Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE	Oscar the Grouch unwelcomes the viewer to Sesame Street. It's his kind of morning, since there's no one around his trash can! His solitude soon disappears with a flash. Abby Cadabby appears and introduces herself: She and her family just moved to Sesame Street, and she's looking for someone to play with. This portion of the street scene was released on Sesame Street: 40 Years of Sunny Days.
	SCENE, cont'd	Miffed by Oscar's grouchy attitude, Abby expresses reservations about moving, yearns for her old friends, and wonders where anyone else is. At that moment, she literally bumps right into Snuffy. He and Big Bird introduce themselves to their new neighbor and invite her over to Hooper's Store, where she can meet everyone.
	SCENE, cont'd	However, Abby still has her reservations, and elects to play alone for a while. Big Bird and Snuffy sing "Everyone Needs a Friend." Encouraged, Abby changes her mind, and is walked over to Hooper's Store.
	SCENE, cont'd	Abby is introduced to Elmo, Zoe, and a child named Steven. They exchange questions, and play hide and seek. After counting to 10, Zoe soon finds Big Bird, Snuffy, and most of the other participants, but Abby's whereabouts are unknown. She soon reappears: Using her fairy skills, she had disappeared entirely!
	SCENE, cont'd	Next, it's Abby's turn to cover her eyes and count to 10, but she doesn't know how. Fortunately the Count walks by, and enthusiastically shows her how. Curious, the others come out of hiding. Abby is successful at counting, but incites too much lightning at the end...breaking her wand and cracking the Count's monocle!
	SCENE, cont'd	Big Bird walks Abby over to the Fix-It Shop to have her wand fixed. After disappearing into the shop for a few moments, Luis comes out with Abby's wand fixed good as new. To test it out, she turns a toaster into a pumpkin. She can't revert the pumpkin to its prior state, however, so she calls up her mommy on her wand and leaves a message for help.
	SCENE, cont'd	Elmo and Zoe invite Abby to come back and play with them again. She agrees, and lifts them into the air.
	SCENE, cont'd	Soon Abby receives a call back from her mommy, and learns how to turn the pumpkin back into a toaster. Ready to go home, she walks back with Big Bird to her house around the corner. The entire street scene can be viewed at Sesamestreet.org. Template:SSvideo
