Overview:
Telly excitedly runs to Abby and Elmo to tell them he has the book theyβve been waiting for, How to be a Knight for a Day. Hooray! Telly, Abby and Elmo look to the book to tell them how to become knights. First, they have to wear a suit of shining armor. They zip off and whoosh! Elmo, Abby and Telly are dressed in suits of armor. Clank! Clank! Clank! Next, they must sing a knight song, so they sing, βWe Are Three Knights So Merry.β Then the book tells them they must go on a quest. But they donβt know what to search for! As Elmo, Telly, and Abby think about their quest, they hear a whimpering letter βY.β When they ask the letter βYβ why he is crying, he tells them he is unsure of his purpose in life. He canβt think of any words that begin with the βYβ sound. Thatβs it! Telly decides their quest will be to look for things that begin with the letter βY.β First, they enter Ginaβs veterinarian office looking for animals that begin with the letter βY.β Then they decide to check the laundromat but they still canβt find any βYβ words. Next, they visit Alan at Hooperβs store. Just as they are about to leave, they see a hairy cow passing, but are disappointed because hairy cow doesnβt begin with a βY.β But wait! Alan explains that the hairy cow is actually a yak, and yak begins with βy.β All of the sudden, Abby, Elmo, and Telly think of other words that begin with the letter βY,β such as yogurt and yo-yo. They did it! They found words that begin with the letter βY.β Elmo, Abby and Telly sing the knight song and cheer in delight!
