 	COLD OPENING 	What's the Word on the Street?: mailMeaning: Miscellaneous forms of packages, envelopes, everything.
 	STREET STORY 	Telly, Maria and Gabi welcome the viewer to Sesame Street. Gabi is writing postcards to her grandparents in New Mexico, and her abuela in Puerto Rico. The postcards already have the addresses on them, but need postage stamps. Telly observes how Gabi wets one side of the stamp with a sponge, and sticks it on the corner of her postcard. Gabi asks Telly if he would like to try, and though he nervously declines at first, with help from Maria, he successfully places a stamp on one of Gabi's postcards. Telly becomes eager to put stamps on everything and declares himself, "Telly Monster, Stamp Putter-Onner!"In the yard, Telly perfects his technique of wetting and putting on postage stamps, with the idea that everyone on Sesame Street will come to him so he can put postage stamps on their mail. Telly then imagines putting stamps on letters and packages from Chris, Gordon & Gina and other people formed in a line. Maria doubts that Telly's plan is going to work the way he expects it to, but Telly realizes that he doesn't have a sign and rushes off.Telly now has a sign that reads "Postage Stamps, Put On Here," and envisions putting stamps on mail from people all over the world. Maria is still skeptical that his idea will work, but then, a random person (Fran Brill) comes by and reads Telly's sign. However, she states that she doesn't need help putting postage stamps on, but was most interested in reading his sign. Telly begins to mope, but luckily, Gabi and Maria suggest that Telly can write them and put postage stamps on every one he writes. Telly decides to give it a try, first writing to his mom. He becomes enthralled, and proceeds to write postcards to his Uncle Norman and Aunt Gladys.
