SCENE 1 | Telly Monster is going to talk to the viewer about the word information. While he tries to think of how to explain it, various folks use the word while asking Telly some questions: an elderly Muppet man asks where 123 Sesame Street is, Big Bird tells Telly about something interesting in his newspaper, a Muppet reporter inquires who to ask about living in trash cans, and Maria remembers she can look up the library's phone number. Telly gets so distracted that he forgets what he was talking about, and when he remembers, he still can't think of a way to explain the word. |
