ELMO AND ABBY: THE MOON?

ELMO: WELL, MOTHER GOOSE, THAT WAS A WONDERFUL RHYME.

MOTHER GOOSE: THANK YOU.

ELMO: IT WAS VERY MOVING, BUT, UM, ELMO CAN'’’T JUMP OVER THE MOON.

MOTHER GOOSE: HE CAN'’’T?

ELMO: NO.

MOTHER GOOSE: OH, I THOUGHT EVERYONE COULD JUMP OVER THE MOON.

ELMO: NOT ELMO.

MOTHER GOOSE: MAYBE YOU CAN IF YOU GET A RUNNING START.

ELMO: OH!

THAT'’’S A GOOD IDEA.

OK.

MOTHER GOOSE: GOOD AS NEW.

ELMO: WELL, ELMO DIDN'’’T GET CLOSE TO THE MOON, BUT, YOU KNOW, MOTHER GOOSE, ELMO DOESN'’’T THINK THAT THIS NURSERY RHYME IS RIGHT FOR ELMO.

MOTHER GOOSE: UH-HUH.

ABBY: WELL, MAYBE YOU CAN WRITE ANOTHER NURSERY RHYME FOR HIM, MOTHER GOOSE.

ELMO: OH, YEAH!

MOTHER GOOSE: YES, YES, OF COURSE I CAN.

ABBY: BUT HE GOT RIGHT BACK UP!

ELMO: RIGHT BACK UP!

MOTHER GOOSE: HOO.

ELMO, I--I DON'’’T KNOW IF I CAN WRITE A NURSERY RHYME ABOUT YOU.

I DON'’’T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT YOU, REALLY.

ELMO: OH, WELL, UM, THAT'’’S OK, MOTHER GOOSE.

THANK YOU FOR TRYING.

MOTHER GOOSE: I'’’M SORRY.

I DID MY BEST.

EWW.

ABBY: UH, MOTHER GOOSE?

MOTHER GOOSE: YES?

ABBY: I COULD TELL YOU ABOUT ELMO.

HE'’’S MY FRIEND.

MOTHER GOOSE: YOU COULD?

REALLY?

I THINK THAT WOULD BE VERY HELPFUL.

ABBY: OH!

MOTHER GOOSE: OK. TELL ME EVERYTHING YOU KNOW.

ABBY: WELL, UM--WELL, HE'’’S VERY KIND.

ELMO: BOY, ELMO WONDERS WHAT IT'’’S GONNA BE ABOUT.

ABBY: OH, YOU'’’LL SEE.

MOTHER GOOSE: IT'’’S MY WORLD PREMIERE, AND I THINK IT MIGHT BE MY BEST YET.

IT'’’S ABOUT A MONSTER CALLED ELMO.

ELMO: BU--ELMO?

OH, BUT ELMO THOUGHT THAT MOTHER GOOSE COULDN'’’T WRITE ABOUT ELMO.

MOTHER GOOSE: WELL, I THOUGHT SO, TOO, BUT THAT'’’S BECAUSE I DIDN'’’T KNOW ENOUGH ABOUT YOU, ELMO, BUT YOUR FRIEND ABBY WAS KIND ENOUGH TO TELL ME SOME OF THE THINGS THAT MAKE YOU SPECIAL, AND IT WAS A LOT, ENOUGH FOR A LONG RHYME.

LET'’’S GO.

ELMO: OK!

MOTHER GOOSE: AH-AH-AH-HEM.

"HEY DIDDLE DONSTER."

HEY DIDDLE DONSTER, ELMO'’’S A MONSTER WHO'’’S AS KIND AS KIND CAN BE.

COW: AWW.

ELMO: WOW.

MOTHER GOOSE: HEY DIDDLE DONSTER, A RED FURRY MONSTER WHO'’’S HELPFUL, UH, TO YOU AND ME.

COW: OOH!

MOTHER GOOSE: HE'’’S GREAT AT SHARING AND RIDING HIS TRIKE.

CAT: MRAWW.

A NURSERY RHYME IS A SHORT POEM OR A SONG THAT RHYMES AND CAN TELL A STORY.

JACK BE NIMBLE, JACK BE QUICK.
