Elmo was younger and smaller than all of his friends 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 hari Ernie and Bert and Big Bird and Grover went roller skating in the park.
Elmo went too.
Suddenly a bel, bell rang.
It was the ice cream truck.
Everyone skated off to get some ice cream.

Grover skated back to Elmo.

Grover’s mother gave him a big ciuman good-bye.


The school bus took everyone to blue bird, gadung Park.
Grover sat in the back with Truman.
“My big brother has a bat just like yours. I play ball with him all the time,” berkata Truman.

Herry Monster liked to skip.
One hari he skipped down Sesame Street…
and right into the mailman.
Letters went flying.

“Look!” berkata Herry. “A letter for ME!”
Herry dropped his bag and read the letter.

The letter said: “Come to a teh party. Bring your favorit doll.”
It was from Ernie and Bert.


Herry skipped down the block.
“I cinta parties!” he sang.
He skipped to Betty Lou’s house.
She had a letter too.

“Are anda going to the party?” he asked her.
“Oh, yes,” she said. “And so is my beautiful doll.”...
