	SCENE 1	Booboo and Wendy are busy drawing with crayons outdoors. When a stiff breeze begins to blow their papers about, Tom suggests that the kids come into the store to play. Once inside, Jay and Brian arrive to get a ball to play catch with. They start to throw the ball around inside the store, but Tom suggests that it isn't the best place to play catch. The boys agree and go outside, where Tom observes that there are some things that are better to do inside, and some things are better to do outside.

Suddenly, the mysterious Mr. Snuffleupagus enters, and decides to help Big Bird look for the missing glasses. There's only one problem -- the Snuffleupagus doesn't know what glasses look like. Big Bird tries to describe them, but to Mr. Snuffleupagus, Big Bird's limited descriptions could describe either the windows or a bicycle. Finally, Snuffleupagus decides that he hasn't seen the missing glasses, and before he leaves, he asks Big Bird to take care of something he just found on the ground. It's the missing glasses! Big Bird runs to return the glasses to Rafael, explaining who found them. Rafael turns to see the Snuffleupagus, but his sight is so poor he can't make out what he's looking at. He finally puts on his glasses, but the Snuffleupagus has disappeared around the corner. Again, Big Bird fails to prove the existence of his elusive friend.
