SCENE 1 | Big Bird teaches the viewer about over and through using his front wall. He goes through the front door, but can't find a way to climb over it, even after getting a box to help boost him. He instead tosses a bag of birdseed over the wall, which accidentally knocks the books from David's hands. David angrily goes in to talk about this, inadvertently helping Big Bird by going through the door, then tripping over his box. |
