SCENE 1 Snuffy wants to introduce Big Bird, Maria, Bob, Luis and Gordon to his new friend, but isn't sure how to do it since he just recently became friends with the grown-ups himself. Maria explains how easy the process can be, so Snuffy tells the group how to gently address his friend Mr. Anteloper - whom Snuffy reveals to be a stuffed toy. Snuffy knows it's just a toy, but likes to imagine how Mr. Anteloper would act if he were alive.
