SCENE 1 | Big Bird reminds the viewer that Luis' arm has healed and his cast is gone. He wheels over a wagon full of activities so they can make up for all the playing they missed while Luis' arm was broken. Luis tells him that even though the bone in his arm has healed, he needs some time before his muscles gain their full strength back. He agrees to go to the park and play "a little football," but Big Bird goes overboard and hands everything in his wagon to Luis, hoping they can play a little of each. |
