Hi, I'm John, and this is...

I said I'm John and this is...

Elmo, you 're supposed to tell everybody who you are.

I'm sorry Mr. John. Elmo can't talk right now. Elmo 's busy making a sculpture.

Oh, well that's perfect Elmo because today 's word is sculpture.

Oh right, sculpture. Oh, tell everyone what a sculpture is, Mr. John.

Okay, I can do that.

A sculpture is a piece of art that 's made by shaping or carving something, or by putting things together.

As you can see, Elmo is carving his sculpture with a hammer and chisel.

Elmo, why don't you show everyone your sculpture?

Oh, Elmo 's not done right now. Maybe Mr. John can show some other sculpture while Elmo finishes.

Other sculptures. Right. I 'll go find some other sculptures.

Found one. Check it out. This sculpture is made of clay.

Someone molded clay, dried it and made this sculpture.

Done yet Elmo?

No, not yet Mr. John. You should show another sculpture.

Another sculpture. Okay, right. I 'll just look around and find another sculpture.

Look at this! I got another sculpture.

But, it 's made out of something different. This sculpture isn't clay.

This sculpture is made out of marble, which is a kind of stone. So it's a bit heavy.

Okay, Elmo! Now, can we see your sculpture?

Almost Mr. John. Show one more sculpture.

One more sculpture, really?

Okay, you know what? Fine. There must be more sculptures laying around. I 'll just go find another sculpture.

Okay, I got one!

This sculpture is made out of something totally different.

This sculpture is made out of pieces of metal. Very, very heavy metal.

Can we please show your sculpture now Elmo? Please, before I get a hernia.

No!

No. No.
