 	SCENE 1 	Cookie Monster welcomes the viewer on what he considers the greatest day of his life, as he hauls something heavy behind him. He calls out his friends (Big Bird, Elmo, Zoe, Gordon and Maria) to see what he's got - a shopping cart filled with cookies. He explains that he entered a cookie poem contest and won, with the load of cookies being his grand prize. He proceeds to read everyone his poem, entitled Cookie: "Cookie, cookie, cookie, schnookie."
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Everyone steps back as Cookie Monster begins to dig into his winnings. Just as he is about to eat his first one, he suddenly sneezes it away. This happens as he tries eating further cookies. He realizes he might be infected with the Cookie Flu, which his Aunt Muriel had once. His friends propose some medical attention and turn away the local ducktor (he's a quack) and Cookie Monster calls in the monster doctor. He examines Cookie Monster and concludes that he does indeed have the Cookie Flu. The only known cure - to not think about cookies. "That not cure, that impossible," says Cookie. As the doctor tends to another call, his friends all offer to help him.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	To take his mind off cookies, everyone starts reciting the alphabet. Cookie Monster manages to make it to C, before the letter reminds him of cookies. By the time they reach Z, he's thinking about zucchini cookies and still sneezing. Elmo recommends thinking about fish, like his goldfish Dorothy. The others think of fish too, until Cookie comes up with a chocolate chunk elephant salmon and starts sneezing again.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Everyone vows to keep by Cookie's side until he's cured. He becomes touched and starts thinking about how great his friends are.
