Herry yells for all the traffic to keep it down, and the car noises immediately cease! He does the same when he hears a boat whistle and a passing jet plane - he even gets the ambient noises of Sesame Street to completely stop! Herry decides to join them in taking a nap and settles onto a nearby fence, but his loud snoring keeps everybody awake. |
