SCENE 1 | Micki welcomes the viewer to the Sesame Street library. Forgetful Jones walks in with a paper bag, saying it's to help him remember why he's come. Micki observes that the bag contains bananas, peanuts, and hay. Forgetful assumes he's there to feed some animals, but Micki tells him that they have books about animals instead. Forgetful recalls that this is what he came for, and that he isn't the one looking for a book - it's his horse Buster, who comes in asking Forgetful if he's found one yet. |
