The Wise Man



The Wise Man' appears in the story of The Man Who Couldn't Sleep (as seen in the video Quiet Time. The Wise Man operates out of a booth (with a Lucy-esque "The Wise Man Is In" sign) and counsels the man who can't sleep (played by Telly Monster). His remedy for the man's problem adjusting to the noise of the wind and the trees is to get a cow. When that only adds to the noise, he tells him to get a turkey. The Wise Man's third suggestion is to get a sheep. The man is justifiably frustrated, but the Wise Man suggests he get rid of all the animals. He does so and can sleep at last.
