00:00Hi guys! Oh, hi there! Welcome to Sesame Street!
00:15Hey, Elmo! How are you doing today?
00:17Hi, Alan. Oh, Elmo's very excited and happy.
00:20Oh, well, you don't seem excited or happy.
00:23Oh, oh, sorry, Alan. Oh, Elmo's just thinking very hard.
00:28You know, Elmo's friend Zuzu is coming to visit them.
00:31Oh, she's coming from very far away.
00:33Oh, that's great! So far away, like, from another street,
00:37far away, like, from another town.
00:39South Africa.
00:41The country, South Africa? Yeah.
00:44Well, that is very, very far away.
00:47Yeah, Elmo thought so.
00:49Elmo was thinking about how he would feel if Elmo was far away from home.
00:54Elmo might miss it a little bit.
00:57Oh, so you're thinking about how you could make Zuzu feel more at home when she gets to Sesame Street.
01:03Right. But, you know, Elmo doesn't know anything about Zuzu's home.
01:07Well, you know, Elmo, there is a place that can help you learn more about South Africa.
01:12It's not South Africa, is it?
01:14No.
01:15Because South Africa is very, very far away, right?
01:18No, this place is not far.
01:21Oh.
01:22I'm going there now. You want to come?
01:23Yeah, sure, okay.
01:24Let's go.
01:25Okay.
01:26Hello, I brought another box of books.
01:31Elmo, I never throw away books.
01:34Oh.
01:35When I finish reading them, I bring them here, because there's always somebody else who'd enjoy reading them.
01:39Oh, boy, that's very kind of you, Alan.
01:43No.
01:44Good morning, Alan.
01:46Hello, Frankie.
01:47Hi, Frankie.
01:48Oh, hi, Elmo.
01:49Welcome to Frankie's Book Nook.
01:52Elmo is here to learn about South Africa.
01:55That's right.
01:56Elmo wants to get some ideas for things to do with his friend Zuzu so she won't miss home.
02:01Well, this place is loaded with ideas.
02:04Oh, oh, oh.
02:05Where are the ideas?
02:06Where?
02:07Are they under the table?
02:08Oh, Elmo, you're surrounded by them.
02:11Books are filled with great ideas.
02:14Oh, that's so cool.
02:16Oh, Elmo thought that books were only full of made-up stories.
02:21Oh.
02:22Well, some books are story books, but there are also picture books, books about real people, and information books.
02:29Oh, you know what?
02:31It's time for me to go open up Hooper's store.
02:33So, Elmo, Frankie will help you out.
02:35She loves books.
02:37She's a real bookworm.
02:38Alan, you're such a card.
02:40See you guys later.
02:42Bye.
02:43Bye.
02:44All right, Elmo.
02:45I know I have a book about South Africa here somewhere.
02:48Elmo, Zuzu's coming today, right?
02:51Yeah.
02:52Oh, isn't this exciting?
02:54It sure is, Abby.
02:56Elmo and Frankie are looking for a book about South Africa for her.
03:00Ooh, well, what time is she coming?
03:02Lunchtime.
03:03Lunchtime?
03:04That's soon.
03:05Let's get wiggling.
03:06I'll help.
03:07Can I help?
03:08You've got the job.
03:09Now let's hurry.
03:10Oh, here's a book of cars and one about maze puzzles.
03:18No.
03:19Keep looking.
03:21Wow.
03:22Heaven.
03:23There's one with a big white whale on it.
03:27Huh.
03:28Looks like no one's ever read it.
03:29Keep looking.
03:31Whoa.
03:32Whoa.
03:33This book has all kinds of interesting food on it.
03:38Yeah.
03:39That's a cookbook of recipes from around the world.
03:44Keep looking.
03:45Oh, wait a minute, Frankie.
03:46Does that book have recipes from South Africa?
03:49Oh, maybe we can make Zuzu the kind of food she eats at home.
03:54That's a great idea, Elmo.
03:56Thank you, Abby.
03:57Now let's see.
03:58Zuzu's favorite food is, um, oh, oh, oh.
04:01Pop and tomato gravy.
04:03Let's see.
04:04Bingo, it's here.
04:09Oh, cool.
04:10Hey, maybe Alan can make it for him.
04:13Oh, boy.
04:14Well, I'll take the cookbook to him.
04:17Mm-hmm.
04:18And you keep looking for more ideas.
04:20Okay, Abby.
04:22Now let's see here.
04:24Alan!
04:25Alan!
04:26Abby!
04:27Yes?
04:28Alan!
04:29What?
04:30Can you make this recipe here for our friend Zuzu?
04:35All right, let's see.
04:36It says, pap.
04:37Pop.
04:38Pop.
04:39Pop.
04:40And tomato gravy.
04:41Yeah, it's a South African food.
04:43All right, you know, I've never made it before, but, uh, we have all the ingredients.
04:48So, yes, I can make it.
04:49Oh, please.
04:50We just have to follow the recipe.
04:51Cookbooks are so magical.
04:54Mm-hmm.
04:55I just know there's a book about South Africa here somewhere.
05:00Uh, Frankie!
05:01Elmo found pictures of clothes that look very different.
05:05That's it!
05:06Elmo!
05:07You found the book!
05:09Ho-ho-ho!
05:10Hmm, let's see.
05:12Dashiki.
05:13Worn in parts of Africa, including South Africa.
05:17Ah, so some people in South Africa wear dashikis.
05:21Oh, and look!
05:22Musicians!
05:23Oh, that gives Elmo an idea.
05:26What if Elmo, Abby, and Frankie throw a party to make Zuzu feel at home when she gets
05:32to Sesame Street?
05:33Yes!
05:34With South African food and South African music!
05:37Hey!
05:38There's some music of penguins that play down the street.
05:41Boy, Elmo wonders if the penguins could play South African music.
05:45Oh, they might.
05:46Look, it says here black-footed penguins live in South Africa.
05:50Elmo will ask them about their feet.
05:51Be right back!
05:52Oh, musical penguins!
05:53Hello!
05:54Oh, hi, guys!
05:55Oh, Elmo has three questions for you!
05:56Hmm?
05:57What?
05:58One, do you play different kinds of music?
05:59Sure!
06:00Uh, jazz, R&B, country, whatever!
06:01Oh, cool!
06:02Oh, cool!
06:03Oh, question number two!
06:04Do the music of penguins know South African music?
06:06Oh!

07:00Oh!
07:01It smells so yummy!
07:02It does!
07:03All right, you know what?
07:04We'd better get over to the community center
07:06before Zuzu gets here, okay?
07:07This music is great Elmo, and you are looking good.
07:14Thank you, Alan.
07:15Oh, Elmo's wearing a dashiki.
07:17Oh, some people in South Africa wear that.
07:20Yeah.
07:21Oh, it's Zuzu.
07:23Hi, Zuzu.
07:24Elmo.
07:25Zuzu.
07:26Hi.
07:27Welcome to Sesame Street.
07:31Abonga.
07:32Zuzu, Elmo wants you to meet Elmo's friends, Frankie,
07:36Alan, and Audie.
07:38Hello.
07:39Oh, Elmo.
07:41I was just thinking I'm missing home.
07:43Yeah.
07:44And then I saw all of this, and I heard the music.
07:48Uh-huh.
07:49Oh, Elmo.
07:50I smell that food.
07:52Huh?
07:53I didn't know you make pop and tomato gravy here.
07:56It is my favorite.
07:57Ah.
07:58Well, Elmo got the idea from this cookbook.
08:01Oh, wow.
08:02Yeah, that's right.
08:03And you know, Zuzu.
08:04Yeah.
08:05Elmo got the idea for the clothes.
08:06Oh, and for the music in another book.
08:09Oh, wow.
08:10And Elmo got music of penguins.
08:13Mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm, mm.
08:17Wait.
08:18How do penguins know South African music?
08:20Well, Alan, black-footed penguins live in South Africa.
08:25Yeah, boo.
08:26Elmo found that in the book, too.
08:28Yeah.
08:29What?
08:30Elmo.
08:31Yeah?
08:32How could you know this would make me feel so happy?
08:34Yeah.
08:35You know, Zuzu, Elmo thought about how he would feel if he was far away from home.
08:40Mm-hmm.
08:41Boy, Elmo thought he might miss home a little bit.
08:43Ah, you are right, Elmo.
08:46Uh-huh.
08:47I was missing home a little.
08:48Yeah.
08:49But this, this is perfect.
08:50Ha, ha, ha.
08:51You know, I wanted ideas for things to see and do here.
08:54So I also looked at a book.
08:57Really?
08:58Mm-hmm.
08:59Ha, ha, ha.
09:00I want to eat, I want to eat American pizza.
09:02Uh-huh.
09:03And I want to go to a baseball game.
09:04Ha, ha, ha.
09:05I want, I want to ride at the elevator to the tallest building.
09:10Ha, ha.
09:11And eat a hamburger, too.
09:12Yeah.
09:13Well, that's easy.
09:14We do that stuff all the time.
09:17Well, until today, I only saw them in a book.
09:21Ha, ha, ha.
09:22Yeah.
09:23Oh, come on everybody, there's music playing.
