SCENE 1 | In Big Bird's nest area, Mr. Snuffleupagus looks in a mirror as he growls and stomps his feet. He tells Big Bird that he's practicing getting angry, but Big Bird points out that it's something people don’t need to practice; they just do it. He tries to get Snuffy to play instead of practice, which irritates Snuffy to a point when he really does get angry. |

SCENE 3 | Snuffy is now practicing being afraid, but this time Big Bird sticks around to help his friend. Big Bird tells Snuffy to wait while he goes out so he can make some scary noises for him to react to, though Gordon and Susan find the situation with his “imaginary” friend ridiculous. Big Bird makes scary sounds outside, including ghost moans and a "wubba-wubba-wubba" chant, which frightens Snuffy so much that he runs away. Big Bird enters with Gordon and Susan (who return after hearing Big Bird's noise), only to find that Snuffy is nowhere in sight. Gordon and Susan leave while Big Bird stares at the mirror, "practicing" feeling lonely. |
