Kermit the frog here, and this is a mystery box.

You see, if anybody can guess from the clues I give what is

in this box, then they can keep what is in the box.

COOKIE MONSTER: Is it cookie?

KERMIT: No, it is not a cookie.

COOKIE MONSTER: Bye bye.

KERMIT: But wait a second, Cookie Monster.

COOKIE MONSTER: What?

COOKIE MONSTER: Who care about clues without cookie?

Me want cookie.

No cookie, no guessing game from clues.

Arrivederci, Frog.

friends who love cookies, friends who love cookies so

just maybe a frog, a very handsome frog who has cookie

will give best, best friend who no can live without

cookies, give that best friend a cookie.

But if friendship mean nothing--

KERMIT: I only had one cookie.

COOKIE MONSTER: OK.

In that case, me settle.
