SCENE | At Hooper's Store, Alan welcomes the viewers to Sesame Street. As the patrons (Big Bird, Miles, and a mother and her daughter) leave except for Gabi, Cookie Monster enters and orders a cookie from Alan. After eating it, Cookie Monster wants some more, but Alan tells Cookie Monster that he ate the last cookie. So Alan decides to bake some more, but Cookie Monster has a hard time waiting for them to be ready. Gabi replies that he could do something while he waits and suggests he write a story about cookies. So Cookie Monster dictates the story, while Gabi writes it down. | |

SCENE, cont'd | Several royal subjects come to the kingdom to give King Cookie something to make him happy. The first to show up is Big Bird, who offers birdseed to share with the king. However, while this makes Big Bird happy, it doesn't make King Cookie happy. The next to arrive is Lady Gabi of the Schoolyard, who does a special hand clap, but it also doesn't cheer up Cookie. However, the Royal Helper enjoys the special hand clap and starts to do it until King Cookie tells him to stop. The story comes to a halt as Cookie Monster asks Alan if the cookies are ready. Alan replies that it is almost done and Gabi tells Cookie Monster to finish up the story. | |

SCENE, cont'd | As King Cookie starts to give up, a little girl (played by Jasmina Lee) comes up to him and gives him a cookie to eat. King Cookie decides to try it to make the girl happy. After a bite of the cookie, King Cookie realizes that this is what's been missing all along and he eats it all and a box of cookies that the girl also has. Feeling good, King Cookie proclaims the girl as prime minister and lives happily ever after. | |
SCENE, cont'd | As Gabi finishes writing, she comments on how it had a happy ending. Just then, Alan comes with a plate of cookies and Cookie Monster thanks Alan as he proclaims, “This not happy ending, this happy beginning.” Then Cookie Monster eats all the cookies off the plate. | |
