SCENE 1 Big Bird is sad because he wanted to show a card he made with the capital and a small letter R. He remembers putting the card in his nest, but after sitting down to think of words that begin with R (like ran, rabbit, and room), he couldn't find it. Bob finds the card stuck to Big Bird's back, due to the glue he used to stick the letters on.

SCENE 3 Gordon comments to the kids that he would get angry if he ever lost his Rs like Big Bird did, and he asks the kids what happens when they get angry. Oscar interrupts because he thinks he can get angry better than the kids can. They have a competition to see who is better at frowning, growling, and yelling. Oscar actually gets angry because they didn't ask him, the expert, about being angry. He gnashes his teeth, which makes him feel tip-top.
