SCENE 1 | Big Bird lures Maria to his nest to show her the snowman he's built. Maria says that it's upside down, with the head on the bottom and the bottom on the top, and that he should have looked at a picture of a snowman to see what one looks like. Big Bird produces the book he consulted, and it looks just like the one he made... but Maria notes that the book is also upside down. She offers to help fix it, and proceeds placing the head on the top, etc. Big Bird says he liked it better his first way, and Maria assures him that's fine: the book was just one way to build a snowman, and his is just as good. | |
