SCENE 1 | Benny Rabbit makes his way downtown via the park when a nearby plant speaks to him. The plant introduces himself as Stinky the Stinkweed, and makes it known that he feels very lonely in his lot in the park. Benny relents and offers to stay and play with him, so Stinky sings a round of "Three of These Things" using himself and the three, non-sentient plants by him. Benny is guilted into staying some more, so Stinky starts the game again. |

Since neither provide any positive reactions, Stinky finally settles to join Benny in a trip downtown. |
