 	COLD OPEN 	What's the Word on the Street?: Hibernate
 	SCENE 	Telly enjoys a cup of hot cocoa on a cold day in Hooper's Store, when Chris reads in the newspaper that this winter, there will be a shortage of porridge. Telly realizes Baby Bear lives on porridge and runs off to warn him.
 	SCENE cont'd 	As the Bear family finishes up their stock of porridge; Telly rushes in to alert Baby Bear. However, they already know there is a shortage and are preparing to sleep for the next five months, or hibernating until Spring comes, when it’s warm and porridge is plentiful. But, Telly points out that he will have no best friend to play with while Baby Bear sleeps, so they set up a playdate next April. With their alarm set to April, the Bears try to sleep, but find they are unable to. They begin counting until they fall asleep.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Meanwhile, Telly and Chris go over how long until their playdate is, assuming the Bears have already begun sleeping.
 	SCENE cont'd 	However, the Bears are now up to the 700’s and are still awake. Papa Bear calls the “Bears Being Bears” program and asks for hibernation help. Max Bear, a hibernation consultant, is sent. He finds their cottage too warm and cozy to hibernate in, claiming that the cold is a part of hibernating. He convinces them to go outside and find a cave or hallow tree to sleep in. As they prepare for the cold, they sing about “Being a Bear.”
 	SCENE cont'd 	Once on Sesame Street, they have no success finding a cave or a hallow tree. Max spots a large crate of dirt, which they can use. Convincing them to listen to their “inner bear”, Baby Bear’s instincts tell him they must dig in the dirt for a place to hibernate. They all begin to dig.
 	SCENE cont'd 	Telly muses over the possibilities of the porridge famine being over and being able to wake the bears, when Chris spots them out in the garden. They rush over and find the bears are in the den they have dug. Snow begins to fall, which reminds Telly that he and Baby Bear won’t be able to build a snowman together. Before they sleep, Max insist they eat something first. Chris brings them some Bran Flakes from Hooper’s, which they find just as good as porridge. They decide to live off that during the winter, giving their den to Max, who forgot to make hibernation plans of his own.

They wish for all of them to get out and none of them would be inside. The bottle looks for someone to capture and it gets Mrs. Sparklenose again.
