SCENE 3 | Cookie Monster has just eaten several boxes of cookies at Hooper's Store. He asks for more, but David denies him on the grounds of needing to keep some in stock for other customers.
When a cow (Caroll Spinney) approaches the counter, David is so fascinated by there being a cow on Sesame Street, that he says everything in the store is on the house: candy, ice cream soda, cookies, etc. Cookie Monster overhears the offer and gets an idea. Upon request, David feeds the cow some hay. When he turns to Cookie Monster to share his fascination with feeding a cow, Cookie has vacated the premises. |
