not perfecto. (disappointing music) Elmo Tiger, I believe our castle is a bit flimsy. - What if you lean it against something like... The shed! - Ah. Great tip, Ameera Bear. Now we can really play animal kingdom. - Hold on. We're forgetting one very important thing. Our animal-kingdom-castle flag.
6:09 - That's a great flag, but Elmo's wondering where we can hang it. (bright music) - Hmm. What if I, Grover Bird, fly it up to the tippy top of that pole? Hmm? Up, up and away! Eh. Up, up and away! (groans) Up, up and away. Agh. - Good try, Bird Grover. Unfortunately, you're only a pretend bird. - Ah, yes. A pretend bird. Of course. Yes. But what if I climbed this pole like a squirrel? Another cute but extremely-talented member of the animal kingdom. (playful music) Ugh.
6:55 Talented, yes, but perhaps not so well suited for climbing poles. - I've got an idea, but I need a minute or two to draw it up. Maybe you can sweep around the castle or something while I figure it out. Gotta keep our castle clean, don't you know? (upbeat music) (broom swishing) (upbeat music ends) (chicken clucking) - Well, she's going up and down and up and down. (chicken clucking) - And down, down, down.
7:42 Ah. This is definitely not a job for birds. What if Elmo just tosses the flag up to the top of the pole? - Well (giggling), that didn't work either. Okay, you two. This is the answer to our animal-kingdom problems. Ta-da! A pulley. - A what-y? - A pulley! Take a look. A pulley is a simple machine with a wheel attached to it that can help you lift something up or down or side to side. Pulleys make it easier to move things from one place to another. - So to raise our glorious animal-kingdom flag, we must first find a pulley. - Any chance one of you seen me broom?
8:29 Yeah, that shed getting pretty dusty. Hey, nice castle. - Do you have something like this in your shed drawer? It's a pulley. - Oh, you mean a kind of wheelie thingy? - That's right. - [Cookie Monster] With a groove to hold the rope in place? - Yes! This sounds promising. - And it could help lift something up like, like, like that flag? - Yes. That's it exactly. Sorry. Me no got that in me shed drawer. (all groaning) But, me do have one somewhere else. (bright music) (devices clicking) - Woo-hoo-hoo - Yay. Look at that. - Yay! - [Ameera] It's a real pulley. Now we just need to attach the flag to that rope.
9:16 I wonder what we can use. - Oh, what if we use these clippy thingies? Yeah, me was going to do some laundry after sweeping the shed. - Clothes pins. Perfect! Let's try 'em out. (light music) Okay friends, pull it up. (majestic music) - [Elmo] Look! The pulley is working. It's lifting up the flag! - Be still my heart. - [Ameera] And our flag is flying thanks to Cookie Monster. - Oh, it nothing. Me happy to help. - That's enough flag watching. Let's play animal kingdom! Roar!
10:01 - Ooh. - Roar. - Oh-ho-ho-ho. (Grover laughing) (bubbles popping) (bright music) (wind blowing) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What is a shadow? - Let's find out. - Okay, is everybody ready? (chickens clucking) - Oh boy, what fun! Ameera's show is starting. - Alright, here we go. Shadow show is starting. - Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. (chicken clucking) - Ladies and gentlemen. Small, red and furry monsters. That's you, Elmo. (chickens clucking) May I introduce Ameera, master of shadows!
10:50 - Oh, oh, it's a chicken! (chickens clucking) Another chicken. (chickens clucking) - See, Elmo? When you hold something like your hand in front of a light, it makes a shadow. But if you put different objects together like this feather in both of your hands, you can make a chicken shadow. Bock! - Oh. But how did you make two chicken shadows at the same time? - (giggling) Oh, that other shadow was a real chicken. (chicken clucking) - Oh-oh-oh. Cool. Elmo wants to make his own animal shadow now.
11:36 - No problem. What kind of animal? (mysterious music) - (trumpeting) Wee! - Oh, oh, an elephant! Hmm. Elmo wonders what shapes would make an elephant shadow. - Oh, me not know, but we can look in shed. - We'll use this picture as our guide. We need a round head, a long trunk, and these ears. Got it? Good. Let's get to work. (lively music) - Oh-ho-ho. What if we use that box for the elephant's head? - Now that's a great idea, Elmo. Let's try it.
12:23 - Oh. Oh. Oh. So, when the box blocks the light, we see its shadow. - It's a shadow all right, but an elephant's head is not square. It's round. - Oh boy. Me no see anything round in here. Probably because me eat all round things hoping they cookies. Okay, what else could we use for round elephant head? Me wonder. ♪ I'm a circle and I'm round ♪ ♪ And I'm rolling on the ground ♪ ♪ And I'm yellow like a bur... ♪ (circle giggling) - Oh-ho-ho. What if we use Circle for our elephant head? - I don't know what you're talking about, but let's try it. (giggling)
13:08 Woo-hoo! (giggling) - That works. Now we need a shape for the trunk shadow. - Oh, okay. This drawer might have something if me could just hit button. (drawer slides) - Hah! I see an old wooden spoon, an assortment of buttons with beautiful round shapes, paper-towel rolls- - Oh! What if we used the paper-towel rolls to make a trunk? - [Cookie Monster] Okay, me gonna do... Oh, like this. No, no. Aw, like this? - Hold it right there, Cookie. (chickens clucking) You've got yourself one genuine elephant-trunk shadow. (chickens clucking) - Yay! We did it!
13:56 - That's right. We now have elephant trunk for our shadow. - Not so fast, you two. We're still missing the elephant ears. - Ears? - Ears? (upbeat music) - Nope. Uh-uh. Hmm, no. - Circles don't have arms or legs, otherwise I'd help. (giggling) (chicken clucks) (chicken clucking) (chicken clucks) - That's it! You found the perfect combination of shapes to make a true elephant-head shadow. (chickens clucking) - Yes. - Oh boy. Me need cookie after this.
14:43 - (humming) Whoa. Whoa! Is that a real elephant back there? - (giggling) That's not a real elephant, Elephant. Elmo block the light to make an elephant shadow with all these different things. Whoa! (muppets fall) (bright music) (chickens clucking) Done with a lot of help. (all laughing) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (wind blowing) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) What are levers? - Let's find out. Goal!
15:30 Nice job, Elmo. Alright, Cookie Monster. Now you try to kick a goal between those trees. - Me on it. But first, me do some fancy footwork. (cheerful music) (all cheering) - Oh boy. Ha-ha! (Grover humming) - Oh, hello friends. What is everybody playing today? - Hi Grover. Elmo, Ameera and Cookie Monster are playing soccer. Wanna play too? - Oh, I, your cute and furry pal, Grover, would love to play, but I cannot. I am bringing this new statue to my granny's little garden. - Statue? What statue? - This statue. I made it my very own self.
16:16 It is of my granny. Hmm. Do you think the head is too big? - No. - What? Too big? No, that perfect. - Come on. No. - Oh, that is a relief. Now, I have to hurry to granny's. See you later! (humming) - Bye-bye, Grover. - Bye-bye. (Grover humming) - Elmo's Gonna pass the ball so Ameera can score a goal. - Got it. One, two- - Whoa, wait. Hold on, Ameera. We got a problem. Look. (dramatic music) - Oh, no! Grover! (Grover humming) - There no room to get the goal.
17:02 - And there's no way Elmo and his friends can move those trees. But what if we could move the statue? - Move statue? Okay. Me try. (grunting) Yeah, this way too heavy. Well, me guess our game over. - Maybe not. What if we use a lever to move the statue? (soft music) Let me explain. A lever is something that can help us lift heavy things. Levers have two parts. There's a bottom piece, which can go anywhere under the long flat piece on top. When you push down on one end of the top piece, the other end lifts up. The bottom piece can be a rock, a piece of wood, or even a wheel. - Oh, me have some stuff to build lever.
17:47 Be right back. Here you go. - I wonder what we can use for the bottom part of our lever. It needs to be about this big. - What if we use the soccer ball? It's about the right size. - Hmm. It may be the right size, but I think anything we put on top would just roll off of it. - Oh, so what we gonna use? Me can't think of anything. - Cookie, you got it! That rock is the right size for our lever. - Me knew me find answers somehow. - Now, I wonder what could go on top of the rock. It has to be pretty big and strong. - What if we use this umbrella? I don't think this umbrella is long enough or strong enough to hold that statue.
18:34 We need something bigger like... That! - Oh yeah. That plank looked big enough to lift statue. Let's try. - Now let's put our lever together. We'll put the piece of wood on top of the rock. Then we'll slide the plank under the statue. - Okay, now me push down on this end and that end should lift up. Here me go. (grunts) Okay. Me got it. Me got it. Okay. Me no got it. - Hmm. Maybe our problem isn't the lever. Maybe our problem is where we put the rock. With a lever, it matters how close you put the bottom piece to whatever you're trying to lift. - Oh, okay! Then what if we move rock even closer to statue.
19:20 - Now you're talking. (mysterious music) - Okay. Me try again. Hear me go. (grunting) (triumphant music) We did it! We move statue. - Woo-hoo! - Woo-hoo-hoo. - Ha-ha. - Elmo's got the ball. Elmo passes it to... - Cookie Monster who takes the ball and he passes to Ameera. - Yes! - Woo-hoo-hoo. - Yeah. Go team! - Goal! (music on Walkman stops) Nice goal, Ameera. Hey, by any chance did I drop something around here? Oh, there you are, statue! I thought you were gone forever. Mmm-mm. But are you sure the head is not too big? - What? No. - No. - No. - No, not at all.
20:05 (quirky music) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are ramps? - Let's find out. Who likes action? Who likes excitement? Welcome to the newest, most exciting game in the park. It's called Knock 'Em Down. (chickens clucking) And it ends with a crash. Show 'em how it's done, Elmo. - Oh yeah. This is Elmo's favorite part. - [All Muppets] 3, 2, 1. Knock 'em down. (all cheering)
20:53 (Elmo cheering) Knocking that bottle over is the most exciting thing Elmo has done maybe ever. (giggling) - Well what about this? If knocking down one bottle is fun, what do you think of knocking down a bunch of bottles? (all cheering) (gears clicking) - Whoa-ho-ho. Six bottles means six times the fun. Elmo's ready to knock 'em down. - Go for it, Elmo! - [All Muppets] 3, 2, 1. Knock 'em down! (disappointing music) (chickens clucking) - Oh, boy. - Wait a minute. Why didn't that work? - Huh. What if we had a bigger ball to knock 'em down? Hey, does anybody have a bigger ball?
21:39 - Me have just the thing. - Uh, that's not a ball. - Oh sorry. (chomping) Me mean this. - Oh-ho-ho. Let's try it. - Pass it to me, Cookie. (bright music) - [All Muppets] 3, 2, 1. Knock 'em down! (disappointing music) - Oh no. - Aw. - Oh, only one bottle fell. - We need to knock all the bottles down at the same time for this to be truly exciting. - Elmo wonders how we can make that ball go faster. - Hmm. A faster ball. Well, yeah. Faster. What if... Hmm. A ramp! A ramp is something that moves things from high to low or low to high? The higher the angle of the ramp,
22:26 the faster the ball will go. - Elmo thinks the ramp needs to be long and strong like the wood Cookie Monster has in the shed. - Yeah, you got a good memory there, Elmo. - Yeah, you know, me never seemed to run out of this wood for some reason. Hmm. Me wonder how we can make this into a ramp. - You're doing it already. See? Just by holding one end higher than the other, you've made a ramp. Maybe lower it a little so that Elmo can reach. - Thank you, Cookie Monster. - [All Muppets] 3, 2, 1. Knock 'em down! (chicken clucking) - Whoa. The ramp definitely made the ball go faster but it still didn't knock down all the bottles.
23:12 Elmo wonders why. (quirky music) (chicken shouts excitedly) - Ooh, I know, I know. What if we raise the ramp even higher? Won't that make the ball go faster? Like this. See? (trumpeting) - You're an elephant after my own heart, Elephant. (chicken clucks) Let's try it. Raise that ramp, Cookie. - [All Muppets] 3, 2, 1 Knock 'em down! (all groaning) - Two bottles this time. Elmo knows what this means. The ramp should be even higher. - You know what to do, Cookie. Raise it up as high as you can.
23:59 - As high as me can. Got it. Ally oop. - Psst. Time to try it, Elmo. - Elmo would love to, but, oh, Elmo can't reach the top of the ramp. Oh no. - Luckily we have some tall friends. Hey, Elepha... Oh. You are standing right in front of me. I am so sorry. Think you can give us a hand? - I thought you'd never ask. (trumpets) Thank you, Elephant. - [All Muppets] 3, 2, 1. Knock 'em down! (all cheering) - Making the ramp's angle higher sure changed how fast the ball moves. - Yep. The higher the angle of the ramp, the faster it rolled and the faster it rolled, the bigger the crash. - Knocking down six bottles was fun.
24:47 But you know what would be even more fun? Having a bunch more bottles to knock down! (laughing) - We might have a few bottles laying around. (lever clicks) (bottles rattle) - Whoa-ho! Who's ready to use the ramp to knock 'em down? (all cheering) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) What are bridges? - Let's find out. - Welcome, rock fans. (all cheering) The rules of this race are simple.
25:33 Roll your rocks down the hill and the one that goes the farthest wins. Ready to roll? Push them to start and... Go, rocks, go! - (giggling) Go rock racing. Go rock racing. (Ameera cheering) - Ooh, both Elmo and Ameera's rocks are neck and neck. It's anyone's race. This is so exciting. And the rocks are tumbling around and... (gasps) They've disappeared! Let's go down there and find out what happened to them. (mysterious music) - Our rocks rolled into this small hole. Small for us, but for your rocks, it's a giant hole.
26:18 - Elmo wonders how we can finish our race with a hole in the way. - Hmm. Good question. What if we make a bridge? A bridge is something that helps you cross from one place to another. - Maybe Cookie Monster can help us find stuff that we can use to build a bridge like that. - Let's find out. (Cookie Monster humming) (gears clicking) - Oh, hello. - Cookie Monster. We need to build a bridge for our rock race. Do you have anything we can use? - A bridge, huh? Well me can help. Yeah, me just need to check the drawers. Excuse me. Ah, let's see. Me got cookies. Ah, me got cookies. Ah, me got more cookies. Ah, me only got cookies.
27:03 - A bridge made from cookies? (giggling) Elmo doesn't think that will work. Well, that good, because me already eat cookies. - Somehow I'm not surprised. What if we just use sticks and leaves to make our bridge? We can find them in the park. - Pretty clever thinking there, Turtle. The sticks can stretch across the hole and then the leaves can lay across the sticks for the rocks to roll on. - Let's try it. If we use sticks and leaves, Cookie Monster won't wanna eat them. At least I, uh, think he won't. (gears clicking) (light music) - Elmo thinks this is a good-looking bridge. - Yep. It looks perfect.
27:48 Let's try it. Elmo, roll those rocks. (light music) (Elmo giggling) - Uh-huh. - Ah-ha! (lively music) - Woo-hoo. (rocks crash) (all groaning) - We made a bridge that looks great, but we forgot one thing. Bridges need to be super strong. - Uh, let's see. (gears clicking) Uh, no. Uh, no. Oh, oh wait. What about this? - Cookie Monster, I thought we already decided cookies aren't strong enough to- (Cookie Monster chomping) Nevermind. - Hmm. Well, what if we use those wooden boards over there?
28:37 - They sure look strong. - Let's try! (gears clicking) (light music) - Our new bridge sure looks super. - But is it super strong? Elmo will be sad if our bridge breaks again. - Don't be sad. A very wise monster once said, "If it breaks, try again. That's what's fun about trying." - Wow. Who said that? - Me! (gears clicking) (horn tooting) And the rocks are off! Down the hill they go, neck and neck. Across the grass and finally onto the bridge. Will it hold? (lively music) - All right! - Woo-hoo! - Our rocks made it across! The bridge works!
29:23 - Hold on there a minute, Red Racer. We need to find our rocks and see who won the race. (gears clicking) - Elmo found them. - Please stand back, race fans. Ooh, and, ah. Mm-hmm. By my calculations, both rocks traveled the exact same distance. That means it's a tie. - We both won! - We both won! - Me ready for next race. Me named me rock Cookie because it look like cookie. - It also looks a bit bigger than ours. I hope the bridge can hold its weight. - That's okay. If bridge breaks, we can always try again. That's what's fun about trying. - Nummy, nummy, nummy, nummy, nummy, nummy. - Oh.
30:10 (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are shadows? - Let's find out. (Elmo humming) Good morning, Elmo. - (giggling) Hi there, Ameera. Can you guess what Elmo is drawing? - Hmm. I'm gonna guess it's a flower. Cool drawing, Elmo. - Oh-ho-ho, thanks Ameera. Wait a second. What's that? That's the flower's shadow. - The flowers what? - Its shadow.
30:56 Let me explain. So when an object blocks light, it makes a shadow. This flower makes a flower-shaped shadow and this wheel makes a wheel-shaped shadow. - Oh-ho-ho-ho. So if Elmo's pencil blocks the light... Let Elmo guess. It makes a pencil shadow. - You got it, Elmo! Different shapes make different kinds of shadows. You know, Elmo, all this talk about shadows gives me an idea. Wanna play my new favorite game? Guess that shadow! - Oh-ho-ho. That's Elmo's new favorite game too! Wait, how do we play? - First, we need a little help from a certain cookie-loving monster we know.
31:42 Oh, Cookie! (gears clicking) (Cookie Monster humming) Ah, okay. Me got some stuff right here, Ameera. Me have one crayon. Uh, a drum. A kite. Uncle Louie's sock. (sniffing) Mmm. Nice and clean. Plus me favorite instrument, a trumpet. (trumpet toots) - (giggling) Hmm. Thanks Cookie Monster. These will be perfect for our game of Guess That Shadow. Okay, Elmo, turn around so you can't see which objects shadow I draw first. (mechanical arm whirring) And no peeking. (bright music) (Ameera humming)
32:31 (mechanical arm whirring) Okay, Elmo, turn around and see if you can guess that shadow. - Hmm. Me Wonder how Elmo will figure out which one made that shadow. - What if Elmo checks the shape? - Let's try it. - Well, the shadow is straight and thin, so Elmo will look for something straight and thin too. Hmm. Oh. Is it the crayon's shadow? (triumphant music) - Ta-da! You're right! - Yes! Again! Again! (Elmo giggling) - Okay. We have an object. (light music)
33:19 Okay, Elmo, time to turn around and guess that shadow! - (giggling) This shape looks kind of like Daddy's foot. Hmm. (soft music) Is the shadow drawing from Daddy's sock. - Let's find out. - Mmm-hmm-hmm. - Oh yeah! Elmo's pretty good at this game. - Hmm. Maybe too good. I wonder how we can make this game a little harder. What if we have you guess a shadow of something that's not on the table? - Ooh, Elmo hopes so. - You can do it, Elmo. - Huh, let's see.
34:04 What object can we pick? Eh, let's see. (Grover humming) Grover, shh. - What? - We're surprising Elmo. - Oh, well you can count on me. I am very good at both shh-ing and surprises. (playful music) (electricity crackles) - Does Ameera have a shadow for Elmo to guess yet? - Almost done, Elmo. (playful music) There. It's time to guess that shadow. - Elmo knows this wasn't one of the things on the table, but what is it? This sort of looks like Grover's nose. (Grover chuckling)
34:50 And this sort of looks like Grover's chin, but what's that thing on top? A-ha! That's it! Elmo thinks this shadow must be Grover in a funny hat. - Ha-ha. Yes, it is I, your furry pal, Grover, in my very favorite hat. (all laughing) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What's a lever? - Let's find out. (bright music) Good racing, everybody. (Grover panting) (Grover groaning)
35:36 Good racing? Whew. After all that running, my fuzzy blue legs are feeling very wobbly. Oh, might I suggest we take a little breather just to, you know, breathe. - Hiya, Cookie Monster. What ya doing? - Oh, me Just organizing me cookies using this lever thing. - Cool! You're using a pan balance to see which side is heavier. - Oh. So this is a pan balance. Wait, is it just for balancing cookies? - Nope. Let me tell you all about it. See, a pan balance is a special kind of lever that lets you compare the weight of different objects. It's got a middle part that balances the two sides
36:21 and it's also got two pans that move up and down depending on how heavy the things you put on them happen to be. When the pans are perfectly balanced, it means the objects on both sides weigh exactly the same. - Yep. Now we know that these two small cookies weigh the same as this big cookie. (Cookie Monster chomping) And two small cookies definitely heavier than no big cookies. (Cookie Monster chomping) (all laughing) - Okay. Enough resting. Who's ready to race again? - Uh, maybe we can do something a little more relaxing before we try another race. - We sure can.
37:08 And since Cookie already has a pan balance, maybe we can use it to balance different things. Yeah, the Cookie Monster's pan balance is just good for little things like cookies. Elmo wonders what we can use to balance bigger things. What if we can build a bigger pan balance? Check this out. To make a larger pan balance, let's try using a stick, some string and some baskets. - But, uh, what we use for this middle part? - I have an idea. (light music) See? Grover's shoulder makes the perfect middle balance-y part. - But what things are you going to balance on my shoulder? - Oh, oh. Me go look in shed. (lively music)
38:03 - Ready, set, balance. (disappointing music) - Um. I do not think these two sides are quite balanced yet. - What if we can add something to the feather side to make it heavier? - Let's try it. (Elmo giggling) - A shoe? Well, I, Grover, predict that adding that shoe to the feather side will definitely make our pan balance balance. (disappointing music) (Grover panting) It does not happen often, but I, your furry pal Grover, am incorrect. (chuckles) that shoe must be even heavier than the watering can. (grunting) But do not worry. I can hold this just fine.
38:50 - Now Elmo thinks you need to put something else on the other side of the lever to get the sides to balance. - Hmm. I wonder if that trumpet will do the trick. (Grover grunting) (disappointing music) - Way too heavy. - No, no. Do not worry. I have got it. Eh! - Well, since you got it, Grover, what if me put something heavy on the other side? Oh. Oh no. Me drawer empty. What we going to do now? (chicken clucking) - Chicken says, what if we use her in our balance game. (chickens clucks) - (laughing) I, Grover, am certain I can hold chicken as well. (chicken clucks) (Grover grunting)
39:36 - It balancing. It balancing! - Woo-hoo! - Yay! - Yes! - Wow. I never knew we could have so much fun with pan balances. They're my new favorite kind of lever. (Grover grunting) Little trouble here. Might need some... Oh, oh. (screaming) (chicken screaming) (Grover groaning) - Here you go. Me help you out, Grover. - Oh, thank you. I am okay. But you know, now that I have been a pan balance, I'm starting to think maybe we should go back to racing. (all laughing) (bright music) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering)
40:27 - What are ramps? - Let's find out. - Hop, hop, hop, hop, hop. (Mezuzah bleating) - Oh. Hop. (Mezuzah bleating) (Mezuzah bleating) - So, Elmo. - Whoa! - Oh, hi Ameera. Ooh, Elmo has made an important discovery. This hopscotch square sounds like Mezuzah. Watch. (Mezuzah bleating) - See? - Wait a minute, Elmo. That sounds like Mezuzah because it is Mezuzah. Where could she be? Mezuzah? - Mezuzah? (Mezuzah bleating) - This doesn't make any sense. I can hear her but I can't see her.
41:13 (Mezuzah bleating) (soft music) - Oh there you are. (Mezuzah bleating) How did you get up there? (Mezuzah bleating) - Elmo thinks Mezuzah is stuck in the tree and wants to come down. But how? We need something that gets her from up there on the branch to down here on the ground. - Yep. And that thing you just described is called a ramp. Ramps are sloping surfaces that go from high to low or low to high. Ramps are really helpful for moving up. (upbeat music) And for moving down.
41:58 - And right now we need a ramp to help Mezuzah move down. (Mezuzah bleating) (Cookie Monster humming) - Hello everybody. Me just happened to be carrying this sugar cane, piece of wood, cardboard and rake back to the shed For some reason when me hear you talking about Mezuzah. - Well, isn't that convenient? I wonder if we can use one of those things to help us get Mezuzah down from the tree. - What if we use this piece of sugar cane as a ramp? - Hmm. Okay. Well, me was going to eat it for a midday snack but me can wait. Yeah. Me just try leaning it on branch just like this. (mysterious music) - I don't think that sugar cane's wide enough
42:44 to use as a ramp. It's too narrow. - Okay. Midday snack time. Ah! (chomps) (quirky music) (Mezuzah chomping) (Mezuzah gulps) (Mezuzah bleating) Oh, you welcome, Mezuzah. Me glad you enjoyed me midday snack. - What if we try using that wood to make a ramp instead? - Good idea, Elmo. Me Try! - [Elmo] Cookie Monster, you need to let go of the wood. - But if me do that, wood not reach ground. And if we bring wood down here... - Yeah, the problem is the wood's too short. That won't work. Well, it's either the cardboard or the rake. (light music) - Look, the cardboard is wide enough and long enough.
43:33 - Maybe, but I'm not sure it's... (Mezuzah bleating) Strong enough. - Well, Elmo doesn't know if that rake is going to work. It's too narrow like the sugar cane. Hmm. It looks like we're outta things to try. - Here we go! Woo-hoo! Oh boy. Elmo wishes coming down from the tree was as easy as sliding down a slide. - Oh, guess what, Elmo. A slide is actually a kind of ramp. But how are we going to find an extra slide just lying around here for no reason. - Well, uh, actually. (gears clicking) (lively music)
44:23 (rubber ducky squeaks) Me remembered that we had Grover's old slide in shed. (light music) (triumphant music) (Mezuzah bleating) (bright music) (Mezuzah bleating) - What do you know? That actually worked! The slide was long enough, wide enough- - And strong enough! Nice sliding, Mezuzah. Oh. Mezuzah? - Now where did she go? Mezuzah? Yo! Mezuzah? - Maybe she went to get snack. That's what me would do. (Mezuzah bleating) - Mezuzah likes the slide so much, she climbed back up the tree just so she could come down the slide again. Isn't that right, Mezuzah?
45:09 Mezuzah? (Mezuzah bleating) (all laughing) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are shadows? - Let's find out. Hmm. Hm. Hmm. (moaning) (Ameera laughing) I see you there, Cookie Monster. - Wow. Ameera, you good Finder. Me was hoping you thought me was tree. - I almost did, Cookie, but a-ha! I see you over there, Elmo. - Oh. (giggling) Elmo didn't think Ameera would see Elmo next to these red flowers.
45:55 - You picked a good spot, Elmo, but your shadow didn't. - Elmo never really thought about Elmo's shadow before. What is a shadow? - See the sun up there? It sends light all the way down here, but when you get in the way of that light, you make a shadow. - Oh. (giggling) Wow. Elmo's shadow does whatever Elmo does. This flower shadow looks like a cookie. - [Ameera] Me Cookie Monster. Me like cookie. Om-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom. (Elmo giggling) - [Elmo] Me want cookie too. (Elmo and Ameera imitate eating) - Wait, wait. Hold it right there, Elmo. Don't move. (Cookie Monster grunts) (Elmo and Ameera gasp)
46:41 - Ooh, this shadow sure look like a cookie. (Cookie Monster humming) Mm. (chomping) Mmm. Tastes not bad either. - Cookie Monster, you just gave us a new game to play. What if one of us makes a shadow of something while the others trace it on the paper? - Ah, let's try that. Oh, as long as Elmo doesn't have to eat the drawing, that is. (giggling) - You first, Cookie. Give us your best... Um... Plant. - Plant. Okay. Uh... Oh, oh! Me Love cactus. Yeah, it kind of stand up tall like this. - Yep. That's definitely a cactus.
47:28 Elmo, let's get drawing. (Ameera humming) (upbeat music) - Now this me cookie-statue pose. Observe the delicate balance of monster and cookie. - That's great, Cookie Monster, but where's the shadow? It's missing! - Hmm. - Wha? Um, hello? Shadow? Where you go? Where are you? Come back! - I wonder. When you stand in front of the sun and block it with your body, you make a shadow. So what if the cloud blocked the sun and made a cloud shadow? So without the sun's light, we can't make our shadows. Maybe Elmo, Ameera and Cookie can wait until the cloud moves away. Hmm.
48:13 (Ameera humming) (Cookie Monster humming) (Elmo sighs) - Oh boy, this taking forever. Okay cloud, let's move along, buddy. Let's go. It's our turn to play with shadows here. (birds twittering) Okay cloud, now listen. Me getting hungry. Oh, num, nummy-num. - No eating the cookie until Elmo traces your shadow, Cookie Monster. Hmm. If only we could blow the cloud away. - Oh, blow cloud away? Hey, me wonder if we can. Okay, what if me use a fan? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. Me try that. (quirky music) - Don't think that's working too well there, Cookie.
48:59 Look, I enjoy fanning clouds as much as the next monster, but I'm telling you, we just have to wait until the clouds blow by and let the sun shine through. (bright music) - (giggling) Like that? Now Elmo can draw Cookie Monster's cookie statue again. - Ally oop. (upbeat music) - Okay, now where's the shadow? - (laughing) Wee-ooh-wee. (laughing) - [Elmo And Cookie] Circle! - Hey everyone! Ooh, woo. Would you look at that big round shadow I'm making. - Big and round? Okay, Elmo, you about to draw the biggest cookie shadow you've ever seen.
49:47 Circle, don't move. - You got it, Cookie. (lively music) (device whirring) (paper rustles) (Elmo giggling) - Ooh. - Wow, that is the biggest cookie-shadow drawing I've ever seen! And I'm pretty sure I know what comes next. - Yeah. Yeah, you pretty smart kid, Ameera. Excuse me. (chomping) (all laughing) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are levers? - Let's find out.
50:34 Okay, Elmo. I think we've made plenty of food for our pretend picnic. - (giggling) Elmo made apples and carrots. And I made an eggplant fish and a banana corn. - Wha... Wow! Elmo's never heard of an eggplant fish before, Ameera. - That's the great thing about pretend. You can make anything you want! Now, where's that Cookie Monster? I wonder what's taking him so long? (pleasant music) (Cookie Monster humming) (Cookie grunts) (Cookie sighs) (Cookie humming) - Cookie Monster! Are you ready for our pretend picnic? - Oh, yeah. Me almost ready. - Wow. That's a lot of play clay.
51:20 I wonder what he's making. (Cookie Monster humming) - Presenting, giant cookie. - [Ameera] Whoa. - Wow. It's the biggest cookie ever! (Cookie Monster grunting) - One small problem. It also heaviest cookie ever. Me can't get it into cart to take to picnic. - Elmo wonders if we can help Cookie Monster lift his cookie. (all grunting) - I have an idea. What if we push it to the cart instead? Let's try that. (all grunting) - Oh no. Me make beautiful, most-amazing cookie ever,
52:09 but it too heavy to move to picnic and share with friends. Oh, well. Me guess me have to eat it alone. Excuse me. - Hold that bite, Cookie Monster. What if we use a lever to get it into the cart? - Hmm. Lever, yes. Lever. Now that a good idea. That a good one. Lever. - You don't know what a lever is. - No clue. - [Ameera] A lever helps you lift heavy things. When you push down here, it makes the thing you're trying to lift go up like this. - Elmo wonders if we can build a lever ourselves. - All we need is the will to learn, a bit of luck, and presto, we have ourselves a lever.
52:57 That looks like a lever alright. Let's try. (gears clicking) I wonder what we should use for this piece. We need something strong and sturdy. Anyone have any ideas? - Strong and sturdy? Ah, boy. Let's see. Oh, what if we use bodybuilder chicken? (chicken clucking) - Not that kind of strong and sturdy. (chicken clucks sadly) - Oh-oh. Elmo knows. What if we use a rock? - Great idea, Elmo. Let's try. - Okay, me got the perfect rock. All righty. Lift cookie. - (laughing) Hold on, Cookie Monster. We still need the second piece of our lever.
53:44 - Elmo wonders if we can use this stick. - Ooh, I wonder too. Let's try. (bright music) Once we push on this end of the stick, the other end should lift the cookie. Ready? 3, 2, 1. (lever snaps) - Elmo's no expert, but maybe that stick wasn't strong enough. - Hmm. Me think me have something strong. (drawer slams) Okay. (humming) What we got in here? One of these? No. Um... Oh. Ooh. (chicken clucking) What if we use this for lever? Oh, sorry chicken. Me bring back your shelf soon. (chicken clucks) - Let's try.
54:30 Ready? 3, 2, 1. (bright music) - That works! That lever works. - All right! - Finally. Picnic time. (gears clicking) (light music) - Would Ameera care for some carrots? - Mmm. So crispy. May I offer you some of this amazing banana corn? - Why thank you. (chomping) - Now me share giant cookie. Hi-ya-ha! One piece for you, one piece for you, and one piece for you, and finally, one giant cookie piece for me. (Cookie Monster chomping) (Elmo and Ameera laughing)
55:16 (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are bridges? - Let's find out. (Cookie Monster humming) Ooh! (Elmo and Ameera humming) - (giggling) Elmo loves our sand village. - Yeah. How you like me bakery? Little Cookie Monster's been baking cookies all day long. Want one? - Why thank you. Little Elmo would love a cookie. Om-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom-nom. - So would Little Ameera. - Would Little Elephant also like a cookie? (Elephant humming) - Oh, not right now, thank you.
56:02 Little elephant is making a stream to go around the village. - Great idea, Little Elephant. Looks like it's just missing some- (Elephant trumpets) (water splashes) Water. Well, good timing. Little Ameera was just heading over to the garden to water the plants. - Oh. Oh. Little Elmo wants to help water the plants. - This way, Little Elmo. Oh wait. Our garden is on the other side of the stream. - Elmo wonders how we can get across it. - Yeah, yeah. This a puzzle. Oh boy. Well, what if Little Elmo and Little Ameera fly across? - That's a great idea for someone with wings, which unfortunately is not Little Ameera or Little Elmo for that matter. - Well, what if Little Ameera and Little Elmo
56:48 dance across? - Elmo doesn't know. That seems dangerous. - I think you're right, Elmo. I mean, Little Elmo. What our little village needs is a bridge to go over our new stream. A bridge is something you use to cross over things like a road or a valley or even a stream. Bridges have different designs for different uses, but they need to be the right size in order to work properly. - What if this branch is our bridge? Let me try. What do you think? Is this a good bridge? (laughing) - Well, the branch does go over the stream. - Yeah, and up the street and into me bakery
57:36 and out of me bakery. - Oh, you're right! (laughing) Too long. We need a bridge that's a better size. - What if we try this crayon? (playful music) - Oh. (giggling) The crayon was too short. - So, we need a bridge that's shorter than the branch but longer than the crayon. - Oh, me wonder if this doohickey is long enough. Yeah, me going to try. - It's long enough but not very wide. Look, our rock friends could fall off. - Huh. There's gotta be a perfect bridge lying somewhere in this park. (lively music)
58:34 (chicken clucks) (lively music continues) (music fades) (playful music) - Me thought me found the perfect stick, but now me realize it's still too skinny for rock friends. - Oh, you know what? Elmo made the same mistake. This stick is also too skinny. - (sighs) That's funny. So is mine. I guess I didn't pay enough attention to its width. - Yeah, well apparently, I wasn't paying attention either because mine is also too... Wait a minute! Look at the sticks, everyone! - Hey, that bridge looks wide enough for our rock friends.
59:23 (Elephant giggles) - Is the bridge safe, Ameera? - I think so, Elmo. The sticks are long enough to reach both sides, and together, they're wide enough to let our rock friends walk over the stream safely. Watch. (humming) - Wait for Little Elmo. Wee! - (humming) Woo! Little Elephant thinks it's a very nice bridge. - [Cookie Monster] Yeah. Don't forget little Cookie Monster. - Oh, Elmo loves this bridge. Let's cross it again. (giggling) (all humming) ♪ To the bakery ♪ - And again! - Okay. (all humming)
1:00:09 ♪ To the bakery ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ ♪ To the bakery ♪ ♪ Here we go ♪ (humming and singing fade) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are pulleys? - Let's find out. (Elmo and Ameera laughing) Welcome chickens near and far. Today you're the audience for our brand new play, "The Pilot Visits the Amazing Farmer." When Cookie Monster says, "Welcome to my farm," Turtle's gonna dump feathers down.
1:00:54 (music chimes) and that's when we need you to give a great big cheer. - Oh, oh. Okay, me practice. Okay, ready? (clears throat) Welcome to me farm. - And here come the feathers! - Now you cheer! (chickens cheering) (chickens clucking) - [Muppets] Yay! - That was fantastic! All right. Now that we've practiced, let's start our play. Once upon a time, there was a little pilot who was flying through the sky. Psst. Elmo. That's your cue. - Whoa! Pilot Elmo sure loves flying, but Pilot Elmo wishes he could find a friend to play with. Maybe down below on that farm.
1:01:40 - And that's when he met the amazing farmer. (pleasant music) - (clears throat) Welcome! Oh boy. What me line again? What? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Got it, me got it. Me got it. Okay. (clears throat) Welcome to me farm. Okay, Turtle. Feather time. - Oh, that's me. On it! (Turtle grunting) (chicken clucking) - Uh, yeah. Uh, that part's definitely not in the script. Hey Turtle, you okay up there? - Mostly. I got kind of nervous and the bucket slipped right outta my hands.
1:02:26 (disappointing music) (chicken clucks) - No worries. We'll just get the bucket back up there and we can start the play again. - Here we go. (grunting) Gah! Oh, this bucket is way too heavy for me to lift. (chicken clucking) (all chickens clucking) - Uh, Ameera. Me think audience is getting restless. - Uh, listen up, chicken friends. Our play is having some technical difficulties. Ooh, and while you wait, here's chicken with her amazing broom dance. (lively music) - Me wonder how we get those feathers up to turtle.
1:03:13 - Any ideas, Ameera? - To get the bucket back up to turtle, I think we can use a pulley. ♪ Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy, we you gonna do... ♪ Wait a minute. What a pulley? - [Ameera] A pulley is something you can use to lift heavy things like our bucket and even light things like a flag on a flagpole. - Elmo wonders what we can use to make our own pulley. - We already have a rope. Now we're gonna need a wheel. - Ah-ha-ha! What if we use this toy truck? Yeah, it already missing a wheel, so maybe we could use this other wheel as our pulley. - Oh yeah, Cookie. Let's try that. - Now we just need to attach it to something we can spin it around on.
1:04:00 - Oh! Let's try and see if the wheel can spin around this. (playful music) (sighs) Okay, it's attached. - Now, if you can loop the rope over the wheel and send it down to us, we can get the bucket back up to you easy. (light music) Okay, Elmo and Cookie, are you ready to see if our pulley works? - Are we ever. - (grunts) Okay, we're pulling. - Here it comes. Almost there. (all cheering) - Ameera, you did it. You made a pulley and I got my bucket of feathers back. And now we can get back to our play.
1:04:49 - So where were we? Okay. After our little pilot landed on the beautiful green farm, he met his new friend, the amazing farmer. - (clears throat) Welcome to me farm. - And here come the feathers! (chickens clucking) (chickens cheering) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are ramps? - Let's find out.
1:05:36 Are you racers ready? (Turtle and Elmo vrooming) - [Turtle And Elmo] Ready. - Then we're off. (upbeat music) (Turtle and Elmo vrooming) Ameera's awesome race is off to a great start. Cars are moving very fast. (Turtle and Elmo vrooming) But the road is very slick with leaves. (Elmo giggles) (Turtle giggles) - Hang on. - And we're onto the next stretch. There's Halum. Everyone say hi. - Hi. (laughing) (Turtle and Elmo vrooming) - Honk, honk. Hello. - Beep, beep. Bye-Bye. - Sorry. - Oh. Oh, that's okay. (Turtle and Elmo vrooming and honking)
1:06:23 - [Ameera] Elephant in the road. - Wow. (Elmo squeals) - Elephant, do you mind if we go over? - Oh. (giggling) Not at all. (Turtle and Elmo vrooming) - Honk, honk. - See ya! (Turtle and Elmo vrooming) - Okay. Pay attention, racers. Crooked mountain road ahead. (upbeat music) (Turtle and Elmo imitate tires squealing) Alright, racers, the cars are stopped at this mountain cliff. What are we going to do? - Huh. - Elmo thinks we need to find a way to roll down the cliff.
1:07:08 - Yeah, something like... Like the way we rolled down elephant's trunk. - Right. And something you can roll down is called a... I use them all the time with my wheelchair. A... - Oh-oh. Elmo knows. A ramp. - Yes, a ramp. Ramps are sloping surfaces that go from high to low or low to high. - So maybe there's something in the shed that lets us go from here to here. - Good idea. (Cookie Monster humming) - Cookie Monster, Elmo and Turtle need a ramp
1:07:56 to get down the mountain cliff. - Well, you've come to the right shed. (lever cranks) (drawer opens) Okay. Wonder what me have to make a ramp. Uh, oh. Wheel. Yeah. No, that good for going down ramp. Not good for making ramp. Uh, we got chicken. No, that not good for ramp. (chicken clucks) Uh, ooh. Excuse me. Sorry. This yours. - Uh, oh. - Uh, and, uh, oh. What if we use cardboard? - Piece of cardboard, eh? Yeah, let's try it. (Cookie Monster grunts) (drawer slams shut) - Uh, that might be a bit long. - Hi-ya-ho! - (giggling) Thanks, Cookie. Nice karate moves.
1:08:41 - Now let's make a ramp. (playful music) Okay, Elmo, release that car. (light music) This is taking a long time. - Elmo wonders why it's not going down the ramp very fast. - What if we try my car? Maybe it will move faster. (playful music) It could be the bumps on the ramp. Bumpy ramps slow down my wheelchair too. - Elmo wonders how we can get our cars to go down the ramp faster. - Oh, this cardboard sure is bumpy. But, huh.
1:09:27 Well... But what if we use this other side? Well it seems a lot smoother. - It feels like the slide in our playground. Let's try it. - Okay, we've got a bumpy ramp and a smooth ramp. - Let's find out which ramp helps move the car faster. Yellow car on the bumpy ramp. - Or blue car on the smooth ramp. - Get ready. And... Go! (playful music) - Wow. The bumpy ramp was slower than the smooth ramp. - Looks like smooth ramps are the way to go, people. So Ameera's awesome race continues using the smooth ramp.
1:10:13 (playful music) (muppets cheering) (muppets laughing) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are bridges? - Let's find out. Welcome, blue furry friend and flock of feathered friends- (chickens cluck) To today's exciting game of... How many pebbles can this bridge hold? (chickens clucking) Are we ready to meet our brilliant bridge-building team?
1:10:58 (chickens clucking) - Oh boy. - All the way from over there, we've got Elmo. (chicken clucking) And coming from over here is the one-and-only Ameera. (chickens clucking) - Hello. Oh, look at you. Oh. Oh, it's great to be here. - Elmo and Ameera will work together to build a bridge out of... Wait for it. Paper! (giggling) Then they'll test their bridge by seeing how many pebbles it can hold. - Ameera, Elmo forgot to ask.
1:11:43 What's a bridge? - [Ameera] A bridge is something that helps you cross from one place to another. Bridges are used all over the world. They can be very small or very big. And they're made of all different kinds of materials like wood, rope, or metal. Some bridges are shaped differently to hold more weight. - Our bridge expert, Elmo, will now lay a piece of paper across the two blocks to make a bridge. (playful music) - But how many pebbles can it hold?
1:12:31 - Elmo will now place one pebble onto the bridge? Ah. Oh! (chickens clucking sadly) - Hmm. Not exactly what I call a strong bridge. I wonder. What can we do to make it stronger? - Maybe Elmo can use a few more pieces of paper. - Now watch as Elmo places the pebble very gently right in the middle of the bridge. (chickens clucking) (chicken clucks) - Oh no. Elmo used all that paper and the bridge still wasn't strong enough. - Don't worry, Elmo. Maybe we can find a different way to make a stronger bridge.
1:13:18 What else can we try? Oh. Thanks. Okay. Let's think back to all the different bridges we saw. They all used different shapes to make them stronger. - [Elmo] Oh-ho-ho. Elmo knows that shape. - What if we use the paper to make that same shape for our bridge? - Oh. Good idea. Let's try it. (playful music) - Are we ready to test out Elmo and Ameera's new bridge? (chickens clucking) - Elmo's ready too. (lively music)
1:14:04 Ooh. Wah. - (gasps) It working! (chickens clucking) - Yes! But but will it hold two pebbles? I wonder. - We're all wondering the same thing. Here goes everything. (lively music) (chickens clucking) - Yes! - Oh-ho-ho. It held. Elmo says, let's try a third pebble. - Monsters and chickens, a third pebble? (chickens clucking) - What will they think of next? (lively music) - [Ameera] Two more pebbles to go.
1:14:49 Let's try for lucky pebble number four. (audience cheering) - Elmo going to try five pebbles. (lively music) (chickens clucking) - That's 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 pebbles. Ameera and Elmo, you have set a new record. Your cool new bridge can hold five, count 'em, five pebbles. (chickens clucking) (muppets cheering) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What is a shadow?
1:15:36 - Let's find out. - Oh, Ameera. (giggling) Look. Turtle is building a tower. It's a surprise for our friend, Triangle. - Turtle! This is a very cool tower. Triangle is gonna love it. - Thanks. Now I just have to place this final block on the tippy top. (sighs) Woo-hoo! The tower for our friend Triangle is finished. - Whoa. Um, everybody, you're not gonna believe this, but Elmo sees one tower here and one tower there. Hm. How did that happen? - [Ameera] The sun made that tower, Elmo.
1:16:24 - [Elmo] But how? - [Ameera] When something like this block is in front of the light, it makes a shadow. And if you put more blocks together and make a tower, you get a tower shadow. And if you change the blocks, the shadow changes too. - So does the sun make shadows for everything? Even Elmo? - Oh! (giggling) Yeah! Hello, Elmo's shadow. Whoa-ho. (giggling) - Wait. So when the sunlight goes away, my awesome tower's shadow will go away too? Oh. - What if we trace the shadow? That way, the shape of the shadow will still be here even after the light has gone away.
1:17:11 - Elmo can trace it with this stick. - Oh, thanks Elmo. While you do that, I'll go get Triangle. Oh, I can't wait until Triangle sees her tower. She's gonna love it. - Done! Elmo traced the shadow and... (blocks clatter) Oh, no! - It's okay, Elmo. It was an accident. - But Turtle is gonna come back with Triangle and, and... And her surprise tower will be gone. - Hey, what if you just built a new tower, Elmo? And me can help. - Great idea, Cookie Monster. Let's try it. (gears clicking) (playful music) Um, it's a tower, all right, but it doesn't look like the same tower we made before. - Elmo wonders how we can make it look exactly like that tower.
1:17:57 - We need to put the right blocks in the right places. Do you remember which blocks were on the bottom, Elmo? - Hmm. No. - Elmo! See how the shadow you traced is different from the new tower's shadow? What if we used your tracing as our guide to rebuild the tower? - Oh-ho-ho-ho. Let's try! - [Ameera] I wonder what block made this shape. - Hmm. What if we try this block? No, this shadow doesn't match the shadow Elmo traced before. - [Cookie Monster] What if we try looking for a block that has this shape? Yeah. Oh boy. That look like half of a nice, delicious cookie. Mmm. Nummy, nummy. Ha. - Good idea, Cookie Monster. Elmo will try.
1:18:43 (soft music) - [Ameera] Way to go, Elmo. Okay, let's look at your tracing to figure out what shapes we need to build the rest of the tower. - Oh yeah, yeah, yeah. We got to hurry. Turtle and Triangle are gonna be back any second. (lively music) (Elmo giggling) - Oh, oh. Elmo knows which block goes on the tippy top. It's a- - Triangle! Turtle! Hi! - Alright, Triangle. Get ready.
1:19:28 - Oh, I just love surprises. (giggling) (bell dings) - Ta-da! - Oh. I love towers with Triangles at the tippy top. I guess that's no surprise. (giggling) Oh, thanks everyone. - But, but Turtle. Elmo has to tell you something. Elmo accidentally knocked your first tower down. So Elmo had to rebuild it. - Whoa, really? But it looks exactly the same. - That's because we used Elmo's tracing of its shadow to help us figure out how to make it again. - Well, then it looks like Elmo just invented a great new game. The knock it down and build it again game.
1:20:14 - [Cookie Monster] Hi-ya! - [Ameera] Okay, everybody. (Elmo giggling) (Cookie Monster humming) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What is a shadow? - Let's find out. (Elmo grunting) (quirky music) (Elmo giggling) (Elmo scatting and humming) (Turtle giggling) - Turtle, Elmo didn't see you there. - What you doing, Elmo? - Oh, Elmo's playing with his shadow.
1:21:00 Watch. - Oh, it looks like your shadow is as fast as you are. - I saw Elmo dancing and I just had to join in. Check this out. Wee! (giggling) - (giggling) Your shadow's spinning too. I wonder if my shadow will follow what I do. (Turtle humming) (upbeat music) (wind whistling) (all humming) - (gasps) Now wait a minute. Where did our shadows go? - Huh? Whoa. Our shadows were doing everything we were doing, but now they're gone.
1:21:47 Oh, shadow! Oh, Shadow! Where'd ya go? (playful music) - Okay, everybody, do not worry. Our shadows have gotta be here somewhere. We just need to look everywhere. (gears clicking) (mysterious music) (music concludes) (wind whistles) - Look, Elmo's shadow is back. - Mine too. - (gasps) I see all of our shadows! Hooray! Our shadows! (all cheering)
1:22:35 - Wait. What are we hooray-ing? - Our shadows disappeared and then came back. But Elmo doesn't know why, Ameera. - Hmm. Maybe I can help with that. Shadows are made when something blocks the light like an object or a person. But look what happens when there's no more light. (wind blows) See? No light, no shadow. - Hmm. But Elmo still wonders, why did our shadows disappear? - Well, Elmo, the light that made your shadow came from the sun, but it's pretty cloudy today, so what if the clouds blocked the light from the sun and that's what made your shadows disappear. - Elmo's not sure Elmo gets it. - Hm. Me neither. - Me neither. - Tell you what.
1:23:20 Let's try making our own shadows. Maybe that'll help you understand better. (gears clicking) So, Cookie Monster, the first thing we need to make shadows is light. - Me got lots of light for you, Ameera. (devices whirring) (electricity buzzes) - Thanks, Cookie Monster. Now we need some things to block that light. - Okay, here we go. Ah, let's see. We got a kite. ♪ Dingy, dingy, dingy ♪ Ooh, a parasol. A sunflower. Yeah. Oh and a trumpet. (Cookie Monster inhales) (trumpet toots) - Whoa-ho-ho. Well, I didn't know you played the trumpet, Cookie. - Yeah, well, you know, me monster of many talents. Okay, let's try to make a shadow out of one of these.
1:24:06 But which one? (playful music) - Oh dear. I wonder if Elmo will be able to make... Oh! A shadow! Wow! All right. - Ooh. - Yeah. - Awesome shadow, Elmo. But now I wonder what will happen to the shadow if we block all the light. - I'll try it! (Elephant trumpets) - (gasps) Oh, Elmo gets it now. The flower's shadow disappeared when elephant blocked the light. Just like our shadows disappeared when the clouds blocked the sun. - That means if I stop blocking the light, the sunflower's shadow should come back. (magical music) - Wow. - Wow.
1:24:51 - That's awesome. - Cool. - Ooh, ooh. Can I try making a shadow? - Go for it, Turtle. (playful music) - Oh. What if Elmo blocks the light with this kite? (magical music) I think you've all got this shadow thing figured out. Who needs the sun when Elmo and Turtle can keep making shadows right here. Time for a shadow dance. - Hoo-hoo! - Yeah! (all cheering) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering)
1:25:36 - What are pulleys? - Let's find out. (playful music) And done. Okay, messenger chicken. Please rush this message over to Elmo in the land of trees. (chicken gobbling) - Aw, Elmo loves Ameera's drawing. Now it's Elmo's turn to draw. There. Okay messenger chicken, please hurry this to Ameera way far away in the land of picnic tables. (playful music) (chicken clucking) - Yes, it is a long way to the land of trees, Chicken. Let's see what Elmo drew. Aw. Elmo drew a drawing of Elmo. (chuckles) My turn to draw again.
1:26:22 Let's see. ♪ Dumdy dumb, dumdy-dumdy-dum. ♪ Ah, me love laundry day. Oh, hi, Ameera. What you doing? - Hi Cookie. Elmo and I are pretending we're living in two different places far away from each other. - Elmo and Ameera are sending pictures to each other with the help of messenger chicken. - Oh, that sounds fun. Maybe me can play too when me finished with laundry. ♪ Dumdy-dum, dumdy-dumdy-dum ♪ - Okay, I'm ready to send my drawing to Elmo, Messenger Chicken. (mysterious music) Uh... Messenger chicken? (chickens clucking quietly) Uh-oh. Uh, Elmo. This might take a minute. Having a little trouble with our, uh,
1:27:08 delivery system over here. - Hurry, Ameera. Elmo can't wait to see what Ameera is drawing. - Hm. I wonder how I'm gonna get this message all the way back to the land of trees. (birds twittering) (magical music) (gasps) Got it. I can try to fold the drawing into a paper airplane and fly it over to Elmo. (playful music) - Uh-oh, that no work. How are you gonna get message to Elmo now, Ameera? - Not sure, but there's gotta be a way. Hey look! A ball. What if I roll my drawing over to Elmo? (playful music) Oh, no. That didn't work either.
1:27:53 - Well, me believe in you, Ameera. You smart. Yeah. Maybe you can build something to get message to Elmo. - Well, maybe I can. Hmm. I need something that can move things from place to place. Let's see. Mmm... Got it! We can use a pulley! (clothesline squeaks) - Uh, what a pulley? - [Ameera] A pulley is a machine that uses one or more wheels, plus rope, cable or a belt, to move thing's along. I bet a pulley will let us slide our drawings back and forth. First, I'm gonna need some wheels. Got any in the shed, Cookie Monster? - Thought you'd never ask. Me check and see. Me not sure, but uh, this not a pull, right?
1:28:39 - [Ameera] Nope. - Well this definitely a wheel. - [Ameera] But it's a little too big. - Hello over there. Did Ameera send a message to Elmo yet? - Not yet, Elmo. - Oh, me sorry me can't help, Ameera. Now we got to finish taking this laundry down from clothesline. - Wait a second. Clothesline? (magical music) Cookie, that's it! Your clothesline has something else we forgot about. - You mean Uncle Louie's socks? - Uh, not the socks. What I mean is, your clothes line already is the perfect pulley. See that wheel over there with the rope going around it? Bending around? That's a pulley. And over there on the other end, another pulley. Can Elmo and I use your clothesline for our game, Cookie?
1:29:25 - Of course. Me just need to get Louie's socks. - Hey, Elmo! We're moving the game over to the clothes line. Can you stand over there? - Sure thing, Ameera. - Okay, message finally coming your way, Elmo, thanks to Cookie Monster and his polley. - The pulley's working. Yeah! Oh, here comes Ameera's drawing. Oh-ho-ho. Elmo loves it. Now Elmo would draw something to thank Cookie Monster for lending his pulley. Wait a minute. You make drawing for me? Me so honored. - Okay. Here comes Elmo's drawing. - Oh boy, oh boy. Me see it coming. This pulley sure work great. - It sure does, and best of all, we can send messages without waking up Chicken.
1:30:10 (chicken clucks softly) - It a cookie. (gasps) Can we eat it? Oh please, oh please, oh please? - Oh, yes, Cookie Monster. - Thank you. (Cookie Monster munching) (Elmo and Ameera laughing) (bubbles popping) (lively music) (devices whirring and whooshing) (film reel fluttering) - What are ramps? - Let's find out. Hey, Turtle. Elmo! Whatcha doing? - Uh, me guess it's some kind of cookie-delivering machine, right? - Not exactly, Cookie. It's time for the first-ever Elmo and Turtle...
1:30:55 - [Elmo And Turtle] Super fast games! - 'Cause you know how I love speed. Whoosh. (chickens cheering) - Looks like you've built yourselves a great little racetrack. Yep. And here's our cheering crowd. Woo-woo. Woo-woo-woo. Yeah, wow-ow-ow. The crowd goes wild! - Oh-ho-ho, and into the stadium comes our mighty athlete. (giggling) - She's gonna race over the track super fast and ring that bell at the finish line. (bell dings) And then she'll be the winner of the first-ever... - [Elmo And Turtle] Elmo and Turtle Super Fast Games. (chickens cheering)
1:31:42 - Need an announcer? - And a band? (chickens clucking) - Let the games begin! (gears clicking) - Hello everybody. Welcome to the first-ever Elmo and Turtle Super Fast Games. (Ameera imitates crowd roaring) The crowd cheers as our mighty athlete, red rubber ball found in back of the shed drawer,
