9/11 and the letter H
"Sesame Street" is the best television to watch today.
It says far more about people, diversity, New York City, and compassion than any news program about 9/11.
Today's letter is H.
H is for Hola: "hola," "hola" "hola," all the kids are saying as they walk by Elmo, sitting on a brick wall. But Elmo doesn't understand what they are saying until Maria explains that the word means hello. Elmo, first sad that he has no one to say his new word to, then looks right at the camera and says "hola" to everyone - a melting pot of an audience - watching the show.
H is for heroics: a little cartoon character hidden by the huge fireman's hat he's wearing, then saved by another cartoonish character who turns a big fireman's hose on him to wash the hat away.
H is for hungry: Cookie Monster proudly showing off a chocolate chip cookie with an icing H.
And H is for hope.
