SCENE 2 At Hooper's Store, Susan tells Gordon and Mr. Hooper that she saw a giant love note on the Fix-it Shop window from Big Bird to Mr. Snuffleupagus. They get concerned, believing that they may not show him as much love as they thought they did. Big Bird tells them that he made the note to help Snuffy learn how to read, but he still can't get the grown-ups to think of Snuffy more than some imaginary creature. Meanwhile, Snuffy sees the Fix-it Shop note and decides to write back using some chalk…
