The two walk to the store, where Arnold and David are engrossed in the Hooper family photo album. They don't notice Snuffy peeking in through the door, which he can hardly fit through. David refuses to go outside and "meet" Snuffy, so Big Bird leaves in a huff. Big Bird reports back to Snuffy, who decides to just go home. |
