Ernie is at the typewriter, pecking away. Suddenly--

Ernie: 'It's done! It's done! Hey Bert--it's done!'

Bert: 'What? What's done?'

Ernie: 'My story--greatest short story in the whole wide world, it's done. Greatest story in the world, wait'll you hear it.'

Bert: (groan) 'Go ahead.'

Ernie: 'A........B, C.......D......'

Bert: 'Ernie.....'

Bert: 'Ernie, that's the alphabet!'

Ernie: 'Now comes the sad part. (begins to cry) 'H...I, J, K.....' '

Bert: 'Ernie......'

Ernie: '.......L, M, N, O...................P'

Bert: 'Oh, Ernie!' (shaking his head)

Ernie: 'Now comes the action part! (reads excitedly) 'Q! R, S! T! U, V!' '

Bert just groans

Ernie: 'Here comes the wind-up--'W, X, Y--' '

Suddenly Ernie begins to roll up the paper. Berts turns to him.

Bert: 'Well?'

Ernie: 'Well what?'

Bert: 'Well go on, finish it. You went, 'T, U, V, W, X, Y,' and then you stopped. Go on, finish the story.'

Ernie: 'And tell you how it ends? Then you'll never want to read it for yourself!'

(Laughs and goes off)

Bert: 'Sighhhhhhhhhhhh......'
