SCENE cont'd Elsewhere, Prairie Dawn is rehearsing a special Thanksgiving song, featuring the kids as pilgrims, Bert (as a sweet potato), Ernie (a pumpkin) and Elmo (a turkey). Rosita, who will provide guitar accompaniment, arrives late, having been helping her abuela cook food for the dinner. Their song boasts the foods they'll be eating this Thanksgiving. Rosita suggests they add some more foods to the song, like the ones she eats at Thanksgiving (tamales and frijoles, among others). Prairie points out that these foods are the typical, traditional ones she has at her Thanksgiving and can't conceive of anything more. Rosita's abuela arrives with her basket of food. Rosita's friends ask about the interesting smell, causing Rosita to grab the basket and hide with it.

SCENE cont'd As everyone gathers for the big feast, Nina and Alan show off some foods from their respective, cultural origins. They also point out that a big part of Thanksgiving is trying new foods, as that's what occurred with the pilgrims. Big Bird declares this a new Sesame Street tradition! Prairie gives some of the new foods a try and enjoys it. She re-writes her song to include everyone's dishes and sings it with Rosita, before they all dig in.
