SCENE 1 | Sam the Robot wants to play, but Susan says he can't jump rope since he doesn't have feet, Big Bird says he'll break the rope swing since he's too heavy, and Bob tells him he sings like a railroad train when he tries to join in with him and Luis. He tells his woes to Oscar the Grouch, who recommends they instead not do all the things Sam can't - by just sitting there. |
