"How the King Got His Kazoo" is a Sesame Street story read by Olivia. In the story, a king wants to have a dance and asks his subjects to bring the royal kazoo. The subjects don't listen and instead bring the royal canoe, then shampoo and finally, a zoo (consisting of a bear, a tiger and a camel). One little girl tries listening and successfully brings him his kazoo. He appoints her the Royal Listener, who will listen to the king and tell the rest his requests. (First: Episode 1773)
