- Oh!

Hello everybody!

It is I, your lovable furry old pal, Grover!

- [Child] Hi, Grover!

- [Kid] Hi, Grover!

- And what do we have here?

The monster at the end of your story.

Wait, whose story?

- [Children] It's our story!

- Oh!

How exciting!

That means you get to help tell the story.

I cannot, wait just a minute.

Did that say there would be a monster

at the end of your story?

You may not know this about me, but I am afraid of--

- Hi, Grover!

- Monsters! (yells)

Oh, Elmo!

It is only you.

(children laugh)

Where did that come from?

What?

What is happening?

- It's the story!

Your story is beginning!

- Yeah! - Let's start the story!

- No, no, no, no, no.

I am sorry, but I do not want to watch your story.

Watch your story.

Hey, that gives me an idea.

Be right back.

This will stop you from watching.

I am going to tie up the screen,

so the story cannot go any further.

Then, we will never get to the end. (chuckles)

- But Elmo wants to see what happens in the story, Grover!

- [Children] Yeah!

- [Child] We wanna watch the story.

- If you want to see the story,

you would need something to cut the ropes.

And I do not see anything like that around here.

- Wow, hey!

Maybe we can use one of these to cut the rope!

Let's think.

Should Elmo choose a pair of scissors, or a pogo stick

to cut the rope?

(children laugh)

- [Kid] A pogo stick?

- Did somebody say Pogo stick?

I love pogo sticks!

They are so fun and bouncy!

(everyone laughs)

(Grover yells)

I am okay!

- [Kid] Pogo sticks can't cut rope!

- [Child] Let's use the scissors!

- Yeah!

Great idea.

Scissors can help cut things.

(piano music)

- [Children] Yay!

- It worked!

Great job!

On with the story!

- Oh.

Your story is still happening,

which means we are getting closer to the (gulps) monster!

No matter.

I have another idea.

This will stop you from watching.

I am going to nail these boards over the screen

to block our view.

After all, we cannot watch your story

if we cannot see it.

- But Grover, Elmo wants to see what happens in the story.

Do you want to see the story too?

- [Children] Yes!

- [Child] Let's watch the story!

- Sorry Elmo, but you would need something really,

really strong to knock these boards over.

(Elmo laughs)

- Look at these!

Let's think.

Should we choose a wrecking ball or a balloon

to knock over the boards and continue your story?

- Is that a balloon?

Can I see that, Elmo?

- Okay.

- (laughs) I love balloons!

I'm floating away!

- Elmo doesn't think that a balloon

can knock over the boards.

- [Kid] (laughs) Use the wrecking ball!

- [Child] Yeah, the wrecking ball!

(Elmo laughs)

- Okay, Elmo will try the wrecking ball.

Stand back everybody!

(wood clattering)

- [Child] Yeah!

- [Kid] It worked!

- Thanks for your help!

Elmo can't wait to see what happens next.

(Grover yells)

- Oh no, the boards are gone!

Oh, your story is still happening.

which means we are getting closer to the monster!

- But monsters can be friendly, Grover.

- Not to worry, I have one final idea.

(truck beeping)

I shall stop us from watching once and for all!

By building a heavy, solid, brick wall!

- But Grover, how will we know what happens

at the end of the story?

- Sorry, Elmo.

You would need something very, very strong

to knock these bricks over. (chuckles)

- Maybe, we can use one of these to knock down the bricks.

Let's think.

Should we choose a bulldozer (laughs) or a sandwich

to knock down the bricks?

- Did somebody say sandwich?

All this work sure makes me hungry.

Mm, tasty.

- [Child] Use the bulldozer!

- [Kid] Yeah!

A bulldozer is really strong.

- Yeah!

Elmo will try the bulldozer.

(Oscar laughs)

- Yay!

Thanks for your help, Oscar.

- [Kid] Yay, the bulldozer worked!

- My brick wall!

Oh!

Elmo, we are almost at the end of the story.

And I will say it one more time.

There is a monster at the end of the story!

And any minute now, the very,

very scary monster will appear!

The end? (Elmo laughs)

- [Child] Yes, Grover.

It's the end of the story!

- [Kid] We made it.

- Wait, we are at the end of your story?

But the only monster I see is Elmo!

Could it be, the monster at the end of your story is Elmo?

(Elmo laughs)

- Elmo is one of the monsters,

but Elmo sees another monster.

- [Child] It's you, Grover!

- [Kid] Grover's the monster!

- Huh?

I am!

(laughs) You were right, Elmo!

- (chuckles) Grover.

- And you were so worried about the monster

at the end of your story.

- [Children] Yay!

(Elmo laughs) (Child laughs)
