| [[Gordon]] teaches [[Big Bird]] how to play hide-and-seek, but tells him he can't hide behind trees or [[the kids]] because he's too fat. Gordon suggests Big Bird be "it" since he can't grasp the concept of hiding, so he begins counting while everyone else hides. When Gordon peeks from his hiding spot to find Big Bird with his head under his wing, he thinks he's fallen asleep and approaches him. Suddenly, Big Bird springs to life, shouts "1-2-3 on Gordon!" and tells him he picked a terrible place to hide.
