SCENE 2 Grover has gotten his toy airplane stuck above the carriage house doors and has recruited his large friend Big Bird to retrieve it. However, even at his height, Big Bird still comes up short when trying to reach it. Grover gets the idea to cooperate and has Big Bird stretch out, then he will climb on him and get the airplane. Once Grover reaches his head, Big Bird feels a sneeze coming on. Grover keeps the beak closed, but it's not enough. Big Bird sneezes and both Grover and the airplane plummet below. From the rubble, Grover relays some advice his mommy has given him - "Never sneeze when somebody is standing on your beak!"
