COLD OPEN Savion has Elmo look into his “Magic Circle” (which has an echo effect every time Savion says it) and asks him to picture what he wants to see. Elmo says that he wants to see today's sponsors, a cartoon rabbit, and Ernie and Bert, all of which appear within the circle.

He displays his other magic circle, which isn’t a circle either but rather a triangle. Using the magic circle, Savion and Elmo show him what one looks like...

Cartoon A young man carrying a brown paper bag walks up to the bridgekeeper and asks him if he works there. The bridgekeeper orders the young man to show him whatever circles are in the bag, and to eat them.

Once the young man is granted permission to cross the bridge, however, he tells the bridgekeeper that he was merely trying to deliver the latter's groceries.
