Prince Grover

Bert and Ernie are best friends.
They live together.
Bert is neat.
Ernie is messy.


Sometimes Ernie is VERY messy.
Then Bert gets mad.
“Ernie, come here!” Bert shouts.
“Look at the mess 당신 have made!”

“Okay, Bert,” says Ernie. “I am coming.”


Ernie jumps out of the tub.
Splash! Splash!
Ernie splashes water on the floor.
Drip. Drip.
He drips water on the rug.

“Ernie!” Bert shouts. “You are making a BIGGER mess!”
Ernie smiles at Bert.
“But, Bert,” Ernie says, “you told me to look at the mess I made.”


Now Bert is very angry.
“I wish I lived here all 의해 myself!” he shouts.
Bert...

Herry Monster liked to skip.
One 일 he skipped down Sesame Street…
and right into the mailman.
Letters went flying.
So did the mailman.


Herry helped the mailman get up.
Then he picked up the letters.
“Look!” said Herry. “A letter for ME!”
Herry dropped his bag and read the letter.

The letter said: “Come to a 차 party. Bring your 가장 좋아하는 doll.”
It was from Ernie and Bert.


Herry skipped down the block.
“I 사랑 parties!” he sang.
He skipped to Betty Lou’s house.
She had a letter too.

“Are 당신 going to the party?” he asked her.
“Oh, yes,” she said. “And so is my beautiful doll.”...

Elmo was younger and smaller than all of his 프렌즈 on Sesame Street.
It was hard for him to keep up with them.


Elmo could not run as fast as the others.

He could not jump as far as the others.

He could not play baseball at all.
The bat was bigger than Elmo!


One sunny 일 Ernie and Bert and Big Bird and Grover went roller skating in the park.
Elmo went too.
Suddenly a 벨 rang.
It was the ice cream truck.
Everyone skated off to get some ice cream.
“Hey!” Elmo cried. “Wait for me!”


Grover skated back to Elmo.
“I, Grover, will help you. Hold on to my hand,” he said.
And off they went.

Clickety-clack,...

Big Bird was looking for someone to play with.
“Here comes Bert,” said Big Bird. “I bet he will play catch with me.”


“Hi, Bert!” said Big Bird. “Let’s play catch.”

Bert kept on walking.
“Not today,” said Bert. “Ernie is waiting for me.”
Big Bird looked surprised.
“Oh,” he said.


Just then Grover ran out of his house.
He had a shiny new truck.
“Hi, Grover!” said Big Bird. “That’s a nice truck. Let’s play with it.”
Grover kept on running.
“I am sorry, Big Bird, but I am giving it to Ernie,” said Grover.
Big Bird looked sad.
“Oh,” he said.


Then Big Bird saw Cookie...

Grover was so happy.
He was going to spend two weeks with his cousins Rosie and Frank.
He kissed his mother good-bye.
Then he got into Uncle Jed’s car.


Uncle Jed drove out of the city and into the country.
Soon Uncle Jed said, “Here we are!”
Everyone was happy to see Grover.

Aunt Edna made a picnic lunch to welcome Grover.
After lunch Rosie said, “Let’s go bike riding, Grover!”
She ran to get her bike.
“But, Rosie,” said Grover, “I do not have a bike.”


“We have an extra bike,” said Rosie happily.
“Frank got a big new bike for his birthday. 당신 can ride his little old one.”
Grover...

Big Bird liked to play with his friends.
But playing with them was hard for Big Bird because…


their jump ropes were too short…

their hopscotch boxes were too small…


their hide-and-seek hiding places were too little…

their see-saws came down but never went up.


One 일 Big Bird came 집 from the park 의해 himself.
“I am too big to play with my friends,” he sobbed.

He was so busy crying he did not see his friend, Snuffle-upagus.


“Don’t cry, Bird,” said Snuffle-upagus. “You are not too big. Their games are too little.”

Big Bird jumped up.
He stopped crying.
“Do 당신 really think so, Mr....
