Insert While fixing Big Bird's record player, Luis tells him of a story he's reading about Captain Swashbuckle, a pirate. He tells Big Bird a synopsis of what he's read so far, but Big Bird throws several ideas what happens next, such as Swashbuckle having run-ins with a giant fish and bird. Luis reads him the remainder of the story: Captain Swashbuckle is sailing in a storm, when Luis' phone rings, and he must put the story on hold. Big Bird then thinks up the obvious ending - the bad guys call Swashbuckle and call off the fight because of rain.

SCENE At the Library, Micki tries to find Telly Monster a book to read. He declines books about cowboys, football, and trains, believing that they will be too noisy for a quiet library. Micki explains the book won't make any such noise as what he's reading about will all be in his imagination. Telly quietly begins to read the book about trains, stopping briefly to make sure the only noise he heard was in his head. Maria announces the sponsors.
