SCENE | Baby Bear and Telly welcome the viewer to Sesame Street. They have decided to use their imaginations to write a story together, but have a hard time agreeing on what their story should be about.

  |
SCENE, cont'd | At that moment, Maria arrives and tries to break up the fight. She suggests that they could each write their own story by themselves. Baby Bear decides that that is their only option since he and Telly cannot work together. |
 |
SCENE, cont'd | After trying to write their own stories, Baby Bear and Telly can’t do it by themselves and miss each other. Maria suggests that they could write a story about both their ideas.

  |
SCENE, cont'd | Suddenly a magic triangular porridge bowl appears. He informs the king that he is a magic triangular bowl filled with scrumptious porridge of Dum Diddley Dum Diddley Do. He says in rhyme that as much as the king eats, the bowl will never be empty. |
