SCENE 1 | Celina welcomes the viewer and tries to tease the sponsors, but Telly and Baby Bear interrupt; they want to announce them. They claim they like to do things together, since they're best friends and they like the same things. Telly uses triangles as an example, but finds Baby Bear doesn't love them the way he does. They become distraught that they can't love the same things until the triangles' three sides and corners remind Baby Bear of the three members of his famous family, and he becomes a fan. Baby Bear, though, learns that Telly not only doesn't like porridge, but hasn't even tried it. He invites him to his house to try some, made specially by Mama Bear. |
