 	SCENE 1 	Susan and Telly are talking on the stoop of 123 Sesame Street when Susan notices Piri limping by. She inquires what the matter is, and he brushes his pain off as a splinter. Susan, being a nurse, asks Piri to take off his shoe so she can see his splinter and insists it be taken out or else it could get infected. Though reluctant at first, Piri gives in and Susan asks Telly to make sure Piri doesn't go away as she fetches her nurses' bag, and heads into 123. Alone, Piri confides in Telly that he's feeling a little scared about the procedure.
