SCENE 1 | Big Bird and Ruthie welcome the viewer when they hear sobbing near Finders Keepers. It turns out to be a wolf named Wolfie, who's sad because he cannot howl - a basic trait for any wolf. Ruthie claims she can teach him, showing how well she can do it herself by belting out a piercing, echoing howl. |
