*[[Big Bird]] feels sick and wants sympathy, but he doesn't tell anyone and everyone is too busy to dote on him. They all help Mr. Hooper, who has just recovered from a cold. Big Bird thinks people don't like him the way he is, and that if he were like Mr. Hooper, he would get more respect. He puts on glasses and an apron and pretends to be Mr. Hooper, but Gordon, Bob, and Susan see through his disguise. Next he dresses as [[Sherlock Hemlock]], but [[Miguel]] and Mr. Hooper know it's him. When he gets frustrated, everyone comes over to see what the matter is, and they assure him that they like him just the way he is.
