00:00Yeah?
00:00That was your wife's puppy, too.
00:01Oh, puppies.
00:03Oh, hi.
00:05Welcome to Sesame Street.
00:06Yeah.
00:07Today is the day that Chris makes the new signs for the stool.
00:10Yeah.
00:11Oh.
00:11Oh.
00:12OK.
00:13E. G. G. S. Eggs.
00:16Oh.
00:17Aw, you write the nicest letters, Chris.
00:20Oh, thanks, Abby.
00:21Whoa, it's me.
00:23Whoa, it's me.
00:24Me?
00:25Whoa.
00:26Oh.
00:27Whoa.
00:28I saw your crown.
00:30Who is that?
00:31Look at this.
00:32I don't know, but he lost his crown.
00:34So?
00:35So?
00:36Banana, banana, banana.
00:38When I'm unhappy, I like a banana.
00:40My kingdom for a banana.
00:43Oh, sorry.
00:44We're out.
00:45Oh, what else could go wrong?
00:48Uh, your crown fell off.
00:51My crown fell off?
00:53I'll never find it.
00:54Never, never, never.
00:55Uh, here it is.
00:56Oh, could one of you hold it sideways, please?
00:59Oh, yes.
01:00Abby, here, let me help you with that.
01:01Here you go.
01:02Oh, ho, ho.
01:03Thank you all.
01:05And you are?
01:06Oh, Elmo's Elmo.
01:08I'm Abby.
01:09That's Chris.
01:11And I am Prince Billy.
01:14Oh, yes.
01:15How do you do, sir?
01:16How do you do?
01:17Well, you should write your name on your crown, in case you lose it again.
01:21Yeah.
01:22Oh, yeah.
01:23Hey, and you can borrow my marker to do it.
01:25Oh, I would.
01:26But I don't know how to write my name.
01:29Oh.
01:30Oh.
01:31Is that why you're so unhappy?
01:32Yes.
01:33Oh.
01:34And there's more.
01:35My unhappiness began when I met a fortune teller.
01:39You will find a sweet princess who's under a sleeping spell.
01:43Her name is Snoozing Beauty.
01:48You'll break the spell, wake her up, and live happily ever after.
01:53So I searched everywhere for the sleeping princess until today, when I found her on Sesame Street.
02:02So you should be living happily ever after.
02:05Yeah.
02:06Why are you so unhappy?
02:08I'll show you.
02:15There she snoozes.
02:17What's all this stuff?
02:19Oh.
02:20I tried all these things to make loud sounds to wake her up, but nothing's worked.
02:25That's why I'm so unhappy.
02:28Okay there, Sully, look at this.
02:31This looks like the perfect place to jackhammer, doesn't it?
02:34Oh, wait a minute, Sully, what are you thinking?
02:36This is a terrible place to jackhammer.
02:38See the sleeping lady over there?
02:39Uh-huh.
02:40I have not tried a jackhammer.
02:42Yeah.
02:43Yeah, Prince Betty wants the princess to wake up, so Biff and Sully should definitely use their jackhammer.
02:49Oh, what are you waiting for, Sully?
02:50Come on, jackhammer!
02:52Oh, it's no good.
02:59We've tried everything and nothing's worked.
03:03I will never be able to break that snooze.
03:07I have decided to give up!
03:10What?
03:11Oh, don't give up!
03:12Too late!
03:13I already did.
03:14Oh boy.
03:15Come here.
03:16Come here.
03:17If we don't help the prince, then he's gonna live unhappily ever after.
03:23Wait a minute.
03:24The princess is under a magic spell, right?
03:27Yeah.
03:28Abby's wand is magic, so, you know.
03:33Aha!
03:34That's right!
03:35Maybe my magic wand can help break the sleeping spell.
03:39Yes, it is!
03:40Okay.
03:41Wanda, Wanda, can you tell how to break the magic spell?
03:46Zippity!
03:47Yes!
03:48To break the magic spell and wake up the princess, the prince must write his name on the magic tablet.
03:55No!
03:56No, I can't do it!
03:58Don't give up, prince!
04:00Yeah, Elmo and Abby will teach Prince Billy.
04:03Oh, come on.
04:04Let's go to the K enemy zone.
04:05Yeah, that's good.
04:06Oh, Elmo practices writing on a board like this one.
04:11That's how Elmo learned to write his name.
04:13All right, here goes Billy.
04:17B, I, L, L, Y.
04:34There!
04:35I did it!
04:36I got all the way through without giving up!
04:38I am good!
04:40Yes!
04:41Yes!
04:42Billy!
04:43Uh, yeah, well, you see that letter?
04:46Uh, you made a D instead of a B.
04:50Yeah.
04:51Yeah.
04:52No!
04:53I give up!
04:54No, no, no!
04:55Hey, hey, Prince, it's okay to make mistakes.
04:57Let's just try again.
04:59Um, oh, okay.
05:01I know.
05:02Another way to practice is with a block.
05:05See this?
05:06This is the letter B.
05:08B.
05:09You can trace it with your finger for practice.
05:11Yeah.
05:12Okay?
05:13Here.
05:14Here you go.
05:15Go for it.
05:16Hmm.
05:17One line down and two bumps.
05:21One, two.
05:22The D I made only has one bump.
05:27That's right.
05:28One bump.
05:29One.
05:30He has two bumps.
05:34I've got this!
05:35This is gonna work.
05:36He's got it.
05:37He's got it.
05:38He's got it.
05:39He's got it.
05:40Um.
05:41Um.

05:55Oh!
05:56Oopsie!
05:57I made the same mistake again!
05:58Oh, well!
05:59I guess I'll have to just live happily ever after without being happy…
06:06Oh, wait no I can't.
06:07Yes, you can!
06:08Just take a deep breath, that's all.
06:10Let me see.
06:11Oh.
06:12You know what?
06:13Here's how I learn to write letters!
06:16Okay!
06:17Let's go Wanda!
06:18The prince will learn to write just fine!
06:21if he practices with a dotted line.
06:25Zippity zap!
06:29Follow the dotted line.
06:32Okay, the bee is one line down.
06:36Yep, that's good.
06:37And then two bumps.
06:40One.
06:42Beautiful.
06:43Two.
06:46That's right.
06:47I did it right.
06:48I want to do it again.
06:52Okay.
06:53Bee is one line down.
06:59One bump.
07:01Two bumps.
07:04Yes!
07:04Now I can wake up snoozing beauty at last.
07:07Yay!
07:08Yay!
07:13All right, I can do this.
07:18Yes, you can.
07:19All right.
07:20One line down and two bumps.
07:24One.
07:25Two.
07:27Phew!
07:28I-L-L-Y.
07:33Billy!
07:34I did it all by myself!
07:36You did it!
07:37Prince Billy, is that you?
07:40You?
07:40The princess!
07:41Yes!
07:42Uh-huh!
07:42I-I-I was so happy about writing my name, I almost forgot about snoozing beauty.
07:48Ha-ha-ha-ha!
07:51Hello.
07:52Hello, Prince Billy.
07:55Want to go live happily ever after and stuff?
07:59Um...
08:00Sure, why not?
08:05Oh, we are so proud of you, Prince!
08:08Yeah, you practiced and practiced and you did it!
08:11I'm so glad I didn't give up.
08:14Thank you, Abby and Elmo, for helping me learn to write my name.
08:19Oh, uh, can we stop for lunch?
08:21I feel like I haven't eaten in a month.
08:24Ta-ta!
08:25Very well!
08:26Very well!
08:29Boy, why do people go to live happily ever after?
08:32Well, if it were up to me, Elmo, they'd come right here.
08:36Ha-ha-ha-ha!
