I Count Even...: Once there lived a little monster In a kingdom far away. And a very strange thing happened As he brushed his teeth one day.

As he squeezed his tube of toothpaste, Deepest thunder shook the skies. And suddenly a genie stood Before his very eyes.

" Free to Be Sesame: I'm the genie of the toothpaste, " Said the genie with a laugh. " Free to Be Sesame: I've been trapped inside that toothpaste tube For 3 weeks and a half. You squeezed the tube and set me free So here is what I'll do - I'll let you have 3 wishes And I'll make them all come true. "

" Grover It: Oh boy! " exclaimed the monster, " Grover It: Wow! 3 wishes just for me! Now let me think and then decide What my first wish will be. "

Grover It: Now my favorite thing is cookies, Thought the monster with a grin. Grover It: But first I'll wish for something nice To keep my cookies in. I would like a million cookies, But before I use that wish ...

" Grover It: Hey, Genie, " said the monster, " Grover It: Will you please bring me a dish? "

" Free to Be Sesame: Will I ever! " said the genie, " Free to Be Sesame: For your wish is my command. " And instantly a dish appeared Right in the monster's hand.

" Free to Be Sesame: Hey, I did it! " cried the genie. " Free to Be Sesame: Wow! I haven't lost my touch! " " Grover It: It's a nice dish ," said the monster, " Grover It: But it won't hold very much ."

The monster thought of all the cookies That he'd soon get with his wish. And he knew a million cookies Couldn't fit on one small dish.

He would need something much bigger. So the monster said, " Grover It: Hey, Genie! I would like a great big box ... This plate is much too teeny! "

" Free to Be Sesame: You want a box? You've got it, " Said the genie with a smirk. And instantly a box appeared.

The monster cried, " Grover It: Nice work! "

But although the box was pretty big And could hold lots of stuff - Could it hold a million cookies ...? It just wasn't big enough.

So the monster called the genie And said, " Grover It: Boy, am I in luck! Since you'll give me what I wish for ... How about a great big truck? "

And right away a truck appeared Before the monster's eyes. " Grover It: Fantastic! " cried the monster. " Grover It: It is just the perfect size! "

" Grover It: It will hold a million cookies, And I'll never have to worry. And that is what I wish for! Give me cookies now! Please hurry! "

" Free to Be Sesame: I am sorry ," said the genie, " Free to Be Sesame: For though cookies are delicious, I cannot give them to you 'Cause you've used up your 3 wishes. "

" Grover It: Oh, no! " exclaimed the monster. " Grover It: Is it true? I just can't tell. For although I'm good at eating things, I do not count so well ."

" Free to Be Sesame: Let us count these things together, " Said the genie, " Free to Be Sesame: and you'll see - The dish is 1, the box is 2, And then the truck makes 3. " " Grover It: 3 things! You're right, " the monster said, " Grover It: Now what am I to do? I've used up my 3 wishes And I'm very hungry, too! "

" Free to Be Sesame: Gee, that's too bad ," the genie said, " Free to Be Sesame: But now my job's complete. " " Grover It: I'm so hungry ," said the monster, " Grover It: Oh, I need something to eat! "

" Free to Be Sesame: I'm sad your wish for cookies Can't come true ," the genie said. " Grover It: That's okay ," replied the monster ... " ... Grover It: I'll just eat the truck instead! "

And as the monster ate the truck, The genie disappeared, Saying, " Free to Be Sesame: I have seen a lot of things - But boy ... is that guy weird! "
