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. |
