It was a busy day on Sesame Street. Everyone was preparing for the big art show.
Zachary Chase Arnold, age 4, from Avant, Oklahoma, was coming to judge the
show. Zachary was bringing Mommy, Daddy, MahMahs, Nanny and Scottie Jo to help him. The best artist would get a bright blue ribbon.
"Hurry everyone!" Big Bird called. Zachary will be here any minute."
Finally, Zachary arrived with Mommy, Daddy, MahMahs, Nanny and Scottie Jo . Big Bird was so happy to see Zachary that he gave him a warm hug and welcomed everyone to Sesame Street.
After pointing out all the wonderful sights on Sesame Street, Big Bird explained that the
judging was about to begin!
"First stop is Oscar's trash can," he said.
Oscar had made a most unusual sculpture out of some things he'd found in the trash.
Zachary was very impressed. But Oscar thought he had a little more work to do, so he
searched through his can for the finishing touch. As trash came flying out of the can,
Zachary spotted the perfect piece -- a flattened flugel horn.
"Wow, that's trashy!" said Oscar. "That should do it! Thanks, Zachary."
Next, they visited Cookie Monster. He had made a giant picture of a cookie. Zachary could
practically taste the scrumptious-looking treat.
"That is the best cookie I've ever seen," declared Zachary.
"Mmmm, Zachary right. Cookie!" Cookie Monster said as he took a large bite out of his
picture.
Zachary giggled. "Now it's perfect," he said.
Ernie and Bert waved Mommy, Daddy, MahMahs, Nanny and Scottie Jo over to see their baseball mural.
They had painted a grass-green baseball diamond covered with bats and gloves. Bert
paced back and forth nervously. Ernie tossed a ball to Zachary.
"Nice catch, Zachary," he said.
Next, Zachary walked over to Zoe, who was sadly holding up an empty frame. "I didn't
finish my painting," Zoe sighed.
"Look at your smock," Zachary said with a big smile. "It's as beautiful as any painting I've
ever seen!"
Zoe quickly took off her smock and hung it inside the frame. Then she blew Zachary a big
kiss! "Thanks, Zachary!"
Big Bird guided the judges over to the Count's display of numbers. The Count had carved
several giant numbers out of wood and painted them in different patterns -- delightful
dots, cheeky checks, and stupendous stripes.
"One, two, three, four, five, six. Six super numbers." Zachary counted out loud and the
Count applauded. Zachary smiled and followed Big Bird down Sesame Street.
"Hey, Elmo," called Big Bird. "Are you ready for our judges?"
Elmo pulled aside a curtain to reveal a large picture made up of tiny, brightly colored
triangles.
"Wow," said Zachary, "I've never seen so many triangles in one place before!"
"Elmo made it especially for Telly," Elmo explained. "Telly loves triangles."
"Well, Zachary," Big Bird said. "It's time for you to pick the winner."
Zachary groaned and plopped down on a bench facing Big Bird. "I'm in trouble, Big Bird.
All the paintings are so great! How will I ever pick a winner?"
Big Bird shook his head sadly. "I wish I could help. Too bad there's only one blue
ribbon."
Zachary jumped up. "That's it, Big Bird. You're a genius!"
"I am?" Big Bird smiled happily.
Zachary ran inside Mr. Hooper's store. He came back out holding a handful of blue ribbons.
"Everybody's a winner on Sesame Street!" Zachary shouted.
"Hurray!" Big Bird said. "Let's have a party to celebrate."
"I'd love to stay," Zachary said. "But I have to get back to Avant, Oklahoma,
along with Mommy, Daddy, MahMahs, Nanny and Scottie Jo ."
"Well, don't forget to come back and judge our dance contest," said Ernie.
"I won't," called Zachary, as he waved good-bye to all his friends on Sesame Street.
