	SCENE 1	Big Bird welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street, and notices Telly (still wearing his cast) packing a suitcase. He's going to a sleepover at Gabi's house with Merry Monster and a few kids. Just to be sure he has everything he needs, he double-checks over all that he packed: his pajamas, his toothbrush, his "blankie", his doll Freddy, and a picture of his mommy. Big Bird points out that now he has to re-pack all those things into the suitcase!
