SCENE 1 | Big Bird is watching Hooper's Store while David is out for a moment. He wraps up dusting the whole store, save for a carton of eggs. As he picks one up to clean it, the egg slips from his wing and smashes on the counter. Big Bird fears that David will be angry with him, so he covers up the mess and replaces the egg in the carton with a similar-looking onion. When David returns, he proposes making some eggs for breakfast, but Big Bird tries to sway him away from this before splitting the scene all together. David notices the onion in the carton, then the splattered egg under the dust rag, and pieces together why Big Bird is acting so strange. | |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Outside the store, Big Bird paces around in despair. David comes outside and Big Bird gets on his knees for forgiveness. David is very understanding about the situation and brings Big Bird back inside for a game. They observe the carton of eggs and find what item doesn't belong (the onion). David then admits he too made an egg-related mistake earlier today: he dropped a whole carton of eggs as he put them away, leaving only one egg unshattered. This works out perfectly, as it can now occupy the space left by the egg Big Bird dropped. | |
