SCENE 1 | Instead of running a typical lemonade stand, Big Bird has decided to open up his own vegetable juice stand. He despondently changes his sign from "OPEN" to "CLOSED" when Olivia doesn't want any, but she assures him someone will want his product. Bob also passes, further discouraging Big Bird, but eventually Maria comes by and purchases a cup of juice. Bob returns, having changed his mind, and brings some of the kids to have some juice too. Unfortunately, Big Bird didn't expect his stand to be so popular; he only made the one cupful. |
