SCENE 1 | Gordon, Susan, Elmo, and Telly Monster are going to cooperate and make up a story one word at a time, which Oscar scoffs at. Barkley seems to derail the proceedings by barking, but Susan incorporates his barks into the story any way. The story, transcribed by Susan, briefly tells of a farm where everyone barked. Oscar tells them all to scram and finds the idea of a barking farm silly. Suddenly, a barking farmer and his various barking animals pass by. |
