SCENE 1 | Forgetful Jones needs David's help in remembering what he came to buy from Hooper's Store. Forgetful has some clues to help the two out, namely a big pile of his cookware (even the kitchen sink). David helps Forgetful realize that he came to the store to get some dish soap. Forgetful isn't sure now how to get all the items back home, then remembers he had help from Buster the Horse. David doesn't think Buster is strong enough to pull a wagon full of these things. Instead, a pick-up truck backs in with Buster at the wheel. | |
