SCENE 1 | Big Bird welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street, and tries to remember today's letter. He's prepared to piece together a circle and a tail on the wall to make the letter, but he puts them together in different ways that don't look right. He then decides to throw the tail away and talk about the letter O. The tail jumps out of the wastebasket and makes its way to the O, forming the letter Q. |
