   |
SCENE 1 | Gordon encounters a stranger (Jim Martin) with three sheep, which he says belong to Little Bo Peep according to one of their collar tags. Gordon hasn't seen her anywhere, but assumes that she isn't hard to find: he says that she was depicted in Miles' book as a little girl with pretty hair and wearing a pretty dress. The stranger then goes off to look for such a person and finds Prairie Dawn in the yard, reading a book. He assumes she's Little Bo Peep since she matches the description and leaves the sheep with her, even though she keeps insisting she's not. The sheep (Joey Mazzarino, Peter Linz, and Carmen Osbahr) clamor around her, which bothers her greatly. |
