SCENE 2 | Lillian encounters Elmo and Big Bo Peep crying over the lost sheep. Bo Peep is worried that if he goes off to find them, the sheep might come into the yard while he's not there, so Lillian suggests that Elmo look for the sheep while Bo Peep stays where he is. Bo Peep gives Elmo a picture of his "all-star travelling sheep" (who all wear matching red caps), and Elmo goes off. Bo Peep then cries because he's a stranger around Sesame Street, so Lillian volunteers to help him around. He starts to tell a joke to break the ice, only to start crying again when he remembers that the sheep love the joke. |

Meanwhile, outside the Fix-it Shop, four of the sheep gather around the work bench and realize they're lost. Luckily one of the sheep has brought a map of Sesame Street, so they can find their way around. While they look at the map, Elmo passes by without seeing them (as the map is obstructing his view). |
