00:03Peek-a-boo!

00:07Peek-a-boo!

00:10Oh, hi! Welcome to Sesame Street.

00:13Elmo and Rudy have a new friend, Morty.

00:16Oh, he's a sea turtle.

00:18Yeah, and he's real good at peek-a-boo.

00:20He doesn't even need to use his hand.

00:22Yeah, and it's a good thing, too,

00:24because sea turtles only have four flippers.

00:28One, two, three, four.

00:33Elmo and Rudy are going to show Morty around the neighborhood.

00:38Yeah, come on, let's go to hoopers.

00:40Come on!

00:41Okay.

00:45Get in there, get in there.

00:46Hey, Ellen!

00:47Ellen!

00:48Hi!

00:49Hey, guys.

00:50Hi!

00:51We want you to meet our new friend, Morty!

00:54Oh, um...

00:55Morty!

00:56Where's Morty?

00:57Morty!

00:58Morty!

00:59Morty, where'd you go, buddy?

01:00Yeah, your friend looked like he needed a lift.

01:02Oh!

01:03Here you go, Morty.

01:08Uh, thanks, Nina.

01:09You're welcome.

01:10Hiya, Morty.

01:11So, you're a sea turtle.

01:13Yeah.

01:14Yeah, but sometimes I wish I wasn't a turtle at all.

01:19Why?

01:20Well, because I move so slow.

01:23And by the time I get to a play date, everyone's already gone home.

01:31Oh, oh, oh, but turtles are really fast in the water.

01:35Yeah, I know, but nobody wants to have a play date in the middle of the ocean.

01:43Morty seems sad.

01:45Morty, you know, when Elmo is sad, Elmo's daddy sings a song to him to cheer him up.

01:52Oh, that's a great idea.

01:54Yeah.

01:55We can sing songs about how much we like turtles.

01:58That'll help make him feel better.

02:00Hold that song.

02:01Hold that song.

02:07Turtles live in ponds and streams.

02:10Tortoises live on land.

02:13Sea turtles live in oceans.

02:15That's me.

02:16Elmo thinks they're really grand.

02:19They all have these nippy shells.

02:22There's another thing that's super neat.

02:25Turtles have these webby flippy feet.

02:29Webby flippy feet.

02:31Webby flippy feet.

02:32Tiny tiny toes.

02:33Webby flippy feet.

02:34Webby flippy feet.

02:35Just look at those.

02:36Webby flippy feet.

02:37Webby flippy feet.

02:38They're perfect for swimming.

02:41Sea turtles have flippers.

02:44They swing fast.

02:45You should see them zippy.

02:47But turtles and tortoises have long nails.

02:50Oh, they look like scales.

02:53Best of all, they have webby flippy feet.

02:57Webby flippy feet.

02:59Webby flippy feet.

03:00Webby flippy feet.

03:01You're like that bunny dinosaur.

03:02Webby flippy feet.

03:03Webby flippy feet.

03:05It's for fear for sure.

03:06Webby flippy feet.

03:07Webby flippy feet.

03:09Elmo wants webby flippy feet.

03:12To say Elmo can slip slop with webby you.

03:16Elmo'd be a nippy turtle.

03:19Walking with you

03:21Webby flippy feet

03:22Webby flippy feet

03:23Walking with you

03:24Webby flippy feet

03:25Webby flippy feet

03:26Walking with you

03:27I never thought about myself like that before

03:33And I do have webby flippy feet

03:35And they're not only great for swimming

03:38But for also making nests in the sand

03:41Hey, I guess being a turtle isn't so bad after all

03:45Bad?

03:46Turtles are terrific

03:48Turtles have a shell

03:52It's much better than a backpack

03:53Backpack

03:54Inside they dwell

03:57That means they live in it

03:58So when they go somewhere

04:00You know they don't lack

04:01Lack

04:03Lack

04:04Yeah

04:05It's like an umbrella when it rains

04:08A safety helmet for the brains

04:11Wearing armor just like an old tiger knight

04:14Yeah

04:15It's like a hat to keep off sun

04:17A cozy bed when the day is done

04:19You can talk safely inside

04:21Until it's night

04:22And that's why I love those turtle shells

04:29Wow! Thanks, Rudy!

04:33You're welcome!

04:34Now I love my shell even more!

04:36Yeah, there's all kinds of things that turtles can do that people can't

04:40Yeah

04:40You know, sometimes I'm even a little jealous of turtles

04:43Really? Why?

04:45I like the lifestyle

04:49Lazy days

04:56Sleeping in the sun

04:59Swimming with your turtle friends

05:02And having lots of fun

05:04Perching on a log

05:06Enjoying gentle breezes

05:09Plopping in the water

05:11Plopping in the water

05:11Whenever you pleases

05:14Flowing on your bellies

05:17If you don't have a care

05:19Dive to the bottom

05:22Till you're half

05:23He's still going!

05:26To get some air

05:28As far as I can tell

05:31So being a turtle would be pretty swell

05:35Oh, yeah!

05:43Bravo!

05:44You make being a turtle sound like a really nice thing to be!

05:48Before today, I always wished I was something cool like a bird!

05:54Well, you know, birds and turtles have something in common

05:57You mean I can fly?

06:01I never knew it!

06:03Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not like that

06:05But it's still pretty cool

06:07Oh, what?

06:09Oh, well, let's tell them, Chica

06:11Turtles and birds lay eggs, oh yes

06:20You heard me, eggs, they both lay them in a nest

06:22A lot of turtles find some land

06:24Where there's a lot of sand

06:25That's near some water, that's the best

06:27On their egg, they don't sit

06:28They bury them and split

06:30And then, when the time is right

06:31The baby turtles hatch

06:33They're called a clutch, that a clutch

06:34When they run to the water

06:36It's a sight, it's a sound

06:37Sea turtles make nests

06:38By digging holes in the sand by the water

06:40They lay their eggs, then cover them up

06:43Later, the baby turtles hatch

06:44And they run to the water

06:46On their eggs, they don't sit

06:48They bury them and split

06:49And then, when the time is right

06:51The baby turtles hatch

06:52They're called a clutch, that a clutch

06:54When they run to the water

06:55It's a sight, it's a sound

06:56Wow, turtles lay eggs?

07:03I never knew there were so many things that make turtles special.

07:08So, does Morty feel better now?

07:11I sure do.

07:13Oh, yeah.

07:14You want to play a game with me and Elmo?

07:17You can pick.

07:18Oh, I know a really fun game.

07:21It's called Slow Tag.

07:24Okay, the first one to the community center is a raw egg.

07:34Okay, bye.

07:38Bye.

07:39Bye.

07:41I wonder what it is.

07:44Let's try.

07:47Oh, hi.

07:49Grover is doing an interview.

07:51Oh, that means he's talking to people on the street.

07:56Okay, hello there.

07:58Huh?

07:59I have so many questions for you today, so let us get started.

08:02You are a turtle, correct?

08:04Actually, I'm a tortoise.

08:07A tortoise?

08:07Mm-hmm.

08:09Okay, guess I will not be needing these questions.

08:11Actually, a tortoise is a kind of turtle.

08:16Okay, I guess I will be needing those questions.

08:19Oh, boy.

08:19Yes, well, we tortoises have shells, just like other turtles.

08:24Oh, yes, I can see that.

08:25Very nice shell.

08:26The main difference between tortoises and turtles is that we tortoises always stay on land.

08:32Mm-hmm.

08:32That is fascinating.

08:34Now, most turtles spend at least some time in water, but not tortoises.

08:40That's why our feet are different.

08:42Right, right.

08:43Okay, well, if you do not mind, I would like to ask you a question.

08:48Oh, and that music means it is time for the exciting letter of the day.

08:54Thank you, tortoise.

08:55Over to you, letter.

08:56Oh.
