  |
SCENE, cont'd | When Alan returns he finds that Old MacDonald has arrived, asking for his kid to be signed up for the school. His kid turns out to be a young goat, and "Mr. Alan" reads Tickle the Goat to his two students. At the sound of another bell from a customer, Alan leaves the two to draw and returns to the store. |
 |
SCENE, cont'd | In Hooper's Store another customer has arrived, while the earlier customer is still debating the merits of tuna and egg. The new customer orders a tuna salad sandwich.

SCENE, cont'd | At the sound of a bleat from the Celebratory Bugle, Alan dashes back to Hooper's. With a little help from Alan, the customers arrive at a solution, and they cut and share their sandwiches with each other. Unfortunately, a new conundrum of indecision arrives when the two cannot decide on accompanying their meal with milk or juice. |
 |
SCENE, cont'd | Returning to his pretend school, Alan discovers that an elephant from Staten Island has arrived with the understanding that the school had a fantastic rhyming program. Although taken off-guard, Alan explains what a rhyme is, and they rhyme words together. With help from "Mr. Alan" the elephant learns, and jumps up and down in excitement. |
  |
SCENE, cont'd | At the sound of an even louder bugle call, Alan returns to his store. The customers decide that they want neither milk nor juice; rather, they want to go to Alan's school. After they scoot out the door, Elmo approaches Alan at the window, noting that he is finished drawing his picture. Elmo thanks him for the "best day in school ever," and gives him the picture. |
  |
SCENE, cont'd | After hearing a car horn, Alan steps over to the other window. A character (Martin P. Robinson) approaches him, claiming to be the new bus driver for his school.

The driver congratulates Alan for being "up for" Teacher of the Year, and leaves. cut from the DVD version |
