SCENE 2 Big Bird tells Miguel he has a new pen pal, but he accidentally knocks over one of the kids' block towers in the process of sharing the news. He's not sure what to write back to her about, and considers telling her about how clumsy he is, and that he always makes mistakes. Miguel tells him some positive attributes he can write about, like how kind and generous he is. With a new, positive outlook, Big Bird narrowly avoids walking into the block towers again - "If you start to think good things, you do good things!"

SCENE 5 After disagreeing about the weather, Tom asks Oscar why he's so grouchy all the time. "If you were me, you'd be just the same," replies Oscar. Tom disagrees, then wonders what it would be like. He closes his eyes and imagines that he is Oscar, living in his trash can. At first he enjoys it, even playing a bit on Oscar's piano and taking a dip in his swimming pool. He's very pleasant with Miguel as he sweeps, but gets upset when his broom knocks into the can. He gets even grouchier when a couple of kids throw their ball at the can as well. When Gordon dumps some trash onto his head, Tom quickly develops an attitude like Oscar's.
