SCENE 2 Tom gives Big Bird some items (three apples and a cup) to use for a game of "One of These Things." Before he can even get into a verse, Mr. Snuffleupagus wanders in and suddenly cries in fear - he's afraid of apples! He explains that apples grow on trees and sometimes fall and bonk people. Big Bird agrees to go get something else to use, as Snuffy runs off to find a handkerchief. Big Bird tries explaining the situation to Tom (who finds the whole thing hysterical), as they both see no sign of a Snuffleupagus anywhere.
