SCENE 1 | Big Bird once again has trouble remembering Mr. Hooper's name. He thinks it would be easier if everyone had the same name and imagines a world where everyone shares his name. This quickly becomes confusing for everyone, unable to tell whose soup is being made or whose mail has been delivered. Big Bird realizes everyone sharing his name would be awful. He does think that if everyone were named "Himmelfarb," things would be easier, claiming no one could forget a name like that. |
