00:00Oh, hi! Welcome to Sesame Street!
00:05Oh, Elmo was just looking at all of Elmo's friends on Sesame Street.
00:09Friends like Snuffy and Big Bird.
00:13Oh, and Ernie and Bert.
00:16Oh, and Ellen and Tamir's mommy.
00:20You know, they're a lot alike, and they're all different.
00:24Touch your nose.
00:26Oh, Elmo hears some friends right now.
00:29Touch your toes.
00:32Oh, well.
00:34Uh, uh, turn around.
00:38Um, hey. Hi, everybody.
00:41Hi, Elmo.
00:42What are you doing?
00:43Well, we're trying to play Simon Says, but they're not even doing anything.
00:49Oh, that's because you keep forgetting to say Simon Says, Rudy.
00:54Yeah, we can't do anything if you don't say Simon Says.
00:57It's in the rule book.
00:59It's actually the only rule in the whole book.
01:02Oh, I didn't know that.
01:06That's a big book, and I'm only three.
01:09Hold on!
01:11Good afternoon and welcome!
01:13It's a I, your adorable reporter on the street, Grover, with today's question.
01:17Can they be friends?
01:19Grover, that microphone's not plugged in.
01:21Big to differ. I can hear myself perfectly.
01:23Here we see Tamir, Abby, Rudy, and Elmo.
01:27But I would like to know.
01:29Tamir, what grade are you in?
01:31Oh, uh, second grade.
01:33Second grade!
01:35Well, the cute but extremely observant eyes of this reporter tell me that the rest of you are in preschool.
01:41Is that correct?
01:42Yeah!
01:43And there you have it.
01:45They are in different grades, which means they are completely different ages.
01:49Can they be friends?
01:52Of course we can.
01:53Of course they cannot!
01:54Wait, you can?
01:56Sure, Grover.
01:58Even though we're all different ages, we can still be friends.
02:02Yeah, we still like doing lots of different things together.
02:05Like making art.
02:07Oh, and gardening.
02:09Oh, and dancing.
02:11Oh, yeah, and singing.
02:14Let's show them!
02:16Oh, Simon says, let's show them!
02:22Our bedtime is early.
02:24But not as usually late.
02:26I stay up till 8.30.
02:288.30 at night.
02:30Whoa!
02:31But no matter whether you're in preschool or in second grade or if we like different games or different books or what time your day ends.
02:37We're still friends.
02:39We're still friends.
02:41You are you.
02:43I am me.
02:45Sometimes we're different as can be.
02:49We're still friends as anyone can see.
02:53You and me.
02:55You and me.
02:57I agree!
02:59Simon says, cheer!
03:01Yay!
03:04Okay, Simon says, rub your little bellies.
03:08Oh, rub my belly.
03:10In the air.
03:11Okay, Simon says, wave your hands up in the air.
03:17Yay!
03:19It's a beautiful day for baseball here at Henry Park.
03:23And here comes the pitch.
03:26And it's a hit!
03:27Catch it! Catch it!
03:28Don't! Don't! Don't!
03:29And it's over the fence!
03:32Home run! Home run!
03:35Hold on!
03:37Here we see Gordon and Nina.
03:39Wave hello to the people at home, please.
03:41You know there's no camera there.
03:43I beg to differ.
03:44They are listening to the same baseball game,
03:47but they are cheering for completely different baseball teams.
03:51Is that correct?
03:52Right.
03:53Therefore, the question your reporter has is,
03:55can they be friends?
03:58Well, of course we can.
03:59Of course they cannot.
04:00Wait, you can?
04:01Yes, claro.
04:03Even though Gordon and I cheer for different teams,
04:05we're still friends.
04:06After all, we both like baseball.
04:08And funny movies.
04:09Right, and jokes.
04:10And singing.
04:11Yes.
04:13I like the ostriches.
04:15They're simply the best.
04:17Oh, come on now.
04:18You know the swallows beat all the rest.
04:21But no matter who we cheer for,
04:25you know I'm always here for you.
04:30You are you.
04:32I am me.
04:34Sometimes we're different, as can be.
04:38We're still friends, as anyone can see.
04:42You and me.
04:44You and me.
04:46You and me.
04:48You and me.
04:50You and me.
04:52You and me.
04:56My, you like different baseball teams and really are friends.
05:00It's a high-five.
05:02Now this is exciting.
05:04Don't catch it.
05:05Don't catch it.
05:07Oh, my God.
05:09Oh, my gosh.
05:10A volcano.
05:12Where?
05:18Hey, Joe.
05:19Told you my skateboard was fast.
05:22Volcano.
05:24Hold on.
05:26Whether you are watching this right now or not at all,
05:28because I have indeed forgotten to plug in my microphone and bring a camera,
05:31observe.
05:33Rosita and G. Young,
05:35one rides a scooter, the other a skateboard.
05:40Can they be friends?
05:43You sure?
05:44Of course we're friends.
05:46Yeah, we like riding different things and we're still friends, Groza.
05:51Yeah, after all, we both like riding.
05:53Oh, and playing the guitar.
05:56And singing.
05:58Hit it.
05:59G. Young has a skateboard.
06:02You get around.
06:04Rosita rides a scooter around the town.
06:08But no matter what we ride,
06:12we ride together, side by side.
06:16We do some things in different ways.
06:20We have different words for numbers and days.
06:24In Spanish, we say hola to say hello.
06:29In Korean, it's annyeonghaseyo.
06:33I play like this.
06:37I play like this.
06:41Together we go.
06:50You are you.
06:52I am me.
06:54Sometimes we're different as can be.
06:58We're still friends as anyone can see.
07:02You and me.
07:04You and me.
07:06Friends can be different ages.
07:10Friends can work for different teams.
07:14Friends can like different things from one another.
07:18A friend can even be your little brother.
07:23You are you.
07:25I am me.
07:27Sometimes we're different as can be.
07:31We're still friends as anyone can see.
07:35You and me.
07:37You and me.
07:39You and me.
07:41You and me.
07:45Well, there you have it.
07:47People and monsters and fairies who are all different.
07:50Can they be friends?
07:52Yes.
07:53That is right.
07:54Everyone can.
07:56Hey, will you keep it down out here?
07:59Sheesh.
08:02Well, almost everyone.
08:05Celebrating me.
08:06Celebrating you.
08:08Celebrating us.
08:11Hi, looks like Dorian and Gabrielle are making drawings.
08:16I drew the things that I like.
08:18A puppy, because I want to get one someday.
08:20Roller skates, because skating is something I love to do.
08:23And a dragon, because I love stories with dragons in them.
08:26Nice.
08:27I drew things I like too.
08:29I drew my parakeet buddy, because I like birds.
08:32I drew these skis, because I'm learning to ski.
08:34And I drew this laughing face, because I like funny stories and jokes.
08:38We both like stories and pets and sports.
08:41We just like different kinds.
08:43And we like drawing.
08:44Want my drawing?

13:02Hello, Cookie Monster and Gonger.
13:03My name is Cam, and I need your help.
13:06I want to share one of my favorite Vietnamese foods, spring rolls, with my friends.
13:11Can you help me, please?
13:12Of course we can help you, because we are...
13:16Monster Foodies!
13:19It's going to be easy today, Chef Gonger.
13:21We already have spring rolls.
13:24No, no, no, Cookie Monster.
13:25No, no, you're not disturbing.
13:27No, not that kind of spring roll.
13:29These spring rolls are healthy and delicious veggies rolled up in a wrapper made of rice.
13:34Just take a look at the recipe.
13:36For spring rolls, we need vermicelli rice noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber, red cabbage,
13:43mung bean sprouts, rice paper, and a sauce for dipping.
13:48Oh, okay.
13:49Well, we have everything over here.
13:52Look at this.
13:53Oh, Cookie.
13:54Yeah.
13:55Oh, Cookie.
13:57Where's the mung bean sprouts?
13:59Um...
14:02You ate them.
14:03Yeah, me ate them.
14:04Mung bean sprouts delicious.
14:06Oh, you know what?
14:08I can't even be mad at that.
14:09They are delicious.
14:10Yeah, yeah, yeah.
14:11Look, we can get some more mung bean sprouts from the farm.
14:13Oh, let's go.
14:14Come on.
14:15Grabbing the tablet.
14:16To the mung bean sprout farm.
14:26Mung bean sprout farm.
14:27Mung bean sprout farm.
14:28Welcome to the mung bean sprout farm.
14:30Hey.
14:31Boy, oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy.
14:33Here we are at the mung bean sprout farm.
14:37Hello, Farmer Masaharu.
14:38We need mung bean sprouts to make spring rolls.
14:41Can you help us, please?
14:42Hello, Cookie Monster and Gonger.
14:44Welcome to our mung bean sprout farm.
14:47Sure, I can help you.
14:49Mung bean sprouts are grown from these little green beans called mung beans.
14:54First, the mung beans need to be rinsed a couple of times with water.
14:58Then they are drained and put in a sprouting container.
15:01The containers are brought to a dark room where the bean sprouts can grow.
15:05After a few days, the sprouts are ready to be harvested.
15:08They are rinsed to separate the bean shell from the sprouts.
15:11They are then dried before being packaged up to be sold at stores or farmer's markets.
15:17Sprouts can be used in many dishes such as delicious and healthy salads and stir fries.
15:23Here are mung bean sprouts to make spring rolls.
15:27Cookie and Gonger.
15:28Thank you, Farmer Masaharu.
15:30Bean sprouts, bean sprouts.
15:32We're never home with bean sprouts.
15:34Okay, Chef Gonger.
15:36Me got the mung bean sprouts.
15:39Now me wonder how we make spring rolls.
15:42Well, what if we check the recipe?
15:45Let's try.
15:46Okay. First, we need to boil the farm Italian rice noodles.
15:49Rice noodles in.
15:52Rice noodles out.
15:53Great. Now, let's julienne a cabbage, a cucumber, and two carrots.
15:59Excuse me. Who julienne?
16:01Not julienne. Julienne.
16:04It means you cut them into little slices.
16:07Here, let me show you.
16:10Done.
16:11Okay, we got the lettuce.
16:14And now the mung bean sprouts.
16:17Look at how colorful it is.
16:19Now, soak the rice paper.
16:22Lay the rice paper in the water for five seconds.
16:25Soaky, soaky, soaky.
16:27Okay, here we go.
16:29They're looking good.
16:30Okay, Cookie. Fill the water.
16:32We got one leaf of lettuce.
16:34Little carrots.
16:36Cucumbers.
16:38Some red cabbage.
16:39The mung bean sprouts.
16:41And a little itty-bitty pile of noodles.
16:46Rolly, rolly. Ta-da.
16:49And the spring rolls, done.
16:52And don't forget the dipping sauce.
16:57That looks delicious, Cookie.
16:59So yummy.
17:01Order up the long spring rolls.
17:05Peace out, mung bean sprout.
17:07Oh, Cookie Monster.
17:09Yeah?
17:10I got this nice for you.
17:14Oh, boy.
17:21Thank you so much, Cookie Monster and Gonger,
17:23for my favorite Vietnamese food, spring rolls.
17:26I'm so excited to share them with my friends.
17:29It's delicious.
17:31You're welcome, Ken.
17:36Yeah.
17:37Yay.
17:38Happy, happy monsters to the rescue.
17:40We make yummy food just for you.

17:49It's time for the number of the day.
