	SCENE	Baby Bear and Telly welcome the viewer to Sesame Street. They have decided to use their imaginations to write a story together, but have a hard time agreeing on what their story should be about. Baby Bear wants to do a story about a magic bowl of porridge and Telly wants to do a story about a magic triangle. Within minutes, the two start to have an argument.
	SCENE, cont'd	At that moment, Maria arrives and tries to break up the fight. She suggests that they could each write their own story by themselves. Baby Bear decides that that is their only option since he and Telly cannot work together.
	SCENE, cont'd	After trying to write their own stories, Baby Bear and Telly can’t do it by themselves and miss each other. Maria suggests that they could write a story about both their ideas.

	SCENE, cont'd	The story starts off in the Kingdom of Dum Diddley Dum Diddley Do, where there is a king (played by Baby Bear) who loves porridge. He is eating lots of porridge made by the chef (played by Telly).
	SCENE, cont'd	The king wants more porridge, but the chef informs him that there is no more porridge left in the kingdom. This leads to a song called “No More Porridge in Dum Diddley Dum Diddley Do.”
	SCENE, cont'd	Suddenly a magic triangular porridge bowl appears. He informs the king that he is a magic triangular bowl filled with scrumptious porridge of Dum Diddley Dum Diddley Do. He says in rhyme that as much as the king eats, the bowl will never be empty.
	SCENE, cont'd	The King eats up all the porridge and magically the bowl refills itself with more porridge.
	SCENE, cont'd	With the bowl of endless porridge, the chef believes he is out of the job. But the king decides to make him his chef his royal best buddy instead.
	SCENE, cont'd	After the success of finishing their story, Baby Bear and Telly decide to write another story. Baby Bear wants to write another story called "Snow White and the 7 Bowls of Porridge."
