She then reads "Little Miss Muffet," featuring Miss Muffet and the Spider.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	As everyone heads to Hooper's Store for some post-show refreshments, Mother Goose, noticing how kind and enthusiastic Elmo has been in the audience, decides to write a new nursery rhyme about him.

Mother Goose admits she knows nothing about Elmo, thus can't write about him. Abby tells her a few, special things about Elmo and Mother Goose becomes inspired.
