(playful music)

- Oh hi.

Today, Tango is getting some exercise at the park.

Doggies need lots of exercise to stay healthy. (laughs)

(Tango barks)

- Hello cute little Tango.

(Tango barks)

And hello cute, yummy apples.

Mm.

- Oh, that's a good girl, Tango. (giggles)

Oh look, it's Tango's friend, Ziggy.

(Tango barks)

Oh, does Ziggy want Elmo to throw her little, red ball.

(dogs bark)

Okay, Tango, Ziggy, fetch.

(dogs bark)

Hey, where did Ziggy's ball go?

Elmo threw the ball right over here, but now it's gone.

(dogs gasp)

Tango, it's a mystery.

Don't worry Ziggy.

Elmo and Tango will solve the mystery and find Ziggy's ball.

(Tango barks)

Come on puppies, let's investigate.

(Ziggy barks)

- Here?

No.

(Tango barks)

- Hey, there's something red in that bush,

like Ziggy's ball.

Oh, Elmo wonders what if Ziggy's ball bounced into the bush?

Let's try looking.

(Ziggy barks)

Oh, that's red but it's not Ziggy's ball.

- Hey, my balloon.

That's where it went.

Thanks Ziggy.

- Come on puppies, let's keep looking.

We have to solve the mystery.

(Tango barks)

Oh, it's Grover.

And he's juggling balls.

Hm, Elmo wonders what if Grover picked up Ziggy's ball

and started juggling it?

Come on, lets try asking Grover.

(dogs barks)

Hi Grover.

- Hello Elmo, hello Ziggy, hello Tango.

Whoa, whoa.

I am fine.

- Is Grover juggling with a red ball?

- A red ball?

Hmm, let me see.

I have a green ball, an orange ball.

Ah, perhaps this one is red.

Oh no, that is just my cute and adorable nose.

Haha.

- Oh yeah, these balls aren't the right color.

None of them are Ziggy's ball.

This mystery is very mysterious.

But Elmo and Tango can't give up.

Ziggy, we will find your ball.

- Dum de dum dum.

Oh nummy nummy.

(Tango barks)

- Oh Tango, now isn't the time to pick up apples

with Cookie Monster.

We have to solve the mystery.

(Tango barks)

Wait, Cookie Monster is picking up apples

and Ziggy's ball is red like an apple.

So, Elmo wonders what if Cookie Monster

thought Ziggy's ball was an apple and picked it up.

Come on puppies, let's try looking.

(Tango barks)

- Oh, all this apple picking making me hungry.

Me think me going to eat delicious apple snack.

Num, num, num.

Oh.

- Oh, Cookie Monster has Ziggy's ball.

- Ah.

- But he's about to eat it!

Tango, Ziggy, fetch.

(dogs bark)

- Om.

What, oh well.

Om, yom, yom.

(dogs bark)

- Woo-hoo, we did it.

Elmo and Tango solved the mystery.

(Elmo giggles)

Oh, hi.

Today, Elmo got a present in the mail from Elmo's Nana.

(Tango barks)

Elmo, can't wait to open it.

- Hi Elmo.

Hi Tango.

I'm gonna fly my kite.

Wanna come?

- Oh, maybe later Abby.

Elmo's too excited about opening his present.

- All right, well, you know where to find me.

- Okay Tango, ready to open Elmo's present?

(Tango barks)

Ah, good girl Tango, good girl.

(Tango barks)

Here we go, Elmo's present is,

hm, string, two sticks and a piece of cloth.

Hm, boy, Elmo's never gotten a present like this before.

Wait a minute.

Elmo thinks maybe these pieces all go together

to make Elmo's present.

(Tango barks)

But Elmo doesn't know what the pieces are supposed to make.

Tango, it's a mystery.

Come on Tango, let's solve the mystery

and figure out what the pieces make.

We can be engineers.

(Tango groans)

Oh, engineers design and build things.

(Tango barks)

Hmm, hey a flagpole.

Oh, Elmo wonders what if Elmo puts these pieces together

to make his own flagpole.

Come on Tango, let's try it.

Oh, thank you, Tango.

And there, ta-da, it's Elmo's flagpole.

Oh, guess Elmo's present isn't a flagpole after all.

Let's keep thinking, Tango.

We have to solve the mystery.

(Grover snores)

Huh?

Oh look, Grover is sleeping in a hammock.

Elmo wonders what if Elmo puts these pieces

together like this.

Maybe that could make a little hammock for Tango.

Come on Tango, let's try it.

(Tango barks)

And ta-da, it's Tango's doggy hammock.

Go on Tango, give it a try.

(Tango barks)

Oh, guess Elmo's present isn't a hammock either.

(Tango groans)

This mystery is very mysterious,

but we can't give up.

Elmo and Tango have to figure out what these pieces make.

(Abby giggles)

(Tango barks)

Oh Tango, we don't have time to fly a kite with Abby.

We have to solve the mystery, remember.

(Tango barks)

Wait, Abby's kite has two sticks, a piece of cloth

and a string just like Elmo's pieces.

Oh, so Elmo wonders what if Elmo puts the sticks like this

then puts on the cloth and ties on the string.

That will make a kite.

Come on Tango, let's try it.

(Tango barks)

(lighthearted music)

And there, ta-da, it's Elmo's kite.

Come on Tango, let's see if Elmo's kite can fly.

(Tango barks)

Hey, it works.

Elmo's present is a kite.
