00:00Oh, hi! Welcome to Sesame Street.
00:12Selena, Selena, Selena!
00:14Uh, yes, Elmo?
00:15Does Selena know what the letter of the day is?
00:18Uh, no, I don't.
00:20Why do you want to know the letter of the day?
00:22Oh, because Elmo is hoping it's E, like the first letter in Elmo.
00:27Oh.
00:27Oh, wait, wait, wait, Elmo knows how Elmo can find out what the letter of the day is.
00:32How?
00:33Like this.
00:35Hi, what's the letter of the day?
00:39Uh, Elmo?
00:40Hmm?
00:41I don't think you can find out the letter of the day by shouting,
00:44Hey, what's the letter of the day?
00:48Elmo can't?
00:49No, I think you have to shout, um,
00:52Hey, what's the letter of the day?
00:55Please?
00:55Oh, good, Selena, good point.
01:00That's why you're the grown-up.
01:03Hey, what's the letter of the day?
01:06Please?
01:07Sesame Street will be brought to you today by the letter O.
01:13Oh.
01:14The letter O?
01:16But Elmo really wanted the letter of the day to be E, like Elmo.
01:20Sesame Street will be brought to you today by the letter O.
01:26Oh, sorry, Elmo.
01:29Selena?
01:30Yeah?
01:30Can Elmo change the letter of the day?
01:33Change the letter of the day?
01:35Yeah.
01:35I don't know if anyone's ever changed the letter of the day before.
01:40Really?
01:41No.
01:41Well, in that case, Elmo will be the first.
01:45The letter of the day is going to be E.
01:48Sesame Street will be brought to you today by the letter O.
01:52Not for long.
01:55Be right back, Selena.
01:56Be right back.
02:00Selena?
02:01Selena?
02:02Oh, hey, Elmo.
02:03Oh, can you help Elmo, please?
02:04Sure.
02:05Can you pick Elmo up?
02:06Oh, okay.
02:06Oh, good.
02:07Here we go.
02:08All right.
02:08Okay, how's that?
02:09Oh, that's good.
02:10Good right there, right there.
02:11Okay.
02:11Okay.
02:12Okay.
02:12Ah, there.
02:16See, now the letter O is gone.
02:19See, now Elmo will write the letter E.
02:22Okay.
02:23Sesame Street will be brought to you today by the letter O.
02:30Put Elmo down, Selena, please.
02:32Oh, I'm sorry, Elmo.
02:35Well, don't worry, Selena.
02:37Elmo's not giving up yet.
02:39Sesame Street will be brought to you today by the letter E.
02:42Selena will see.
02:43You'll see, too.
02:48Okay, everybody.
02:50Take the letter E.
02:52Why, Elmo?
02:53Because, Jessica, Elmo's changing the letter of the day to the letter E.
02:58Elmo wants that to be E's all over Sesame Street.
03:02Okay, Elmo.
03:03Good.
03:03Thanks, Elmo.
03:05Oh, you're welcome.
03:06Bye, Elmo.
03:06Bye.
03:07Bye.
03:07Bye.
03:08Enjoy.
03:09Wow, Elmo.
03:11Hi, Selena.
03:12It looks like you really are trying to change the letter of the day to E, aren't you?
03:16Yeah.
03:17So far, Elmo gave a letter E talk, but that didn't work.
03:21And then Elmo did a letter E dance, but that didn't work either.
03:25So now, now Elmo is giving E's to all of Elmo's friends, and that is going to work.
03:32Oh, Selena?
03:33Yeah.
03:34You want a letter E?
03:34Oh, yeah.
03:37Good.
03:37Elmo must have changed the letter of the day to E by now.
03:42Well, Elmo, I don't want you to get your hopes up too high.
03:46Well, why not, Selena?
03:48Because Sesame Street will be brought to you today by the letter O.
03:55That's why.
03:57Here, take a look.
03:58Oh, you know what Elmo thinks, Selena?
04:08Well, Elmo thinks the letter of the day is still the letter O.
04:09Yeah, it looks that way, Elmo.
04:12Yeah.
04:14And Elmo really wanted to change the letter of the day to E.
04:18Sesame Street will be brought to you today by the letter O.
04:23All right.
04:24Enough already.
04:25Elmo heard you.
04:26Some people.
04:27Hey, Elmo, can I tell you a story?
04:32Are there any O's in it?
04:34Uh, uh-uh.
04:35Okay, go ahead.
04:37Okay.
04:37Well, when I was a little girl, there was this big tree in my yard that I really wanted to
04:43climb.
04:44Huh?
04:44But no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't climb it.
04:49Selena was too small?
04:51I guess so.
04:53So you know what I did?
04:54What?
04:54I went out and found another tree that I could climb.
04:58Oh, that is very nice, Selena.
05:00Yeah.
05:01So what's Selena's point?
05:04Oh, well, maybe it's the same for you.
05:07Maybe trying to change the letter of the day is like trying to climb that big tree in my yard.
05:12It's just something that you can't do.
05:16So Selena's saying that Elmo should stop trying to change the letter of the day and do something
05:23Elmo can do?
05:25Well, maybe.
05:28Hmm.
05:30Well, maybe Selena's right.
05:35Or maybe Selena's wrong.
05:38Wrong?
05:39Yeah, maybe, maybe Elmo just needs a few more letter E's on Sesame Street.
05:44And maybe a good letter E song.
05:47A letter E song?
05:48Yeah.
05:49Oh, thanks for the story, Selena.
05:51But Elmo's going to keep trying.
05:53And Elmo is going to change the letter of the day or Elmo's name is not Elmo.
05:59Oh, with an E.
06:01This is just what Elmo needs to change the letter of the day.
06:11Oh, oh, time to start.
06:13Ready for Elmo's letter E song?
06:15Ready, Elmo.
06:17Then let's kick it!
06:20It's time for Elmo's letter E song.
06:24Once you learn it, you can sing along.
06:27E, E, E, E, E.
06:32E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E.
06:36It's not too hard to do, as you can see.
06:39Just keep on saying the letter E.
06:43E, E, E, E, E.
06:47E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E.
06:51E starts Elmo.
06:53E starts O.
06:55And E's okay when it's all by yourself.
06:59E, E, E, E, E, E.
07:02E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E.
07:06E's got shape.
07:09E's got style.
07:10The letter E makes Elmo smile.
07:13E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E.
07:21Now Elmo's letter E song is done.
07:26Hope you like it, because Elmo had fun.
07:29E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E.
07:36Come on.
07:37E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E, E.
07:43E, E.
07:45¡Vamos, esto!
07:47Yeah, it's nice dancing.
07:49Though the letter of the day will be the letter E.
07:55The letter O is here to stay.
07:58Uh-uh.
07:59O is still the letter of the day.
08:01Come on, come on.
08:02O.
08:03E.
08:04E.
08:05E.
08:06E.
08:07E.
08:08E.
08:09E.
08:10E.
08:11Oh, no.
08:20Selena, this has been a terrible day.
08:24Just terrible.
08:25A total washout.
08:28Oh, you couldn't change the letter of the day, huh?
08:32No.
08:33And Elmo tried everything.
08:35Elmo gave a letter E talk,
08:38Elmo did a letter E dance,
08:40Elmo gave letter E's to Elmo's friends.
08:43Elmo changed the kingdom of O to the kingdom of A.
08:46Elmo even said a letter E song.
08:49And guess what the letter of the day is, Selina?
08:51The letter of the day is the letter O.
08:55Elmo wasn't talking to you.
08:57Boy, he makes Elmo mad.
08:59Oh, I'm sorry, Elmo.
09:01But you did try your best.
09:03And that's what's important.
09:06Yeah.
09:08I don't know why you're so upset, Elmo.
09:12Look, O may not be the first letter of your name,
09:15but it is the last letter of your name.
09:18It is?
09:20Sure. Watch this.
09:23See the letter O?
09:25Oh, yeah.
09:26O is the last letter of Elmo's name.
09:29Happy, Elmo?
09:31No.
09:33But Elmo will tell Mr. Boyce what would make Elmo happy.
09:37A little cooperation.
09:40Cooperation?
09:41What's that?
09:42Well, cooperation is when you work together.
09:46Like for instance, Elmo wants the letter of the day to be E,
09:50right?
09:51Right.
09:52And Mr. Boyce wants the letter of the day to be O, right?
09:56Right.
09:57So, Elmo, if Elmo and Mr. Boyce cooperated, there could be two letters of the day. O and E. Pretty cool, huh?
10:09Yes. That is pretty cool, Elmo.
10:13So, what does Mr. Boyce say? Would Mr. Boyce like to cooperate with Elmo?
10:19Well, I probably shouldn't do this, but okay. I'll give it a try. I will cooperate.
10:28Oh, that's great, Mr. Boyce.
10:30That's wonderful.
10:31All right, Elmo. Tell me if I'm doing it right.
10:34Ahem.
10:35No, no, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Um, music, please. Oh, that's good.
10:41Sesame Street was brought to you today by the letter O.
10:45Like the last letter in Elmo's name.
10:48And by the letter E.
10:51Like the first letter in Elmo's name.
10:55Oh, pretty good. That was perfect, Mr. Boyce. That was very good cooperated.
11:02Thank you, Elmo.
11:04Thank you, Mr. Boyce.
11:06Sesame Street was also brought to you today by the number three.
11:11You did it, Elmo. You did. You tried and tried again and you got the letter E to be one of the letters of the day. I'm so proud of you.
11:23Thank you, Selina. Now, let's go find a big tree for Selina to climb. Elmo's going to teach Selina how to keep trying.
11:34Okay, Elmo. Let's go.
11:36Okay. Bye.
11:38Bye.
