BERT: Wow, Isn't this terrific, Ernie?

A real Egyptian pyramid.

ERNIE: I don't know, Bert.

I'm afraid.

BERT: Afraid of what?

I mean, this is wonderful.

Look, with all the exciting new discoveries.

ERNIE: Yeah?

BERT: Yeah, look at all the knowledge here.

ERNIE: Well.

of years old.

This is great.

ERNIE: Yeah, Bert.

funny writing.

I'm still--

Let's go home.

There's a spooky, dark tunnel here.

You want to join me?

Wow.

ERNIE: Oh, dear.

Maybe Bert's right.

Maybe there isn't anything to be afraid of.

It's all in my imagination.

Oh, I'll just look at these statues over here.

Look at that.

Ernie, don't you think maybe you were using your

imagination?

Hmm?

You were just imagining it, hmm?

Now, come on, leave me alone.

I want to go explore this tunnel.

Where do I park my bicycle, huh?

ERNIE: It did talk to me, Bert.

BERT: Ernie, come here.

ERNIE: Oh.

BERT: Don't you think, maybe, maybe, that was your

imagination, too?

Maybe, you let your imagination just run away from

you because you were so scared, hmm?

ERNIE: Maybe, Bert.

BERT: OK, good.

Why don't you maybe sing a song, hmm?

That'll make you feel better, huh?

ERNIE: Yeah, Bert.

BERT: Yeah, you won't be that scared then, OK?

ERNIE: OK, Bert.
