Maria says howdy to a talking cactus that gets a tumbleweed stuck on him. Maria then runs into the notorious villain, Bad Duck, who believes the trail isn’t big enough for both of them to travel on. She tries moving to different sides of the trail, but Bad Duck always stays in front of her, until they both go in opposite directions of the trail. Maria has solved her problem and rides off into the sunset on Amigo.

SCENE cont’d Now that the story is finished, Gordon has errands and must leave. They all want to hear the book again and get the idea to re-enact the story themselves.

Big Bird and Elmo argue again over the role, so Abby makes Big Bird Bad Duck and Elmo Amigo.

They head for the town on their “taxi” (a donkey named Speedy). Ernie hears “cow sounds” coming from the saloon and lo and behold, they see Clarice dancing with Billy the Bull.
