SCENE 1 | Luis informs Big Bird and Rosita that Maria’s aunt, Tía Lola (Graciela Lecube), has arrived from Puerto Rico. Big Bird calls over Mr. Handford to meet her but he claims he’s busy... until he sees her and is smitten. Big Bird tries communicating with Tía Lola only to learn that her English is not very good. As the grown-ups help her get settled and go back to work, Big Bird and Rosita have noticed how Mr. Handford and Tía Lola seem to really like each other and begin scheming on how to get them together. Rosita recalls how her grandfather won her grandmother over: by playing a song outside her window while playing the guitar. They decide they need to write him a song. |
