SCENE | Luis and Rosita welcome the viewer to Sesame Street. Rosita tells us that she has got a package from her abuela in Mexico. Luis helps her open the package up. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Inside the package is a bead bracelet, a letter, and a photo of Rosita's abuela in the marketplace. Looking at the photo has made Rosita homesick for Mexico to see her abuela. | |
|
SCENE, cont'd | At that moment, Big Bird arrives and sees Rosita sad as she heads off to look at the photo of her abuela. He asks Luis what is wrong with Rosita and Luis explains that she misses Mexico and her abuela and she wishes that she can see them. Big Bird suggests that they bring stuff from Mexico to Rosita on Sesame Street, but he doesnโt know much about Mexico. |
|
SCENE, cont'd | At that moment, Grover arrives in a mariachi outfit to sing about his favorite country, Mexico, and gives some facts about what stuff they have in Mexico. Three monsters provide back up singing and translate Groverโs facts to Spanish ("Mexico Is a Country"). With so much information about Mexico, Big Bird knows how to bring Mexico to Rosita. |
SCENE, cont'd | In the courtyard, Rosita is looking at the photo and misses Mexico. She imagines that she is there and can smell the fajitas. She then realizes that she actually smells the fajitas for real. | |
SCENE, cont'd | Big Bird calls Rosita to come to the courtyard for a surprise. When Rosita arrives, she sees decorations, a piรฑata, and Mexican food that Miles placed on the table. Big Bird explains to Rosita that they are bringing Mexico to her. Rosita is happy that she gives him and Miles a hug. | |
|
SCENE, cont'd | With the courtyard looking like Mexico, Rosita feels like home and can almost hear the Mexico music. She suddenly hears music playing; it's Luis singing the traditional Mexico song, "Cielito Lindo," while playing the guitar. Everyone joins in and sings along. |
|
SCENE, cont'd | Rosita is truly surprised and grateful when she realizes what everyone has done for her. To everyone's surprise, Rosita's abuela shows up too. She missed Rosita so much that she had to fly on Monster Mexico airlines to see her. To her abuelaโs amazement, she says that Sesame Street looks like Mexico because of the decorations, which impresses Big Bird. Rosita is very happy that her abuela came and she and her friends all continue the fiesta together. |
