SCENE 1 | David and his Grandma are with a Honker, who has a pile of numbers. The Honker honks wildly, but they don't know what he's saying. Big Bird understands "honk" and translates - he wants to play "honk and seek," in which he honks a number of times, everyone counts, then finds the right number in his pile. After a few turns, the Honker asks Grandma to be "it," so she tries her best to honk too, but finds that the Honker wants to play the game again and again and again... | |
