ELMO: YEAH, HI.

WELCOME TO SESAME STREET.

NINA: AND HAPPY NEW YEAR.

ABBY: HUH?

ELMO: OH, HI, NINA.

NINA: HI.

ELMO: UM, ELMO DOESN'’’T THINK THAT IT'’’S THE NEW YEAR RIGHT NOW.

NINA: WELL, NOT ON OUR CALENDAR, IT'’’S NOT.

TODAY'’’S THE CHINESE NEW YEAR.

ABBY: BUT WE'’’RE NOT IN CHINA.

NINA: THAT'’’S TRUE, BUT YOU DON'’’T NEED TO BE CHINESE OR LIVE IN CHINA TO CELEBRATE CHINESE NEW YEAR.

IT'’’S ALSO CALLED THE SPRING FESTIVAL.

ABBY: OH, BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE SO HAPPY THEY SPRING UP AND DOWN LIKE THIS?

SPRING, SPRING, SPRING, SPRING.

NINA: I THINK THEY'’’RE CELEBRATING THAT SPRINGTIME IS COMING.

ELMO: OH.

ABBY: OH, WELL, THAT MAKES SENSE, TOO.

ELMO: YEAH.

NINA: I'’’VE BEEN LEARNING ALL ABOUT CHINESE NEW YEAR IN THIS GREAT BOOK.

YOU WANT TO CHECK IT OUT?

ABBY: YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.

ELMO: I'’’D LOVE TO.

ABBY: LET'’’S CHECK IT OUT.

OH, BOY.

ELMO: WHAT YOU GOT THERE?

ABBY: OH, YEAH.

NINA: SO TO GET READY, MANY FAMILIES CLEAN THEIR HOMES AND HANG DECORATIONS, LIKE THESE LANTERNS.

ELMO: WOW!

HEY, THOSE LANTERNS ARE RED LIKE ELMO.

OH, OH, AND NINA HAS SOME RED LANTERNS HANGING UP HERE AT THE BIKE SHOP.

NINA: IN CHINESE CULTURE, THE COLOR RED REPRESENTS LUCK AND GOOD FORTUNE.

ELMO: REALLY?

ELMO LIKES THE CHINESE NEW YEAR ALREADY.

ABBY: YEAH, ME, TOO.

SO, UM, WHAT HAPPENS DURING THIS CELEBRATION?

ELMO: YEAH.

NINA: WELL, CHINESE FAMILIES AND FRIENDS GATHER AND EAT TOGETHER.

AND PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD CELEBRATE IN LOTS OF DIFFERENT WAYS.

ELMO: WOW.

NINA: SOME OF THEM DOING...

THE DRAGON DANCE!

ABBY: OHH!

A DANCING DRAGON?

OH, DOES THE DRAGON TAP DANCE LIKE THIS?

TAP, TAP, RAWR!

TAP, TAP, RAWR!

ELMO: HA HA!

UM, NINA, ELMO THINKS THAT DRAGON LOOKS A LITTLE SCARY.

DOES IT BREATHE FIRE?

NINA: WELL, NO, IT'’’S NOT A REAL DRAGON.

YOU SEE THE DANCERS UNDERNEATH?

ELMO: OH.

ELMO KNEW THAT.

HA HA HA.

NINA: HA HA.

YEAH.

AND SEE THESE SCALES?

ELMO: UH-HUH.

NINA: THEY'’’RE ACTUALLY LITTLE PIECES OF PAPER.

PEOPLE WRITE THEIR WISHES ON THEM AND PUT THEM ON THE DRAGON.

ELMO: OH!

ABBY: I LOVE MAKING WISHES.

ELMO: YEAH, ELMO, TOO.

OH, ELMO HAS A WISH RIGHT NOW.

ELMO WISHES WE COULD DO THE DRAGON DANCE FOR THE CHINESE NEW YEAR.

ABBY: YEAH.

NINA: I WISH WE COULD, TOO, BUT WHERE WOULD I BUY A DRAGON COSTUME RIGHT NOW?

ABBY: WELL, WE DON'’’T NEED A DRAGON COSTUME FROM A STORE TO DO THE DRAGON DANCE.

WE CAN MAKE OUR OWN DRAGON.

ELMO: YEAH, THAT'’’S RIGHT.

OH, ABBY CAN JUST POOF A DRAGON WITH HER MAGIC WAND.

GO FOR IT, ABBY.

ABBY: UH, WELL, ACTUALLY, I CAN'’’T.

I LEFT MY MAGIC WAND IN MY CUBBY AT SCHOOL.

ELMO: OH.

ABBY: BUT, UH, WELL, WE DON'’’T NEED MAGIC TO MAKE A DRAGON COSTUME.

NINA: ABBY'’’S RIGHT.

WE HAVE EVERYTHING WE NEED TO MAKE A DRAGON FOR CHINESE NEW YEAR.

WE JUST HAVE TO GET A LITTLE CREATIVE.

IF WE WANT TO GET CREATIVE, HERE'’’S WHAT WE DO.

ELMO: CAN WE USE SILLY STICKERS?

HELP, HELP!

GROVER: AAH!

OHH, OHH!

DUCKLING: SUPER GROVER 2.0!

YOU SHOWED UP.

GROVER: UNH!

IT IS WHAT I DO.

SO WHAT SEEMS TO BE THE PROBLEM, LITTLE ONE?

DUCKLING: I'’’M TRYING TO GET TO THAT PARTY OVER THERE, BUT I DON'’’T KNOW HOW TO GET ACROSS THE STREAM.

GROVER: FIRST, I SHALL UNLEASH THE POWER OF OBSERVATION.

MMM!

DUCKLING: OH, I DON'’’T WANT TO MISS THE PARTY.

GROVER: HMM.

I SEE WITH MY SUPER EYES THAT YOU WALK LIKE A DUCK.

DUCKLING: QUACK!

GROVER: AAH!

AND I HEAR WITH MY SUPER EARS THAT YOU QUACK LIKE A DUCK.

DUCKLING: QUACK!

GROVER: MY SUPER POWERS OF OBSERVATION TELL ME YOU ARE A DUCK.

DUCKLING: OF COURSE I'’’M A DUCK.

QUACK!

GROVER: WELL, THEN DO NOT BE DAFFY, DUCK.

YOU CAN SWIM ACROSS THE STREAM.

EVERYONE KNOWS THAT DUCKS CAN SWIM.

DUCKLING: WELL, YES, BUT IF I SWIM ACROSS, I'’’LL RUIN MY BRAND-NEW PARTY SHOES.

LOOK.

GROVER: STUNNING!

DUCKLING: IF ONLY THERE WERE A BRIDGE HERE.

GROVER: WHAT'’’S THAT NOW?

DUCKLING: YOU KNOW, SOMETHING STURDY AND DRY THAT CONNECTS ONE SIDE OF A STREAM TO THE OTHER SIDE.

GROVER: OH, YOU MEAN A CROSSY OVER THING.

WHAT GOOD WOULD THAT DO?

DUCKLING: WELL, I COULD WALK ACROSS IT WITHOUT MY SHOES GETTING WET.

GROVER: AH!

WELL, THEN STAND BACK, FOR I SUPER GROVER 2.0 WILL NOW UNLEASH THE POWER OF ENGINEERING AND DESIGN YOU A CROSSY OVER THING.

DUCKLING: YOU MEAN A BRIDGE.

GROVER: YEAH.

WHATEVER.

AHH.

♪ DESIGN, DESIGN, DESIGN ♪ AND TA-DA!

DUCKLING: A BRIDGE MADE OF BROCCOLI?

GROVER: YES!

IT IS THE LATEST IN GREEN DESIGN.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

DUCKLING: WELL, I DON'’’T THINK THAT BROCCOLI IS THE RIGHT THING TO MAKE A BRIDGE OUT OF, SUPER GRO... GROVER: OF COURSE IT IS!

DUCKLING: VER.

GROVER: NOW LET ME CHECK MY UTILITY SOCK.

THERE MUST BE ONE HERE SOMEWHERE.

[THUNK] HUH?

WHAT IS THIS WOODEN ROUNDY THINGY DOING IN MY SOCK?

DUCKLING: HEY.

MAYBE WE COULD USE THAT.

GROVER: DO NOT BE SILLY.

THIS IS NOT BROCCOLI.

DUCKLING: I KNOW.

IT'’’S A LOG, SUPER GROVER, AND IT LOOKS LIKE IT MIGHT BE LONG ENOUGH TO STRETCH ACROSS THE STREAM.

GROVER: NOT NOW, LITTLE WADDLER.

FIRST...

I MUST FIND THAT PESKY VEGETABLE.

DUCKLING: I GUESS I'’’LL JUST BUILD THE BRIDGE MYSELF THEN.

I CAN JUST PUSH THIS LOG.

GROVER: THE BROCCOLI.

DUCKLING: AHH.

SUPER GROVER, I DID IT!

I ENGINEERED A BRIDGE WITH THE LOG.

IT WAS LONG ENOUGH!

OK. LET'’’S SEE IF THIS WORKS.

AHH.

I'’’LL START ON THIS SIDE AND WADDLE, WADDLE, WADDLE, WADDLE, WADDLE, WADDLE, WADDLE TO THE OTHER SIDE WITHOUT GETTING MY SHOES WET.

HA!

IT WORKED.

NOW I CAN GO TO THE PARTY!

THANKS FOR THE LOG, SUPER GROVER!

GROVER: AHH.

DO NOT THANK ME, YOU LUCKY DUCKIE!

ENJOY THE PARTY!

ANNOUNCER: AND SO OUR HERO LEARNED THAT AN ENGINEER NEEDS THE RIGHT SIZE AND SHAPE MATERIALS TO SOLVE A PROBLEM.

GROVER: WELL, IT LOOKS AS THOUGH MY WORK HERE IS DONE.

UP, UP, AND AWAY!

AAH!

OHH!

PERHAPS NEXT TIME, I SHOULD TAKE THE BRIDGE.

DUCKLING: WELCOME TO THE PARTY, SUPER GROVER!
