 	SCENE 1 	Telly wakes up in his bed, welcomes the viewer, and tells them about the nice dream he just had. In his dream, he finds a cookie tin box on Sesame Street and thinks about what to do with it. He considers using it as a drum, and lightly taps on it. To Telly's surprise, the taps echo back from inside the tin. Telly opens the lid, and with a puff of smoke appears The Genie of the Cookie Tin! He is so grateful to Telly for releasing him that he will grant him four wishes, each of which will be summoned by four knocks on the tin. Back in reality, Telly tries to remember more of his dream.
