SCENE 1 Telly tells Savion and Jaya why he's upset: he packed up to spend the night at his friend Malcolm's house, but his mommy told him not to pack his favorite blankie, which he calls "Softie." Savion asks why he needs Softie, and Telly comes up with a reason: to show Malcolm's little sister what shapes look like. He has Jaya help out by folding the blanket into a rectangle, a square, then a triangle.

Telly confirms with Savion that he does indeed need Softie to be able to teach shapes, but Savion notices that Telly also packed a handkerchief, which can also be folded into the same shapes. Telly, however, still likes holding his blankie up to his cheek.
