Snuffy tries striking up a conversation with the snowman, assuming it's one of Big Bird's friends. Not realizing it's not alive, Snuffy continues befriending the snowman by dancing a little, complimenting it, and shows how he can slurp up and blow some snow out of his snuffle. He wonders if the rest of Big Bird's friends are just as unfriendly, and decides to leave. |
