00:00Oh, hi. Welcome to Sesame Street. Do you know what book Elmo is looking at? It's called Zoo Animals. Elmo loves zoo animals and Elmo loves this book.
00:20Oh, hey, hey. Elmo has an idea. Elmo will show you an animal in this book and you guess what sound it makes. Okay? Ready? Here we go. Here's a lion. What sound does a lion make? That's right. Roar. Roar. Great roaring. Let's roar again. Roar.
00:45Do you know what this is? Right. A monkey. Okay. What sound does a monkey make? Good. Great monkey sounds. Now, here's another animal in the zoo that Elmo loves. This is a tough one. Elmo's going to try and sound like an elephant.
01:07Roar. Roar. Roar. Roar. Hey, you made a different elephant sound. But Elmo really likes the way you did yours. Do you want to hear Elmo's again? Okay.
01:20Hi, Elmo. What's up? Oh, hello, Leah. We were just playing a guessing game. Oh.
01:26See, Elmo shows pictures from the zoo animals book and then we all met the safety animals mix.
01:34Oh. You know what, Elmo? Going to the zoo is my most favorite thing to do.
01:41Ah. Elmo's too. Elmo's too.
01:44Well, see ya. Gotta go to work now.
01:49Oh, boy. Did you hear that? Maria likes going to the zoo too.
01:55Oh. Oh, maybe Maria can take Elmo to the zoo right now. Hey, Maria. Will you take Elmo to the zoo?
02:05Maria. Maria.
02:06Hi, Elmo.
02:07Hi. Oh, take Elmo to the zoo, please. Come on, Maria. Elmo wants to see the lions, tigers, and monkeys.
02:13Oh, Elmo. I would love to take you to the zoo, but I can't. See, I have to fix this fan and this cuckoo clock.
02:22Oh, but Maria says she loves the zoo.
02:25I do. I love going to the zoo, but I'm too busy, you know? Maybe some other time.
02:32You know what, Elmo?
02:33What?
02:33We can make a date.
02:36Oh, but it makes Elmo so sad that Maria can't go to the zoo.
02:41Oh, well, you know what, Elmo?
02:44It makes me sad, too.
02:46It does?
02:47Yeah, because I love going to the zoo, but I can't.
02:53Oh.
02:55Hey.
02:56Well, don't worry, Maria. Elmo has an idea. Just keep watching, Maria.
03:00Okay. Sorry I can't go to the zoo.
03:04Oh, Maria's sad because she can't go to the zoo, but Elmo has an idea that will make Maria happy.
03:10Don't go away.
03:14Let's see. What's wrong with this fan?
03:20What's that?
03:21I think it's a lion.
03:30That's right. It's a lion for you, Maria.
03:34Emily, is that you?
03:37Yes.
03:39That is really great pretending.
03:43Maria can't go to the zoo, so Elmo's bringing the zoo to Maria.
03:47Oh, Elmo, that's so nice of you, and that is a really great lion. Really good.
03:54But you know, right now, I have to get back to work.
03:57Okay, Maria.
03:58Raw, raw, raw.
04:00Wasn't that a great lion?
04:02Great lion, Elmo. Great.
04:09Do you hear a monkey?
04:11I think there's a monkey in the fix-it shop.
04:17Yeah, now Elmo's pretending to be a monkey, Maria.
04:21Elmo, that is a great monkey.
04:24I love it. It's wonderful, but I have to get back to work.

04:58I love it.
05:00Really?
05:01Yeah.
05:01Oh, good.

05:45Roar, roar, roar!
05:46That is great pretending, Elmo. I really thought you were a lion.
05:50Oh, good. Well, see, Maria was too busy to take Elmo to the zoo,
05:54so Elmo was pretending to be zoo animals.
05:57Does Baby Bear want to pretend to be zoo animals with Elmo?
06:01Then there'll be more animals to show, Maria.
06:04Well, that sounds like an offer. I cannot refuse.

13:39And Elmo's the lion.
13:41And Elmo's the bear.
13:43Yeah, we're just pretending to be animals at the zoo.
13:47Yeah, yeah, see, Maria can't go to the zoo today,
13:50so Elmo got all of his friends to be animals for Maria.
13:54Oh, wow.
13:55You guys look fantastic.
13:56And you know what?
13:57You remind me of a game called Three of These Things.
13:59Would you want to play?
14:00See, so Elmo loves games.
14:02Oh, cool.
14:03Games in college, my favorite.
14:04Yeah.
14:05All right.
14:06And you can play along with us.
14:07Ready?
14:08Oh, yeah.
14:09Okay.
14:10Okay.
14:11Everybody get your thinking caps on.
14:12Here we go.
14:13Okay.
14:14Three of these things belong together.
14:18Three of these things are kind of the same.
14:21But one of these things just doesn't belong here.
14:25Now it's time to play our game.
14:28It's time to play our game.
14:30All right.
14:31Nice harmony.
14:32Okay, Devon, do you know which three things are kind of the same?
14:35The lion, monkey, and bear.
14:37They're all pretend animals.
14:39Very, very good.
14:40Yeah, Devon.
14:41Good, Devon.
14:42That's right, because we have now a monster pretending to be a lion.
14:45Whoa.
14:46Oh, yeah.
14:47We have a bear pretending to be a monkey.
14:49And we have another monster pretending to be a bear.
14:54Gross.
14:55Oh, wow.
14:56That was great.
14:57Did you guys figure that out?
14:59Oh, Elmo knows what doesn't belong with the pretend animals.
15:03What?
15:04What?
15:05The rabbit.
15:06That's right.
15:07Because the rabbit is not pretend.
15:09It's really a real rabbit, right?
15:11Yeah.
15:12That was fun, Gina.
15:14But now we have to go find more friends to be animals for Maria.
15:19Can I have them, too?
15:21Oh, sure.
15:22Yeah.
15:23Devon, what animal would you like to be, Devon?
15:26Uh, a giraffe.
15:28Oh.
15:29A giraffe.
15:30Well, this is one terrific zoo.
15:33Yeah.
15:34Yeah.
15:35Roar.

15:51Roar.
15:52Oh, hi, Maria.
15:54Hi, Elmo.
15:55Roar.
15:56I see you're still pretending to be a lion.
15:59Yeah, is Maria still too busy to go to the zoo?
16:02Yes, I have to go back to work right now.
16:04Oh, but that's okay, Maria.
16:05That's why Elmo's still pretending to be this lion.
16:10So you can have fun at the zoo, even though you can't go.
16:13Oh, Elmo, that is so nice of you.
16:17I'll see you later.
16:18Oh, no, no, no, no, Maria, Maria.

16:58Good job.
16:59And a penguin.
17:01Oh, Maria, Maria.
17:04He says he's not a penguin.
17:06He's pretending to be a businessman on vacation visiting the zoo.
