 	SCENE 1 	Susan and Gordon return from grocery shopping and welcome the viewer when they hear an argument nearby. They find Herry Monster and Gladys the Cow fighting over who will get to welcome the viewer. Herry thinks he should because he's loud and strong, while Gladys insists she has a more moo-sical voice.

A ringing sound is finally heard, but it's from the passing ice cream wagon. Elmo goes to get some ice cream and claims he'll keep playing when he returns.
