SCENE 1 | It's twilight on Sesame Street. Luis fills a large barrel with water to rinse it out, while Mr. Hooper brings out a bowl of water to wipe down the outdoor tables. They both clear the area when Mr. Snuffleupagus wanders by, dressed in his new pajamas. He's getting ready for bedtime and is very thirsty. He considers visiting Big Bird for a drink when he spots the containers of water left behind in the yard. He slurps up the bowl of water, but needs more, so he drinks all the water in the barrel. Still thirsty, he takes the most water from the pool in Oscar's trash can. Finally sated, Snuffy makes his way back to his cave, singing a line from the "Aba Daba Honeymoon" refrain to himself. |
 |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Oscar pops up and declares he's been robbed. Luis and Mr. Hooper rush over and find his claims silly, until they discover the water they left out has disappeared as well... |
