My friend and I here are going to show you a

little bit about eating.

COOKIE MONSTER: Hi.

ERNIE: Now, in a few moments, he is going to give you an

actual demonstration of how to use the

knife, fork, and spoon.

COOKIE MONSTER: Now, now eat, huh, right?

ERNIE: No, no, no, not yet.

Not yet.

In, a few moments, I said, remember?

OK, now the first thing we're going to talk about

is the knife, OK?

Now, see this?

This is a knife.

COOKIE MONSTER: Knife.

ERNIE: Now, you use the knife to do things

like cutting meat.

COOKIE MONSTER: Meat, eat, eat, eat.

ERNIE: No, no, no, no.

I didn't say, eat.

I said meat.

COOKIE MONSTER: Oh.

ERNIE: OK.

Now, you use the knife to cut the meat.

You also use a knife to spread things like butter--

COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, butter.

ERNIE: --or jelly--

COOKIE MONSTER: --or jelly--

ERNIE: And peanut butter--

COOKIE MONSTER: --peanut butter--

ERNIE: --on your bread.

COOKIE MONSTER: Um.

ERNIE: OK?

COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, yeah.

ERNIE: That's the use of the knife.

COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, knife, knife.

ERNIE: Now, the next thing is the fork.

COOKIE MONSTER: Fork.

ERNIE: And here is a fork.

COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.

ERNIE: Now, you can tell it's a fork, because it's got these

four little pointy things on the ends of it, see.

COOKIE MONSTER: Oh.

ERNIE:

See?

Now that's what a fork is.

Now, you use a fork to pick up things like meat.

COOKIE MONSTER: Meat, eat, eat, eat, eat.

ERNIE: See?

No, no, no, no, I didn't say eat.

I said meat.

You use a fork to pick up the meat.

You use it also to pick up vegetables.

COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, vegetables.

ERNIE: See?

And you also use the fork to hold the meat still while

you're cutting it with your knife.

COOKIE MONSTER: Oh.

ERNIE: Isn't that neat?

COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.

ERNIE: See that?

COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.

ERNIE: OK.

Now, then, that is the knife and fork.

COOKIE MONSTER: Knife and fork.

ERNIE: You can hold those--

COOKIE MONSTER: Thank you.

ERNIE: --now while we talk about the spoon.

COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, spoon.

ERNIE: Now, look at the spoon.

And notice the spoon has this clever

little bowl shape there.

COOKIE MONSTER: How clever.

ERNIE: There, you see?

And we use the spoon to scoop

up things like soup--

COOKIE MONSTER: Soup.

ERNIE: --and gravy.

COOKIE MONSTER: Gravy.

ERNIE: --and other things that don't fit very

well on your fork.

COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah.

ERNIE: OK?

COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, spoon.

ERNIE: Now here is the spoon.

COOKIE MONSTER: Thank you.

ERNIE: And--

COOKIE MONSTER: Now eat, eat, eat.

ERNIE: No, no, no, no.

Wait a second, just one more second.

COOKIE MONSTER: No.

ERNIE: Now, as we said before, we're now going to have an

actual demonstration of how to use the knife, fork, and spoon

for eating.

COOKIE MONSTER: Yeah, yeah.

ERNIE: Now, are you sure you know how to use them?

COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, I know how, I know how.

ERNIE: OK, you may go ahead and eat.

COOKIE MONSTER: OK.

Knife, spoon, fork.

One, two, three, go.
