Prince Telly

Elmo was younger and smaller than all of his फ्रेंड्स on Sesame Street.
It was hard for him to keep up with them.


Elmo could not run as fast as the others.

He could not jump as far as the others.

He could not play baseball at all.
The bat was bigger than Elmo!


One sunny दिन Ernie and Bert and Big Bird and Grover went roller skating in the park.
Elmo went too.
Suddenly a घंटी, बेल rang.
It was the ice cream truck.
Everyone skated off to get some ice cream.
“Hey!” Elmo cried. “Wait for me!”


Grover skated back to Elmo.
“I, Grover, will help you. Hold on to my hand,” he said.
And off they went.

Clickety-clack,...

Big Bird was looking for someone to play with.
“Here comes Bert,” कहा Big Bird. “I bet he will play catch with me.”


“Hi, Bert!” कहा Big Bird. “Let’s play catch.”

Bert kept on walking.
“Not today,” कहा Bert. “Ernie is waiting for me.”
Big Bird looked surprised.
“Oh,” he said.


Just then Grover ran out of his house.
He had a shiny new truck.
“Hi, Grover!” कहा Big Bird. “That’s a nice truck. Let’s play with it.”
Grover kept on running.
“I am sorry, Big Bird, but I am giving it to Ernie,” कहा Grover.
Big Bird looked sad.
“Oh,” he said.


Then Big Bird saw Cookie...

Grover was so happy.
He was going to spend two weeks with his cousins Rosie and Frank.
He kissed his mother good-bye.
Then he got into Uncle Jed’s car.


Uncle Jed drove out of the city and into the country.
Soon Uncle Jed said, “Here we are!”
Everyone was happy to see Grover.

Aunt Edna made a picnic lunch to welcome Grover.
After lunch Rosie said, “Let’s go bike riding, Grover!”
She ran to get her bike.
“But, Rosie,” कहा Grover, “I do not have a bike.”


“We have an extra bike,” कहा Rosie happily.
“Frank got a big new bike for his birthday. आप can ride his little old one.”
Grover...

Big Bird liked to play with his friends.
But playing with them was hard for Big Bird because…


their jump ropes were too short…

their hopscotch boxes were too small…


their hide-and-seek hiding places were too little…

their see-saws came down but never went up.


One दिन Big Bird came घर from the park द्वारा himself.
“I am too big to play with my friends,” he sobbed.

He was so busy crying he did not see his friend, Snuffle-upagus.


“Don’t cry, Bird,” कहा Snuffle-upagus. “You are not too big. Their games are too little.”

Big Bird jumped up.
He stopped crying.
“Do आप really think so, Mr....

One hot summer दिन Ernie had a cool idea.
“Hey, Bert,” he said. “Let’s sell lemonade.”


“Good idea, Ernie,” कहा Bert. “You go buy the lemons. Then we will make the नींबु पानी, नींबू पानी together.”
“Right, Bert,” कहा Ernie. “I will get the lemons.”
And he ran off to the store.


On the way Ernie saw Big Bird and Grover.
“Hi,” कहा Ernie. “I am going to have a नींबु पानी, नींबू पानी stand. Be sure to come.”
“Oh, we will,” कहा Big Bird. “All these feathers can make a bird pretty hot.”


At Mr. McIntosh’s store Ernie saw big piles of lemons.
He saw big piles of oranges too.
The oranges looked...
