So theres no spelling involved. Watch. Moo. That means i like ice cream. Itll never work. Now, ive come up with a language based on math. Each letter is given a number from one to 26. And then. What do you mean itll never work . Without an alphabet, youd have to come up with thousands of sounds and gestures. Yeah, but you could build on top of ones you already have. This is i like. But this is i like a lot. Well, its dangerous. What if you want to Say Something while youre riding a bike . So . How much talking do you do on your bike anyway . George, it just looks really silly.

I shutter at the thought and would rather stay here. I just want whatever girl who buys me to really care about my beautiful culture and heritage. It is my culture and heritage that has the true beauty. Everybody knows that. There can be more than one culture with beauty. But none as ancient as mine. No culture compares to the french not this argument again, you two. Besides, we cant control who buys us. Either they will or they wont care about our cultures and histories. That just adds to the wild adventure. But. door creaking open kids chattering excitedly yay kids cheering im so glad youre into world girl dolls, too, sue e. Francine doesnt care about them at all.

Ill have danny pick up butter eggs and milk on his way home from work. No its no trouble at all. He has to stop at the bakery anyway. Very well. But see that she doesnt make a habit of it.

Ive got to get you cleaned up and ready for bed. Uhoh. mom gasps my rug you have to crack a few eggs to bake a cake. sighs i didnt think that was ever going to come out. I guess we should have blended all those ingredients in bowls and not on the rug. skits barks in confusion blend when you blend something you mix one thing with another. Helen like you blend red paint with yellow paint to make orange paint. Or you blend a spoon with a fork and you get a spork. Or you blend strawberries and yogurt to make a strawberry smoothie. Martha and if you blended skits with a giraffe, youd get a skigaffe. Hey, drop some of that food down here. skits moans oh, come on, if i were a margaffe, id share with you. Aw please. Look grimbles is giving out free samples. Lets get some. You wont like it. How do you know . Uh, it isnt food. Oh bummer. Want a spritz . sniffs what is it . From the way theyre spritzing i think its perfume. Perfume . groans why do people wear that stuff . They like to smell good. If people really wanted to smell good theyd roll in bacon. sniffs i dont think it smells good at all. sniffs, groans neither do i. It smells like dog. sniffs groans in disgust looks like its bath time again. What . I just had one last month. There ought to be some way around bathing. sniffs sighs hey, thats it sniffs groans your dogs are stinkariffic. You should give them a bath. Martha and skits dont get baths. We just use this perfume. One spritz, and they both smell great. sniffs light, fresh with a hint of bacon. I like it. Hey, your bath follow me. If this works, ill never have to bathe again. You want my dad to invent a dog perfume . Yeah, one thats really strong so ill never have to take a bath again. Cant be done. Why not . Perfume stinks. Put stinky perfume on a stinky dog and peeew, stink overload. Theres got to be a way. No, i think marthas on to something. I am . I mean, you bet i am ecologically speaking think how much water would be saved if dogs didnt bathe. This has enormous implications for the planet. See, im not even thinking of me. Im thinking of the planet. Id be happy to concoct a perfume for you. sniffs the sooner the better. Martha concocting sounds hard. Why dont you just make one instead . I am. Concoct means to make something by mixing Different Things together. Martha oh, are you concocting my perfume right now . No im concocting my lunch. sniffs, sighs pea soup want some . groaning in disgust hmm. Very interesting. According to this book, perfumes have five fragrance families. Floral, which means it smells like flowers. blowing barks citrus, which means it smells citrusy like a. Like a lemon or an orange. screaming woodsy. Td timber grunts ow ow, ow, ow og green, which means its fresh, like grass or herbs. Td you need a trim or spicy. arabian music playing like pepper or cinnamon. hoarsely water. Water. sputtering thats not what i meant. Is there a bacon fragrance family . Um, no. Can you concoct one . You might be on to something, my canine companion. Ill have to ponder that, but first things first. Td helen what are we doing . We should be in the lab concocting perfume. We have to find the ingredients first. Perfume has ingredients . Uhhuh, to make perfume, you dont just use one smell. You combine several different smells. stammering combine . Does that mean you mix things together . Yeah. sniffs ew whatever smells we do combine will have to be really strong to cover this up. Smell. Um, thats okay. I believe you. No, really, you have to smell this. No, td sniffs meh. Thanks. Do you like the floral smell . sniffs meh. sniffing but that. Flippin fajitas, that smells good. Martha, garbage is not perfume. Says who . Says everybody but dogs. sniffing screams groans oh great. Now i have to take a bath. Ah, sorry about that, td. Once your dad makes my perfume you can use it, too. Hmm. No, really. Its been nine months three weeks, six days 19 hours and 34 minutes since ive had a bath. Youd never know it would you . What are we standing around here for . Lets get those ingredients. Think martha will like the smell of this grass . I dont know. She tends to eat it not smell it. You guys, come quick i found the perfect ingredient for my perfume its strong its fresh, and it has real sticking power. laughing ooh what an aroma. Bewitching isnt it . Martha we cant put that in a perfume. Hmm . Why not . Because were trying to make you smell better, not worse. Uh, sorry about that, td. chuckles like any of these . sniffing uh, theyre okay. But this shoe. sniffing divine laughs sniffing this is hopeless. Your dogs idea of a great perfume is garbage foot stink and swampy fish goo. Mmm, fish goo. chuckles are you concocting now . No nope. Now that we have the ingredients we have to separate them. Separate . You mean split them up into different groups . Uhhuh. Separating is like sorting. Why are you separating the ingredients . I thought you had to combine them to make perfume. Quite right, my furry friend. But before combining, we extract. And before we extract we separate. Extract . Youre going to extract . I love to extract ouch. How do you extract . Extract means to pull something out of Something Else. Like i just extracted this burr from your foot. And i just extracted a potato chip from helens plate. With perfume, you extract scents from Different Things in different ways. Wood is tough so you use alcohol to extract its scent. But herbs and grasses are more fragile. You extract their fragrances by steaming them. These bottles each contain a separate extract. Well combine them to create the perfect fragrance. But beware. Not all fragrances smell good together. Some scents, when blended really stink. sniffing groans a drop holds a lot of smell. Youre telling me. Where are you going . To take another bath. sniffs sniffing hmm. It needs a drop of something. Why dont you spray your own arm . Because yours already stinks. sniffing add a drop of lavender and two drops of clove. sniffing too much. sniffing hmm, not enough. sniffing sniffing thats it im all sprayed out. Td you cant give up. Its no use. You guys have sprayed me so much, my nose cant keep things separate anymore. Im one big cloud of stink. Im not giving up. Helen, are you crazy . How can you keep going . Smell her. She sleeps in my room. If i dont come up with a perfume soon my nose is going to fall off my face. sniffing groans okay. sneezes whew this perfume is getting to me. Getting to you . sneezes stop spraying me og ive got it the missing ingredient one drop of this, and well have our perfume. I dont think anyones sprayed me there yet. Okay martha, what do you think . sniffing ooh. Yes. Yes whats in there . Extract of bacon. Imperceptible to humans but to a dogs highly sensitive nose. Bow wow precisely. But is it Strong Enough to cover dog stink . Theres only one way to find out. Come here and get a spritz. all sniffing i dont believe it it worked no more dog stink og on behalf of dogs everywhere i thank you. dogs barking martha panting quick helen give me a bath what . Its the bacon. Its driving the other dogs wild. Tell your dad thanks for trying to help us out. Sure. groans what . That perfume, its in my nose. Everything tastes like bacon. Bacon flavored yogurt. Yum want to go to my house and watch courageous collie carlo . Sure sniffing mmm just let me get marthas perfume. gasps oh no maybe it smells different on people. Eh. dogs barking screaming told you that bacon would be a big hit. barking trust me, its a simple matter of combining and separating. First, we combine our strength and knock over the garbage can. barking grunts now, we separate the good stuff from the trash. garbage rustling, clinking good stuff. garbage rustling, clinking oh oh, skits, mmm, you got to try this. Combine that and that. Yum groans i wish i could separate this from its wrapper. clears throat uhoh. Quick, skits, lets separate ourselves from the scene of the crime sighs weve already mixed in that ingredient. It needs a drop more. laughs i dont think so. Oh. Welcome back did you extract all of todays words . Enjoy the clips. A recipe. Its like directions for making food. It gives you a list of things you need to make something and tells you what to put in and when. Ingredients are things you need to make something. Bye. See you next time. Whos that dog . Whos that dog . Dog, dddog, ddog. That dog is casey. Casey works for my dad. My dads a farmer. Shes a farmers helper thats a dog. She catches mice. And rabbits. She scares away birds. casey barks casey learned to not walk in the beds. Sometimes shell work and sometimes shell play. Shes that dog. Dog, dddog, ddog. Announcer hes Curious George.

Narrator maybe it wasnt so bad being a Little Monkey in a big world after all. And there was one thing his arms were always the right size for. Child george is a monkey. He learned how to measure things to get the right size. Girl today, we are measuring stuff. We took a piece of yarn and measured her arm length. Boy were going to see if its the same as her body length. My prediction is that her arm length is going to be shorter than her body length. Prediction means when you take a guess at something. Its kind of like the same length as your body. My prediction was wrong. I thought her arm length was going to be smaller than her body length. We traced ourselves. Girl my mom helped us. Boy we made ourselves out of cardboard. Were going to measure the bench with tias. My prediction is four tias. Both one. Two. Three. Girl it came out to three plus almost a full tia. And her feet are sticking out. laughing narrator george thought professor wisemans beach house was great. This time, it was even greater because george had brought yorbo, the friendliest robot ever. electronic beeps and blips mechanical voice searching. Searching. Searching. Item found. Ah hoots excitedly yorbo is great, yes . chatters yeah narrator yorbos next job was to help george and the man with the yellow hat pack a lunch for the beach. Oh, no. Not. Look out huh . Man oh. Sorry, george. Im listening to an audio book the slimy sea monster from the sea. Its great. And scary. Ooh. Narrator george didnt understand how something could be great and scary. Ah. chattering thanks. Uhhuh electronic beeping now, are you ready for a long hike to the beach . Uhhuh tadah beeping laughing chuckles i hope we dont run into any slimy sea monsters. sighs narrator george couldnt think of a better way to spend the day than exploring the beach with yorbo. whirring beeping whirring beeping keep items in here . Uhhuh man say, george, you want to go swimming . hoots uhhuh, uhhuh uhhuh, uhhuh ooh. Good idea. Sorry, yorbo. Robots cant swim. Could you read the manual again, please . chatters how come . man well, george, if yorbo was made of plastic like your bucket or wood like this chair he could go in the water. But yorbo is made of metal which rusts when it gets wet. And rust is very bad for metal, because it does this. Oh. Uhoh. chitters sadly last monkey in is a rotten turnip hooting george hooting excitedly thunder rumbling i guess a storm is coming. groans correction the storm is here. Quick, george, lets get inside whew. Made it. sputtering groans uh, okay. thunder rumbling grunting narrator george thought it would be fun to sit inside a cozy house and watch a storm with the man and. Yorbo. frantic chattering george, you cant go outside when theres thunder and lightning. chattering oh, yorbo is out there. hooting dont worry. Hell get wet, but well clean and dry him before he has time to rust. As soon as the storm quiets down, well go get him. whimpers softly thunder rumbling hey. How about a game of tictactoe . moans sadly narrator george usually really enjoyed tictactoe but this time, he couldnt get his mind off yorbo. snoring softly birds chirping huh . gasps chattering excitedly gasps chatters huh . george chatters curiously man wow. The storm really did a number on the beach. Dont worry, george. Yorbos a tough little robot. Well find him. sighs calling out hooting chattering under the seaweed . Could be. chattering okay. Narrator but yorbo wasnt under that seaweed. Or any of the seaweed. frustrated groaning sighs okay. So, weve searched on top of the sand and under the seaweed, which means. Yorbo must be buried in the sand. Ah. chatters excitedly uhhuh man im digging a hole looking for a robot humming melody im digging a hole, looking for a robot humming detector beeping oh, wow i found gold whoa or a cd player. Hey, thats mine. I forgot all about it. Oh, wow, wasnt that a great storm . You always find such great stuff after a storm, you know . Ooh. chatters nifty, huh . Its a metal detector. It helps you find buried metal. beeping chatters curiously youre right, george. That could help us find yorbo. Whats a yorbo . Oh, hes a robot who got lost in the storm. Georges favorite toy. Oh, well, then you need this more than i do. chatters excitedly now, the louder it beeps the closer youre getting to metal. Now, when it beeps like crazy . Bingo you have just made a monkey very happy. Narrator using the detector george found lots of metal things. detector beeps rapidly chatters excitedly sighs sadly ringing but none of them was yorbo. detector beeping beeping rapidly beeping stops oh, the batteries are dead. Ill have to recharge them but ill bring this back tomorrow in case youre still looking. Bye now thank you oh, pfft narrator george couldnt wait for tomorrow. He had to find yorbo before he rusted. computer rings thats probably professor wiseman. Maybe she can think of something. Hey, guys hi. I heard there was a storm, so i thought id check in. sighs oh, whats wrong . Well, george cant find his robot. Its buried in the sand. Hmm. Is it made of metal . Uhhuh. You could try using a metal detector. We borrowed one, but it ran out of batteries. Well, metal detectors are easy to make. Huh . Sure first, grab the portable radio from the shelf. Okay. Am fm radio. Check. Next, find the calculator. Uh, bottom drawer on the desk. chatters then, get some tape. Uh, top drawer on the desk. chatters now take the radio and switch it to am. Okay. Then turn the knob all the way to the highest Radio Station number but make sure you get static and not an actual station. Turn up the volume then turn on the calculator and tape it to the radio. chatters fantastic you see, the radio and calculator act as a magnet. When it finds things that would stick to a magnet the radio beeps. chatters excitedly thats amazing. I cant believe you knew that well, how do you think i won first place in my secondgrade science fair . Narrator george was confused. He had already searched half the beach. But which half . If only the beach were smaller. Then george remembered tictactoe. He could break up the beach into smaller sections like a tictactoe board. If george could mark off the squares he searched, then hed know where hed looked and where he needed to look. Ah chatters excitedly hi, george. chatters excitedly you want to make a grid to help you keep track of your search . Uhhuh, uhhuh uhhuh oh, great idea, george. All set let me know if you need anything. chatters okay. narrator if george searched every square then hed be sure to find yorbo. beeping huh . In square number four, george found. A trumpet. In square six, george found. chatters excitedly oh. A front grill to a 57 cadillac. But by square number eight there was still no sign of yorbo. No luck, huh . Uhuh. Narrator yorbo had to be in this last square. He had to. detector beeping slowly beeping rapidly oh, oh, oh chatters excitedly aha chatters excitedly laughs way to go, george you found him musical tones play yorbo is great. Yes . Uhhuh musical tones play chatters goodbye have fun sighs well, i guess this means i can get back to the thrilling conclusion of my book. static crackling, sand rattling oh, well, wait for me yorbo beeping girl geor girl george is a monkey. He used a metal detector to find metal things in the sand. Boing we are cleaning the sandbox. Girl while i was cleaning i found a letter with a magnet on it, right here. And then i saw that if you moved one magnet around, then you can find metal. Were gonna use magnets to find stuff in the sandbox. Girl this is like a metal detector that george used. Jacob just found a nut on a bolt. Its the type of metal that does stick to a magnet. Some kinds of metal dont stick to magnets. Whoa now were fishing with the magnets. Were not catching fish. Were catching metal. Girl jacob caught a paintbrush. The magnet stuck to the metal part. We learned a lot about magnets and metal. Lets imagine were wearing space suits. Whoa oh, cool girl its a lot of fun to imagine things with elmo, being anything you want to be and going anywhere you want to go. Shape ahoy add a bunch of math.

Except when its water vapour. But this is different than the water vapour we saw on the screen. These are more like big water drops. Maybe the water vapour turned into water drops . Can it do that . Well, the water in our puddle turned to vapour in the hot sun. But up here, its cold. So maybe. Cold air made the vapour turn back into water . slurp my you are so clever. It sure tastes like water if thats true then this is part of your puddle. And this and this so thats where our puddle went. The tiny drops floated up here to help make a cloud then were in a cloudpuddle a cluddle a ploud . Oh whatever. Who wants to go cloudswimming .

Besides, i like to stay here, eating leaves. eating sounds do you have a home . No, but ive got these claws. gulp i just hang on tight and sleep right here. yawn so you spend your entire life up here . I come down to go to the bathroom about once a week. Thats a whole days work well. Thanks for talking to us. Im in an african savannah, on a jungle patrol. Surrounded by green at this old water hole. A good place to be at least thats what i think for so many animals come here to drink. The black and white zebras arrive in a crowd so do the monkeys. Who are terribly loud. The elephants plod down their very worn path they drink and they spray. Thats an elephants bath. A Giraffe Braces his legs dipping down for a sip with his extra long tongue flipping over his lip. And theres a small oxpecker perched on his back, eating ticks, eating fleas, its his favourite snack. But all of the animals step to one side when the king of the beasts wants his thirst satisfied. Theyre all shapes and all sizes, with fur skin or feather. An african water hole. Brings the creatures together lo lets imagine were wearing space suits. Whoa oh, cool girl its a lot of fun to imagine things with elmo, being anything you want to be and going anywhere you want to go. Shape ahoy add a bunch of math. Subtraction and some silly song and dance. Elmo elmo the musical girl you get. Elmo the musical elmo the musical this is elmos story. Anything can happen.
