01:01Oh, hi.
01:04Hi, everybody.
01:05Hey, Lucas.
01:06Hi.
01:07Hi, Eli.
01:08Hi, Mr. Andre.
01:11Hey, Elmo.
01:12Huh?
01:12What, what, what?
01:13Oh, look, look who's here.
01:15Oh, hi.
01:17Welcome to Sesame Street.
01:19We're looking at bugs.
01:20Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:21Oh, Elmo has his magnifying glass.
01:24Yeah, isn't that cool?
01:25Isn't that cool?
01:25And I've got this great book.
01:27Fascinating Facts About Insects.
01:30Let's go and see if we can find some insects.
01:32Insects.
01:33Yes.
01:33Insects.
01:35Oh, Charlie, look.
01:37What?
01:38Ants.
01:39Ants?
01:39Yeah.
01:40Are insects.
01:41Yeah.
01:41Oh, there's one, two little ants playing together.
01:46It says here, oh, wow.
01:48What?
01:48Ants never sleep.
01:51Wow.
01:51Wow.
01:53And they don't even look tired.
01:55Fascinating.
01:55Fascinating.
01:57Oh, look, more bugs, Charlie.
01:58More bugs.
01:59Oh, look at that.
02:00What are they?
02:00What, what, what?
02:01What are they?
02:03Those are ladybugs.
02:05One, two ladybugs playing together.
02:08Wow.
02:09Yeah.
02:10Here's a fascinating fact about ladybugs.
02:12OK, Charlie.
02:13They smell with their feet.
02:16Fascinating.
02:17Fascinating.
02:19Oh, oh, oh.
02:20Elmo sees another bug.
02:21Whoa.
02:22Oh.
02:23Hey, Charlie, look, look.
02:24There's a butterfly.
02:26Wow.
02:26He's beautiful.
02:28Yeah.
02:28But where's butterfly's friend?
02:30Elmo and Charlie saw two little ants and two little ladybugs.
02:36But there's only one butterfly, and it's alone.
02:41You're right.
02:43Let's look for another butterfly.
02:45OK.
02:45Ha, ha.
02:47Yoo-hoo.
02:48Yoo-hoo.
02:49Other butterfly.
02:50Where are you?
02:51Hello, butterflies.
02:53Calling all butterflies.
02:55Butterflies, where are you?
02:57Hmm.
02:58Oh, great.
02:59Charlie, Elmo doesn't think any other butterflies are around.
03:03Yeah, I don't think so either.
03:04That little guy has no butterfly friend to play with.
03:08Elmo can be a butterfly.
03:09What's that now?
03:10Elmo, Elmo will pretend to be a butterfly, Charlie.
03:13Then the little butterfly will have a friend to play with.
03:16Great idea.
03:18OK, OK.
03:19Um, let's see.
03:20Flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter.
03:22Flutter, flutter, flutter, flutter.
03:23Elmo's a butterfly.
03:24Yep.
03:25Flutter, flutter, flutter.
03:26Can't play with Elmo.
03:27Oh, oh, it's not working.
03:29The butterfly's not coming over to play.
03:32I don't think he gets that you're a butterfly, Elmo.
03:35Well, why not, Charlie?
03:36I'm checking the book here.
03:38Ah, here's something fascinating.
03:40Before a butterfly can become a butterfly,
03:43it has to go through a metamorphosis.
03:46A what?
03:47Metamorphosis is a big change.
03:50It says here there are four very different stages
03:54in the life of a butterfly.
03:56What does that have to do with Elmo?
03:58Well, maybe if you pretend to go through those four stages,
04:02the butterfly will think that you're a butterfly
04:04and want to be your friend.
04:06Hey, that's a great idea, Telly.
04:07Oh, what's the first stage, huh, huh?
04:09First, a butterfly starts as a butterfly egg, like this.
04:14Got it.
04:15Elmo will be right back.
04:17Ta-da!
04:18Nice egg costume, Elmo.
04:21Well, thank you, Telly.
04:22But Elmo's not Elmo anymore.
04:24Elmo's butterfly egg Elmo.
04:26Oh, right, right, right.
04:28And look, butterfly egg Elmo, it's working.
04:32The butterfly is looking right at you.
04:34Oh, not anymore.
04:36Oh, quick, Telly.
04:37What's the second stage?
04:40You need to pretend to be a caterpillar.
04:44A butterfly starts as an egg.
04:46And when the egg hatches, a caterpillar comes out.
04:50Elmo will be right back.
04:55Elmo's a caterpillar.
04:57And look, look, it's working.
04:59The butterfly is flying right to you.
05:01Is he ready to be your friend?
05:04Oh, no, not yet.
05:06What's the third stage, Telly?
05:09See, after the egg hatches into a caterpillar,
05:12it grows and sheds its skin.
05:14And when it does it for the last time,
05:17it forms a chrysalis.
05:19Oh, it looks like a tiny sleeping bag.
05:22OK, Telly, be right back.
05:28Elmo's a chrysalis.
05:30Hey, look, it's working.
05:32It's working.
05:33The butterfly, it's flying all around you.
05:35Oh, yeah, yeah.
05:36Uh-oh, but the butterfly isn't ready to be Elmo's friend yet.
05:41That's because you need to go through the fourth stage.
05:44Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar
05:47turns into a butterfly.
05:49Elmo thought that would come next.
05:51It's you.
05:58Whoa.
05:59Ta-da.
06:00Elmo is Elmo Butterfly.
06:03You really do look like a butterfly.
06:05Thank you, Telly.
06:07And look, look, it's working.
06:09The butterfly wants to be your friend.
06:12Hello, butterfly.
06:14Elmo, you did it.
06:15The butterfly's not lonely anymore.
06:17He's got a new friend.
06:20And Elmo's got a new friend, too.
06:23Come on, little butterfly.
06:24Let's be butterflies together.
06:26Oh, you two, flap, flutter, and fly with us.
06:31Let's flap our wings and fly together, little butterfly
06:37friend.
06:40Flutter through the sky together, little butterfly
06:46friend.
06:48We can fly from here to there.
06:53We can fly from here to there.
06:58We can stop and smell a rose.
07:03We can flutter up and down.
07:09You can land on Elmo's nose.
07:14Oh, hello.
07:16Let's flap our wings and fly.
07:20Yeah.
07:23Little, oh, butterfly friend.
07:33Little, butterfly friend.
07:44You're Elmo's friend.
07:47Oh, great fluttering, little butterfly.
07:50Oh, and you, too.
07:52I think your little butterfly friend is all fluttered out,
07:55Elmo.
07:56Yeah, Elmo, too.
07:57Come on.
07:58Chris, Chris.
08:00Hey, guys.
08:01Hey, Chris.
08:02Hi, Chris.
08:03Hey, Telly.
08:04Hi.
08:05Elmo?
08:06No, butterfly Elmo.
08:07You noticed.
08:08This is Elmo's butterfly friend.
08:10Say hello to Chris, butterfly.
08:12Hello.
08:13Hey, hey.
08:14Did he just land on my head?
08:16Yep.
08:17Oh, OK.
08:18Oh, OK.
08:19What can I do for you guys?
08:22Butterfly Elmo wants to draw a picture of his butterfly friend.
08:25I have just the thing.
08:26I have some paper and some crayons.
08:29Oh, good, good.
08:30Thanks, Chris.
08:31No problem.
08:32Oh, come on, Telly.
08:33Let's go.
08:34Oh, you, too, butterfly friend.
08:36Hey, Elmo.
08:37The book says that's a monarch butterfly.
08:40Wow, a monarch?
08:42That's what you call a butterfly with orange wings,
08:45with black lines, and white spots.
08:48Cool.
08:49Elmo's best friends with a monarch butterfly.
08:54Oh.
08:55Oh, look, look, look.
08:57I think he likes your picture.
08:59Oh, yeah.
09:00Yay, little butterfly friend.
09:02There is no other butterfly quite like you.
09:06Uh, except maybe that one.
09:08Hey, it's another monarch.
09:10Uh, oh, and that one.
09:13And that one.
09:14And that one.
09:16I wonder what's going on here.
09:18Why are those little butterflies here?
09:20Monarch butterflies get together to migrate.
09:24Migrate means they move because of the change in seasons.
09:27Yeah, it's just too cold here in the winter.
09:30Whoa.
09:31Whoa.
09:33Whoa, there they go.
09:35Elmo's butterfly friend wouldn't leave Elmo.
09:38We're best friends, right, butterfly friend?
09:43Oh, no, but he didn't even say goodbye.
09:47He forgot all about Elmo.
09:49Maybe not.
09:51Look, he came back to say goodbye to you.
09:56Wow.
09:58Oh.
10:01Goodbye, little butterfly friend.
10:03And don't worry, Elmo understands.
10:07Elmo will always have this picture to remember you by.
10:15What?
10:16Goodbye, little butterfly friend.
10:18Come on, let's find out more fascinating facts about bugs.
10:22All right.
10:23OK, listen to this.
10:25Yeah?
10:26Dragonflies are the fastest flying bugs of all.
10:29And they can eat while flying.
10:31Really cool.
10:33Fascinating.
10:38Jump up, get down.
10:40Come dance with Elmo.
10:41We're moving our body to the ABCs.
10:44Dance nearby, wow.
10:47Dance far away, now clap your hands.
10:50To the letter of the day, clap, clap.
10:52What's the letter?
10:53Clap, clap.
10:54What's the letter?
10:55Clap, clap, clap, clap.
10:56What's the letter?
10:57What's the letter?
10:58What's the letter?
10:59What's the letter?
11:00What's the letter?
11:01The letter of the day.
11:05Clap, clap.
11:06It's the letter of the day.
11:07Clap, clap.
11:08It's the letter of the day.
11:10Clap, clap.
11:11It's the letter.
11:12It's the letter.
11:14It's the letter of the day.
11:16It's the letter of the day.
11:18Clap, clap.
11:19It's the letter of the day.
11:20Clap, clap.
11:21Hey, hey.
11:24Boo!
11:29The letter B. B is for butterflies.
11:35Butterflies are insects.
11:36They have six legs, two antennae, and two pairs of wings.
11:41Butterflies go through a metamorphosis, or a really big change.
11:45They begin their lives as caterpillars.
11:47When they're fully grown, they spin themselves into chrysalis.
11:52After some time passes, it turns into a butterfly.
11:56Wow!
11:59Butterflies only eat liquids like flower nectar and sap from flowers on trees.
12:04They also drink juice from fruits.
12:08Butterflies' wings have bright colors and patterns that help them do lots of things,
12:12like camouflage.
12:14This butterfly looks just like the tree.
12:18Wow!
12:20B is for butterflies.
12:23The letter B.
12:27Murray has a little lamb.
12:29Murray has a little lamb who wears a little bow.
12:33Together they go everywhere.
12:35Amigos like to go.
12:37He follows her to school each day.
12:39They run, they spin, they leap.
12:41Yo, everybody loves to see a monster and his sheep.
12:45And they all say, Murray, Murray, Murray, Murray.
12:48Murray has a little lamb.
12:50Murray has a little lamb.
12:52Murray has a little lamb.
12:55It's time for school, but where's my little lamb?
13:01Where'd she go?
13:03No!
13:05Hi, Ovejita!
13:06Hola, Murray!
13:08What school are we going to today?
13:13What is this?
13:15A flower!
13:16Yeah, a flower.
13:18And where does a flower grow?
13:20A garden!
13:21Yes!
13:22I think I know where we're going.
13:24We're going to...
13:26Gardening school!
13:29Escuela de jardinerÃa!
13:31Yeah!
13:32Yay!
13:44What happens in this garden?
13:46Generally in a garden like this one,
13:48we grow things that look pretty.
13:50And sometimes things that look pretty
13:52are also things that you can eat.
13:54Wait a minute.
13:55Spinach!
13:56Spinach has leaves.
13:57Can they grow in a garden?
13:58Yes.
13:59Are you ready to plant some seeds?
14:00Just like that.
14:01You know what I like?
14:02What?
14:03I like flowers.
14:04Yeah, me too.
14:06Que bonita!
14:08What color do flowers come in?
14:10White.
14:11White?
14:12Pink.
14:13Pink?
14:14Red.
14:15Red?
14:16And purple.
14:17And purple?
14:18And how about my favorite color of all?
14:19An orange flower.
14:20Orange?
14:21Well, right now we don't have any orange flowers.
14:22Yeah, maybe I could just stand there like this
14:24and pretend to be the orange flower.
14:26How do you plant a flower?
14:28We use seeds and water and sunshine.
14:31That's so much stuff a flower needs.
14:33I thought you just put it there and it just grows.
14:35Is that true?
14:36No, no.
14:37So what do I do first when I'm going to plant?
14:39We want to rake off any debris, any bits of old plant or petals.
14:42We want to make sure the soil looks nice and clean.
14:45So here's what we're going to do.
14:46When we plant, we're going to use this.
14:47This is a trowel.
14:48Does everybody know what a trowel is?
14:49Shovel!
14:50It is.
14:51It's like a really small shovel.
14:52Now, they're not very big, but they are kind of heavy.
14:55So you do have to be careful, OK?
14:58Sugar on a spoon.
14:59Put it right next to the hole.
15:00Perfect.
15:01Kareem, I'm really good at digging.
15:03Watch my digging moves.
15:04You ready?
15:05OK.
15:06Ah, ah, ah, ah.
15:09You think I'm going to be good at digging?
15:10Yes.
15:21Once we get the plants in the ground, what else do they need?
15:24Um, uh, company?
15:27No.
15:28Well, they do like company.
15:29A nice song, perhaps?
15:30They need water.
15:31Get that root, all of those roots, nice and wet.
15:36Hit it, Ovejita!
15:41Just press lightly, and you got it.
15:44Wow, there's so much stuff that comes out of a garden.
15:47He, he, he, he.
15:54I love gardening school.
15:57He, he, he.
15:58Escuela!
15:59See you next time at school.
16:01Adios!
16:02Bye!
16:03He, he, he, he.
16:06Greetings, all you nature lovers.
16:08This is your cute, furry, blue, and green-thumbed gardening
16:12monster, Grover.
16:14And today, I am going to tell you about the things
16:17that all cute little plants need to grow and stay healthy.
16:22Hmm?
16:23Well, first they need soil and sunlight, which this plant
16:25over here already has plenty of.
16:27But a plant also needs to eat.
16:30OK, little planty.
16:32I hope you are hungry, because, oh,
16:34have I got a treat for you.
16:36Something that all little plants love.
16:38And that is a big, healthful salad with radishes
16:45and tomatoes.
16:46Oh, and just a hint of oregano.
16:48Bon appetit.
16:51Do not wait for me.
16:52I have already eaten.
16:53What?
16:54Um, it appears this plant is not of the salad-eating variety.
17:00But fear not.
17:01I know what else a little plant needs to grow big and healthy.
17:08A pizza.
17:10Oh, oh, piping hot, fresh out of the oven.
17:14What?
17:15Oh, dear.
17:16This little plant does not seem to be a pizza eater either.
17:19But being the resourceful gardening monster that I am,
17:23I know just the thing that no little plant can resist.
17:29Hungarian goulash.
17:31Ah, ha, ha.
17:32Oh, enjoy.
17:34Do not resist.
17:37Give in to temptation.
17:40Or not.
17:41Oh, like a vase.
17:44I cannot believe this little plant is one finicky eater.
17:49And how will it ever grow to be big and healthy and green?
17:54And now it is raining.
17:57Oh, the weather report did not forecast rain today.
18:02But look.
18:03Ah, the little plant is looking nice and healthy again.
18:08Ah, I guess all it needed was a little water.
18:16And I guess what I really need right now is an umbrella.
18:23Excuse me.
18:25If you mind.
18:30Yum, yum, yum.
18:31Dum dee dee dum.
18:32How many cookies are there today?
18:39While they're still baking.
18:40Bake, bake, bake, bake.
18:41Let's do some shaking.
18:42Shake, shake, shake, shake.
18:45Shake, shake.
18:46How many cookies today?
18:48While they're still baking.
18:49Bake, bake, bake, bake.
18:50Let's do some more shaking.
18:51Shake, shake, shake, shake.
18:57Meeting to ready.
18:58Everybody steady.
18:591, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, ha, ha, ha.
19:12Cookies, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom,
19:17nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom, nom.
19:20That's how many cookies there were today.
19:2311.
19:26What are we going to find in the garden today?
19:29Oh, look, butterflies.
19:31Let's count the butterflies.
19:341, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11.
19:5611 butterflies.
19:5911.
20:03La, la, la, la.
20:05La, la, la, la.
20:06La, la, la, la.
20:08La, la, la, la.
20:09Elmo's full of wonder.
20:10Wonder what he will discover in Elmo's Wonderful World.
20:15Ha, ha, ha.
20:16Hi.
20:17Welcome to Elmo's World.
20:20Oh, guess what Elmo is wondering about today.
20:24Rip, rip.
20:26Rip, rip.
20:30Wow.
20:32Butterflies.
20:34Oh, hi, butterflies.
20:37Boy, Elmo loves butterflies and wants
20:40to find out more about them.
20:42Hey, let's ask our friend Smartie.
20:46Let's call her together.
20:47Oh, Smartie.
20:52Hiya, Elmo.
20:53Hi, Smartie.
20:55Look at me.
20:56I'm floating like a butterfly.
20:59Wow, pretty.
21:01Oh, that's perfect, Smartie, because Elmo
21:03wants to learn all about butterflies today.
21:06Well, what do we do to learn something new?
21:09We look it up.
21:12Searching the net for butterflies.
21:15Here we go.
21:17Butterflies start out as caterpillars.
21:20The caterpillar builds a chrysalis all around itself.
21:23Inside the chrysalis, the caterpillar
21:26goes through a metamorphosis, a big change,
21:31and turns into a butterfly.
21:34Butterflies are insects with six legs, two antennae,
21:38and two pairs of wings.
21:40For food, butterflies drink nectar from flowers
21:44and juice from some fruits.
21:47Boy, that was cool, Smartie.
21:50Well, I butterfly.
21:52Get it?
21:53Butterfly.
21:54Right, right.

21:56Right.
21:58Catch you later, Elmo.
22:01Bye-bye, Smartie.
22:05Hey, that gives Elmo an idea.
22:09Let's play a game together.
22:11Yeah.
22:12Come on.
22:13Come on.
22:18Let's help the butterfly get to the flower for lunch.
22:23Are you ready?
22:24Let's play.
22:25Ready, butterfly?
22:27OK.
22:28Go.
22:30Uh-oh.
22:31He's stuck.
22:32Oh, no.
22:33The butterfly took a wrong turn.
22:35Go back the way you came.
22:38That's it.
22:40Keep going, butterfly.
22:42Keep going.
22:43Oh, no.
22:44You went too far.
22:46Go back, butterfly.
22:49Don't miss the turn.
22:51Keep going, butterfly.
22:53You're almost there.
22:55That's it.
22:56Good job.
22:57We helped the butterfly get to the flower.
23:00Yay.
23:01We did it.
23:02Yeah, baby.
23:03Well, Elmo really loves butterflies.
23:06Oh, and that makes Elmo wonder even more.
23:10Oh, does Mr. Noodle know about butterflies?
23:13Oh, let's ask him.
