[applause]

(female narrator) Brr! It’s a blustery day here in Capital Town.

The wind is so strong.

It’s blowing the leaves off the trees.

I wonder what’s happening in Capital Castle?

Shall we take a look and see?

Look, there’s U Monster holding his umbrella.

H Monster is trying to hold on to his hat.

Oh, no,

the ABC Monsters are being blown all over Alphabet Garden.

The wind is too strong for them.

One of the ABC Monsters could easily be blown away,

and we’d never know.

We better check that everyone is here.

(narrator) And with a wave of Cherry Berry’s Jester Stick,

all the ABC Monsters line up in alphabetical order.

Let’s sing along to the ABC song and help

Alice find the missing letter.

(all) ♪ A, B, C, D, E, F, G

♪ H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P

♪ Q, R, S, T, U, V

♪ W, X, Y, and Z

(narrator) One of the ABC Monsters is missing.

Can you guess which one?

(Cherry Berry) U, V...X, Y.

Hmm. Oh, I know.

(narrator) That’s right.

The missing letter is W.

W Monster is missing.

He must have been blown away in the wind.

We must find W Monster.

I know.

Let’s look in the ABC book.

The clue says...

(Cherry Berry) Hey, the ABC book

is telling us to go southeast.

Southeast is over there.

Then what are we waiting for?

Let’s go.

(Alice) We need to find some white material

that can make sweaters.

(narrator) Suddenly, something white and fluffy bounded past.

Look over there.

(narrator) Can you guess what it is?

It’s a sheep.

Yes, and it’s white.

Let’s follow it.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry

followed the sheep through the woods

until it came to a small wooden cabin.

Look over there, Brian.

I recognize this house.

It belongs to Wanda-- Wanda, the weaver.

What’s a weaver?

A weaver is someone who weaves thread like cotton

and wool into material.

The material is then made into clothes.

That’s why the sheep is visiting Wanda.

Wool comes from sheep.

Hello, everyone.

What are you doing here?

We’re looking for our friend W Monster.

He went missing from Alphabet Garden today.

Have you seen him?

Yes, he was here a short time ago.

I can even give you a clue to help you find him.

Brilliant.

But first, I need your help with something.

What do you need us to do, Wanda?

I’m going to be making some nice, warm, wooly sweaters

for the winter,

but I need to know if I have enough white wool.

I need you to count all the white ba*ls of wool

in that basket over there.

Don’t worry, Wanda.

We’ll count them for you.

(narrator) Can you help Alice, Brian,

and Cherry Berry count the white ba*ls of wool?

Remember, we only want the white ba*ls of wool.

One...

two...

three...

Oh, dear!

That’s not white, is it?

That is a blue ball of wool.

Four...

five...

six.

Well done.

You found all of them.

Six white ba*ls of wool.

One, two, three,

four, five, six.

Thank you for sorting out my white wool.

Now, I’ll be able to make some white, wooly sweaters.

Wool--of course, wool is the answer to the clue.

It fits.

As a special thank you,

I’ll make each of you a nice, warm sweater.

(all) Thank you, Wanda.

But first, here’s a clue to help you find W Monster.

I hope you manage to find W Monster soon.

Thank you, Wanda.

(narrator) And so Alice, Brian,

and Cherry Berry waved good-bye to Wanda the weaver

and continued on their quest.

I’m feeling very confident about the next clue.

The clue has a picture

of the Capital Town’s wishing well,

and I know exactly where it is.

Where?

I’ll show you.

It’s over there.

Now we need to find Wendy the window cleaner.

(narrator) Can you help find Wendy the window cleaner?

[barking]

(Alice) There she is.

(narrator) Well done. You found Wendy.

Hello, Wendy.

What’s happened here?

A dog has just knocked over my bucket,

and now the water’s tipped all over the floor.

How will I be able to clean Miss Wellington’s window?

Don’t worry, Wendy.

- We can help. - Yes.

We can fetch you some more water from the wishing well.

(narrator) The wishing well is full of water.

Brian needs your help to get it.

Can you help him turn the handle like this?

Here we go.

[cheerful music]

♪

The bucket has reached the bottom of the well

and is filling up with water.

Brian now needs your help turning the handle again.

Only this time,

we have to turn the handle in the opposite direction.

Are you ready?

The bucket is very heavy with water.

Brian needs you to help him turn that handle.

Come on, everybody.

Heave.

Heave. Heave.

Well done, everybody.

You helped Brian get the water from the well.

You found some water for me. Thank you.

I’ll be able to finish cleaning Miss Wellington’s windows.

Water--that’s it.

Water is the word that we were looking for.

We did it.

We’re another step closer to finding W Monster.

W Monster? Are you looking for him?

Yes, he’s gone missing from Alphabet Garden.

I think I can help you.

I was talking to him today.

See if you can work out this clue.

I hope that was useful to you.

I’m sure you’ll find W Monster soon.

Thank you, Wendy.

(narrator) Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry waved good-bye

to their friend Wendy the window cleaner

and headed off to Windy Hill.

Wow, I thought it was windy in town,

but Windy Hill sure has some windy wind.

Yes, it’s really hard to walk against it.

If you think walking’s difficult,

trying flying against the wind. Whoa!

Look over there.

It’s a windmill.

Cool.

(narrator) Can you see W Monster yet?

There he is. Well done.

It’s W Monster. We found him.

(all) Hooray!

Hello, everyone.

Have you come to see the windmill too?

It’s very big, but what does it do?

(W Monster) This is Willy Webster’s windmill, Willy A Miller.

The windmill’s sails turn in the wind.

This turns the prop shaft inside the windmill,

which makes the huge millstones turn.

The millstones grind up the wheat grains to make flour.

Once the wheat has been turned into flour,

Willy puts it into sacks

so that it can be transported to the baker to make bread.

Wow, all of that from wind?

Yes, wind can be very useful.

Anyway, I just like watching

the windmill sails turn in the wind.

When I saw how windy it was today,

I just had to come up to Windy Hill

to watch Willy Webster’s windmill.

Wait a minute.

The last clue in the ABC book--

"W Monster is on Windy Hill

watching this."

The answer is windmill.

(Alice) Windmill is the answer to the final clue.

We solved all the puzzles...

Met new friends...

And found W Monster.

(all) Hooray!

(narrator) And so that W Monster wouldn’t miss seeing

his windmill, Cherry Berry had a surprise for him.

(all) Hooray!

I love windy wind.

(narrator) Hello, everyone.

Welcome to ABC Monsters Brainy g*ng,

and say hello to our friends Alice, Brian, and Cherry Berry.

W is a wonderful letter,

and today we’ll all be finding out about it

with the help of the Brainy g*ng’s newest member, W Monster.

Hello, W Monster.

To get the show started,

let’s sing one of W Monster’s favorite songs,

a song that is all about the letter W.

Are you ready?

[cheerful music]

♪

[children laughing]

♪

(narrator) W Monster has got a small windmill on his house.

Here comes Cherry Berry.

Can you work out what letter the windmill has turned into?

That’s right. It’s the letter W. W.

All together now, say it with me.

W. W.

The alphabet spins. [laughs]

Look at W Monster.

He loves things that spin.

Let’s see if you can write the letter W with W Monster.

Have you got your paper and pencil?

Okay then, we’re drawing a big W.

Hey, that’s really good.

Let’s do it again.

A big W. Well done.

A perfect W. Look at W Monster.

He’s very pleased,

because he can now write his favorite letter, W.

Now we know how to write the letter W.

Do you know what this material is?

Here’s a clue:

You get it from sheep,

and you can knit it together to make sweaters or socks.

Shout out the answer if you know.

That’s right.

It’s called wool.

That’s right. Let’s say it one more time.

Okay, here is another puzzle for you to solve.

Can you guess what is inside the class?

It’s clear and wet.

It falls from the sky as rain.

You can find it in the ocean, rivers, and lakes.

But best of all, you can drink it.

That’s right. It’s water.

Now, let’s see what the word water looks like.

You’ve got two of the questions right.

Just one more to go.

Do you think you can solve the final puzzle?

I’m sure you know what this is.

Here’s a clueIt’s large,

and when the wind catches its sails,

they turn round and round.

You use this to grind grain into flour.

Do you know the answer?

That’s right.

It’s called a windmill.

And here’s what the word windmill looks like.

Say it with me.

That’s right.

Let’s say it together one more time.

Can you think of any more wonderful words

that begin with the letter W?

Now, it’s time to get fit and active

with another fun-packed ABC Monster move.

(narrator) Hello, everyone.

Clap your hands in the air if you want to have some fun.

That was fun, wasn’t it?

Now, you’re warmed up.

It’s time to get active with the ABC Monsters.

Today, we’ll be doing the W Monster move.

Watch Brian closely as he shows you what to do.

It’s easy.

If Brian can do it, so can you.

Are you ready?

Here we go.

Use your body to make a big W. That’s it.

That was easy, wasn’t it?

Are you ready to do it again?

A big W--that’s right.

Now you know the move.

We can all do it together.

Are you ready?

One, two, three, four,

two, two, three, four,

and three, two, three, four,

four, two, three, four--

That was easy, wasn’t it?

Let’s see if you can do it again.

Are you ready?

One, two, three, four,

two, two, three, four,

and three, two, three, four,

four, two, three, four--

Brilliant.

You’ve certainly mastered the W Monster move.

Now, let’s take a short break to get your breath back,

because next it’s the ABC Monster quest.

Look, everybody.

It’s Wendy the window cleaner.

A dog has just knocked over my bucket,

and now the water is tipped all over the floor.

How will you clean the windows now, Wendy?

I need to get more water from the well,

but I don’t know how to find it.

Don’t worry, Wendy. We’ll help you.

(narrator) Can you help Wendy find the well

and fill her bucket with water?

Just fill in the box with the correct letter

and help guide Wendy along the path.

Listen carefully to the following letters.

Can you tell me which one fits correctly in the box

to make a word?

Is it W, A, or K?

That’s right.

The correct letter is W.

You’ve correctly worked out the first word,

but can you solve the next puzzle?

Which letter do you think we should put into the box?

Letter B, F,

or is it T?

Right again.

The letter we need to put into the box is T.

Well done.

Now, for the final puzzle.

Do you think you can complete it?

Which letter should we put into the box?

Is it B, M,

or could it be the letter X?

Fantastic.

You’ve picked the correct letter again,

the letter M.

Excellent. Three out of three.

Congratulations.

You’ve successfully guided Wendy to the well.

Thank you, everyone.

(all) Hooray!

(narrator) I hope you’ve enjoyed finding out

about the wonderful letter W.
