 	SCENE 1 	Telly Monster and Big Bird are fighting over who gets to read a book in Big Bird's nest, tugging on each end until it tears in half. They apologize to each other and decide to each read their own half. Big Bird starts until he gets to a word that starts with the letter "H" and then cuts off. Telly's half picks up where it left off with "en." They figure out it spells "hen," and Telly wonders who would want to read a book about a hen. Big Bird replies that he would, as he has an aunt in Cincinnati who's a hen.
