 	COLD OPENING 	Healthy Moment: Bert recites a funky rap about fruits.cut from DVD and HBO Max versions
 	SCENE 	In honor of Telly's storytelling, he tells the story about the cave monster who needed a pet. In which the story takes place in the cro-magnon era, a cave-monster named Brog (Telly) is sad because he doesn't have a pet. He approaches a cave-boy named Glog (Miles), who has a pet rock named "Bouncy" because it bounces like a ball. Glog is also sad because he sees some kids playing Basket-banana, and thinks they won't let him play with them. Brog convinces him to go and ask them, so he does, and they have fun throwing Glog's bouncy rock into the basket. Glog offers to do something for Brog in return, but doesn't know where to get another bouncy rock, so Brog goes on his way.Brog continues his search for a pet. He meets Scrog (The Count), who loves to count things, and happens to have six pet bats. Brog helps him count the bats, whose names are Spotty, Mousey, Bruce Wayne, Dasher, Dancer, and Louisville Slugger.Brog is still looking for a pet. He meets Zog the grouch (Oscar), who just told his pet to scram. Brog is surprised to find that Zog's pet is an affectionate Luis-asaurus Rex. Brog then gets the idea to help Zog out, and gives him a sign that says "PLEASE GO AWAY," which he thinks will work. But it doesn't work because, as the Luis-asaurus points out, dinosaurs can't read!Brog is just about ready to give up his quest, when he finds the previous characters huddled together in fear, trying to hide from a barking creature behind a tree. The barks don't sound scary to Brog, so he coaxes the creature to come out, and the creature (Barkley) comes out and shows itself to be friendly, not scary at all. Brog decides to keep it as a pet, name it "Dog," and teach it tricks. At the end, Oscar shows up a "Go Away" sign, fooling other people. This despairs Telly.
