	COLD OPEN	While tap-dancing, Savion gives some previews of what will be seen today (a phony alligator, a monster playing with a doll, and a song about computers), as well as introduces Adam who is pretending to be "Captain Cooperation" today.
	SCENE 1	Lillian welcomes the viewer to her home day care. She, the kids (including Adam), Telly, and Baby Bear act out a story about a king who had a really big piece of paper, and everyone had conflicting ideas about what to do with it.

When the story is over it's time to clean up, but Adam runs off!
