Oscar: Let me see. So far, we’ve done A-B-C-D-E-F-G-H-I-J-K-L-M. That’s enough! Let’s go home!

Big Bird: Gosh, Oscar! We’ve got lots of letters to go. The next one is N

So now I shall tell a story that’s filled with words that start with the letter N

Oscar: I don’t want to hear it

Big Bird: Gosh, Oscar! Don’t you want to hear all those N words with the great “nn” sound?

Oscar: No!

Big Bird: Right! “No” is an N word

Oscar: Ugh!

Big Bird: Now, see if you can hear some others, Oscar. Once upon a time, there were nine naughty noodles

Oscar: Nine naughty noodles?

Big Bird: Sure. Now, these nine naughty noodles lived in a nest. And their names were Ned, Nat, Norman, Nathaniel, Nelly, Nan, Nancy, Norma, and Naomi

Oscar: Oh, no

Big Bird: Now, one day, Nora moved into the neighborhood
Oscar: Nora? Another noodle, I suppose

Big Bird: No. Nora was a nectarine

Oscar: Naturally

Big Bird: From Nora, the noodles learned not to be naughty but nice

Oscar: Doesn’t this story ever come to an end?

Big Bird: Ah, you want this story to come to an end?

Oscar: I sure do

Big Bird: O.K. One day, Nora and the noodles went for a walk and found a great huge letter N carved on a stone

Oscar: So?

Big Bird: So you wanted the story to come to an N

Oscar: Oh, no, no, no, no...!
