  |
SCENE 1 | Herry Monster observes from his room window how everybody seems to be doing something on Sesame Street today. He wants to join in on the fun, and asks Bob if he can partake in his and the kids' game of "Kick the Can." Bob declines, and Herry believes that they might think he'll kick the can too far. He decides to play by himself and finds another can to play with -- Oscar's trash can, to be precise (with Oscar in tow). |
