SCENE 1 | Mr. Snuffleupagus asks Big Bird to draw a friend of his on an easel. Snuffy describes his friend as having two wheels instead of legs, a pouch in front, three arms, two headlights for eyes, and a tail with a little wheel on it. Big Bird finds such a creature scary until Snuffy explains that his friend, the Wheelermonster, is a nice creature who likes pizza. Snuffy claims that the Wheelermonster is real and leaves to go look for him. When Luis comes by, he assumes that the drawing is another one of Big Bird's imaginary friends, but Big Bird sets him straight: Big Bird believes that the Wheelermonster is Snuffy's imaginary friend. |
