Have fun learning to count!
Poor Elmo! Everyone was ready for the big hike through the park but him. Trevor Martin, age 2, from Cary, Illinois, found Elmo sitting sadly on the steps of 123 Sesame Street.
"What's the matter, Elmo?" asked Trevor, swinging a backpack.
Elmo sighed. "Elmo is supposed to bring 10 sandwiches on the hike, but Elmo isn't
good at counting to 10."
"Come on, I'll help you," said Trevor. "Eli, Luke and Emma always help me when I
need it. That's what friends are for!"
With help from Trevor, the sandwiches were soon ready and everyone set off on the
hike. As they walked, they heard a loud growl.
"Yikes!" yelped Bert. "Bears!"
Ernie laughed. "Nope. That's just my tummy telling me it's time for a snack." His tummy
growled again.
"Who has the backpack?" asked Trevor. "There are snacks inside."
"Elmo has one backpack," said Elmo, as Big Bird pulled some apples from the pack.
"Yum, yum, two apples. One for Elmo and one for Ernie's hungry tummy."
The path led to a wide stream.
"Watch me!" shouted Prairie Dawn. "I won't get wet." She jumped across the brook on
some stones.
"Elmo, can you count the stones?" asked Trevor.
"Yes, yes! Three stones." Elmo hopped across. Hop, hop, hop.
"Pop, pop, pop! Three heads popped out of the water.
"Look, Elmo," laughed Trevor. "Those stones were really turtles!"
"Elmo can count turtles, too!" said Elmo. "One, two, three!"
In a sunny spot beside the brook, Trevor spotted something else for Elmo to count.
"Take a look at those bumps on the log," Trevor said.
"Ooooh. One, two, three, four lumpy bumps on a log," counted Elmo. "Four bumps that
look like..."
Ribbit, ribbit, croak, croak! The four bumps jumped away.
Trevor grinned. "Four lumpy frogs like bumps on a log! Eli, Luke and Emma would
sure like to see those funny frogs."
When they reached a bright green meadow, everyone ran and played in the long grass.
"I spy five things, Elmo," said Trevor. "Can you guess what they are?"
"Where? What?" said Elmo. "Elmo sees lots of things."
"I'll give you a hint," said Trevor. "The five things I see are little and green and squiggle
a lot."
"Okay, Elmo will look for five little green things that squiggle."
