We take you now to Kermit the Frog with another fast breaking news story!

Kermit

Hi ho, Kermit the Frog here for Sesame Street News. You all remember the poem: Mary had a little lamb, its fleece was white as snow, and everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go? Remember that? Well, do you remember the part where it followed her to school? Well, this is Mary's school back here, and -- oh, look, there comes Mary, and the little lamb is following her! Oh, Maaaa-ryyyy!

Mary

Hm? Oh. 

Kermit

Uh, Kermit the Frog of Sesame Street News here, I was wondering if I could ask you a couple of questions.

Mary

Oh, well, certainly. 

Kermit

Uh huh. Well, how did it go in school today?

Mary

Oh, it was wonderful. 

Kermit

Mm hmm. And, uh, with the lamb? 

Lamb

It's not baaa-aaaa-aaad.

Mary

Isn't he cute?

Kermit

Bad, huh. Yes, he's very cute. [ The lamb starts nudging Kermit with his nose. ] But, uh, actually, I was wondering, maybe we should step over here away from the lamb... 

Mary

Oh, sure. 

Kermit

So I can ask you the questions.

Mary

Okay.

[ Kermit and Mary move a step away, but the Lamb follows, nudging Kermit more agressively. ]

Kermit

Oh. Uh. It's coming along, though.

Mary

Felix, c'mon.

Kermit

It does follow you everywhere, doesn't it?

Mary

Oh, if a lamb likes you, he'll follow you anywhere.

Kermit

Yeah, well, he's, uh -- heh heh --

Mary

Boy, he likes you too!

Kermit

Yeah, he's a cute little guy, isn't he? Yeah. Mm hm.

Mary

Felix, c'mon.

[ The lamb keeps nudging and nibbling on Kermit. ]

Kermit

Yeah, well, uh, tell me, uh, what did you learn in school today, Mary?

Mary

We learned that one plus one is two. Cut it out, Felix.

Kermit

Yes, so you learned to -- 

Lamb

Aaa-aaa-add!

Kermit

To add, yes. Er, uh. That's very good. Where did you get this, this little guy, anyhow, Mary?

Mary

Oh, I got him from my father. 

Kermit

From your father, from your, uh -- 

Lamb

Daaa-aaad!

Kermit

Dad. Yes. Um.

Kermit

Well, don't you think it's probably time you went on home, now, Mary?

Mary

Oh.

Kermit

And we can watch the lamb follow you home, don't you think? 

Mary

Sure. Boy! He just likes you a LOT!

Kermit

Yeah, he does...

Mary

Come on, come on... we're going home...  [ Mary leads her lamb away. ] 

Lamb

Baa-aaa-aaa! Baaa! Baaaa! 

Mary

Come on...

Kermit

Bye bye, now. Bye bye.

Lamb

Baaaaa!

Kermit

Bye bye, little lamb. Okay. Well, this is Kermit the Frog, and I've been talking to Mary and her little lamb, and, uh --

[ The lamb comes back and baaa's in Kermit's face. ] 

Lamb

Baaaaa-aaa!

Kermit

Yes, you were supposed to go home with Mary.

Lamb

Baaaaa! Baaaa!  [ The lamb starts pushing Kermit. ]

Kermit

No, go on home! Go on home! I'm ticklish, now... Oh! Would you cut that out? Now, listen!

Lamb

Baaaa!

Kermit

Uh, this is Kermit the Frog, and I'm --

Lamb

Baaaa-aaaa!

Kermit

I'm being followed by Mary's little lamb, and returning you to your regularly scheduled -- wha-aaaa!

[ The lamb pushes Kermit off screen. ]
