Well, I never.

-Oh, Mr Harvey P Dull!

-Oh, Elmo.

Sorry, Mr Harvey P Dull,

Elmo was just practising hiding.

Oh. But why?

Well, because, Mr Dull,

the World Championship Hide and Seek Tournament

is being held here at The Furchester Hotel.

-And Seeky Suki is coming.

-Right.

And she is the best hide and seek seeker in the world.

BELL RINGS

-Oh, Seeky Suki!

-I have found you.

We welcome you with furry arms.

Hiya!

Is it true that Seeky Suki

is the best seeker in the world?

Well, let's see.

Oh, there she goes.

Let me see. Ah! Found you.

-But I wasn't even hiding!

-Oh, boy.

Hm. Going to find someone else now. I can...

HISSING

I can hear you. Found you!

Super! Blah-la-la-la-la!

-Wow, Seeky Suki can find anybody.

-I can.

Elmo and Phoebe are going to have to practise hiding.

-Yeah!

-Well, you know,

we could have a practice game

before the competition begins.

You hide and I will seek.

-Oh, yes, please, Suki!

-Yeah, Elmo loves hiding!

Here we go. One...two...three...

four...five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Coming ready or not.

You've got to be here somewhere, Elmo. Oh, found you.

Oh, how did Seeky Suki find Elmo?

Well, you've always got to hide behind

-something bigger than you are.

-Yeah.

-Oh, found you, Phoebe.

-How?

You're not even upstairs.

It was your ponytail. It was sticking right up.

You always need to make sure every bit of you stays hidden.

Boy, Seeky Suki knows everything about hide and seek.

Oh, you just need to keep practising, Elmo.

I know, let's play again.

One, two, three,

four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Coming, ready or not.

This is going to be so easy. Oh.

Oh.

Elmo seems to have found a much better place this time.

Elmo's hiding under the cushions.

Found you, Elmo.

Oh, come on! Again? That's the second time you've found Elmo.

Never make a sound when you're hiding,

-especially not to tell me where you're hiding.

-Excellent tip, Suki.

-FEEDBACK

-Attention, guests.

The World Championship Hide and Seek Games will be starting soon.

How's Elmo going to find a good enough hiding place

for the big contest?

Boy, Elmo really wants to win.

Oh, this is a big problem.

But don't worry, Elmo.

When we put our furry heads together,

we can solve any problem.

Oh, I know, didn't Seeky Suki give you some hiding tips, Elmo?

Oh, yeah-heh-heh-heh!

Er...but Elmo doesn't remember them.

Oh, well, the first one was only hide behind things bigger than you.

-Oh, right.

-Right. Oh, and the second one was

-make every bit of you stay hidden.

-Hidden.

And the last one was never make a sound when you're hiding.

Fuzzawubba! That gives me a monster idea.

Why don't you think back to all those tips

-when you're looking for a good place to hide?

-Ah-ha-ha!

Welcome to the World Championship Hide and Seek Games.

I want a good, clean hide

and Isabel will ding when a hider is found.

BELL RINGS

Let the hide and seek begin!

-OK, here we go.

-So when do me hide?

Where am I going to hide?

Aha!

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Is this a good hiding spot?

Elmo needs to think about the hiding tips.

Hm.

You should always hide behind things bigger than you are.

Ah-ha-ha-ha! Cool.

No, the hat stand is not bigger than Elmo,

so Elmo shouldn't hide here.

Let's see. Er...

Six, seven, eight, nine, ten.

Ready or not, I'm coming!

Oh, found you.

Oh, man!

BELL RINGS We welcome you with furry arms.

-Found you.

-Oh, bother! That's how I got caught last year. Oh!

BELL RINGS

Oh-ho-ho! Hey! What about behind these curtains?

Erm...is this a good place for Elmo to hide?

Boy, what was the second tip? Elmo needs to remember.

-You always need to make sure every bit of you stays hidden.

-Oh, right.

Let's see.

Wait a minute.

Elmo can't hide behind the curtain,

cos Elmo's feet stick out.

-I see you up there.

-BELL RINGS

Oh!

-There you are.

-BELL RINGS

OK. Now, where...

Me can't wait any longer.

Cookie! Om-nom! Oh! Om-nom!

-Oh! Ah-ah! Oh! Nom-nom!

-Found you.

BELL RINGS

Now, let's see.

Where can Elmo hide?

Where can Elmo...?

Hey! Oh, yeah!

This tablecloth is bigger than Elmo, so it will cover all of Elmo.

I'm going to hide under here.

Wait, what was the last tip that Elmo had to remember?

-Never make a sound when you're hiding.

-Oh, yeah!

Oh, right. Elmo shouldn't make a sound while Elmo is hiding.

Found you, Phoebe.

BELL RINGS

-Found you.

-Oh!

ALL CHATTER

Found all you monsters. Found you.

Found you. Oh!

-Found you.

-Biscuits!

BELL RINGS

Come on, Furgus, I found you fair and square. Come on.

Wait, that means everyone's been found except Elmo.

-Ooh!

-Elmo!

Does that mean that Elmo's won?

Well, it does now because I just found you.

Yeah, but I wasn't hiding!

Elmo is the winner of the World Championships Hide and Seek Games.

Elmo, come out, come out, wherever you are.

Oh, boy, oh, boy, oh, boy!

Yeah! Elmo did it!

Elmo remembered all of Suki's hiding tips

and found the perfect spot to hide - under the table.
