Oh.
Let's see who it's from.
[LAUGHS]
Elmo's got email from his friend Abby Cadabby.
ABBY: Hi, Elmo.
I'm here with my new friend, Miri Bin-Ari.
MIRI BIN-ARI: Hello, Elmo.
ABBY: And she plays the violin.
[SIGHS]
Um, Miri, what's a violin?
MIRI BIN-ARI: This is a violin, Abby.
See?
It's a musical instrument that has strings.
And I love to play it.
ABBY: You play that?
How?
MIRI BIN-ARI: Well, you move the bow over the strings and
the violin makes music.

ABBY: [GIGGLES]
That sounds like magic.
MIRI BIN-ARI: Not really.
I'll show you.
ABBY: OK.

ABBY: Oh.
Wow.
That sounded like magic to me.
Oh, Miri, do you think I could play the violin?
Huh?
MIRI BIN-ARI: I think you can, if you learn how to play it
and if you practice a lot.
ABBY: [GIGGLES]
Oh, maybe I'll learn one day.
Now all I know is my trick.
MIRI BIN-ARI: What's your trick?
ABBY: Oh, uh, it's this.

Frumpkin, tumpkin, ibidy-obity pumpkin!
[GIGGLES]
So, uh, Miri, can you play the pumpkin?
MIRI BIN-ARI: I think I can.
Let me try.
ABBY: Hey, uh, bye, Elmo.
MIRI BIN-ARI: Bye, Elmo.
[PUMPKIN SQUEAKING]
MIRI BIN-ARI: Oh.
ABBY: Yep.
Catchy.
ELMO: Ah.
[LAUGHS]
Thanks, computer.
Thanks.
