The Monster's Three Wishes

Bob read this story, in which Cookie Monster brushes his teeth one day and let's a genie out of his toothpaste. The Genie rewards Cookie Monster with three wishes. Cookie Monster wants a million cookies, but first wants something to carry the cookie in. he wishes for a truck, and get's a toy truck that can hardly carry a million cookies. He then wishes for a bigger truck, but only get's a slightly bigger toy truck. Finally, he wishes for the biggest truck, which is a full-size truck, but he no longer has any more wishes left, so he eatsa the truck.

This sketch was adapted as a story in The Sesame Street Library.

This sketch was also included on various albums, with Herbert Birdsfoot as the narrarator and oscar the Grouch portraying the genie. In the album version, Cookie Monster wished for boxes instead of trucks.
