SCENE 1 | Big Bird has David, Laura, Greg, and another kid play a game where they match the bottom and top halves of cubed pictures of Big Bird, Ernie, and Mr. Snuffleupagus. They match the Big Bird and Ernie pictures and identify them, so Big Bird asks David to match the last one. He puts them together and Big Bird gets David to admit that it's a picture of Snuffy. When Maria comes by and hears what's been going on, she gives David a look of disbelief. | |

The two begin to argue until Maria comes along and reveals that it's got her name written on it: she let them both borrow it last year and they didn't return it. As she takes it to Big Bird to borrow, Luis heads to the hardware store to buy a new shovel (which David asks to use). | |

Still determined, Big Bird decides that magic will do the trick and makes up a spell in the form of a poem... just as it begins to snow! Everyone starts to celebrate (with Big Bird claiming credit for the snowfall) as Gordon announces the sponsors. | |
