SCENE 1 | Uncle Wally emerges from his apartment, dressed in overalls and a straw hat. He tells David about how he used to be a farmer and the longing for those days inspired him to purchase a small plot of land. David, having helped out on his grandmother's farm, offers to help but Uncle Wally declines. His plot of land turns out to be a small box of dirt in front of 123 Sesame Street, which Wally says has the feel of a farm to him. David observes, "Uncle Wally may not have a big farm, but he has a big imagination." |
