SCENE 1 | Early in the morning, Luis has to make some deliveries and asks Big Bird to pass along a message to Bob that he can’t go fishing with him today. Big Bird tries calling for Bob at his apartment window, but Bob can’t open the stuck window and can't hear what he's saying. Big Bird decides to say it with pictures, and draws one picture of a fish crossed out with an X, and another of someone sleeping in bed. Bob still doesn't understand, so he comes downstairs outside and finally gets the message from Big Bird: that he might as well sleep in today. |
