COLD OPEN | As Big Bird announces some of today's sponsors, a cow passes by playing a harmonica. Big Bird is amazed, and follows the cow. |
 |
SCENE 1 | Big Bird compliments the cow's talent, and the cow (Louise Gold) confirms with him that she's the only harmonica-playing cow he's ever seen - something original. She happens to be the sister of the cow who jumped over the moon, and like her famous sister, she wants her own nursery rhyme based on something only she can do. She wonders if the harmonica is her calling, or whether she should make funny faces, or race around like a train... |
