SCENE 1 Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus are preparing for their big adventure in Big Bird's nest. Snuffy is wearing a backpack and brought his bathing trunks in case they go swimming, a telescope in case they climb a mountain and want to look down below, and a bulb horn in case they come across a lion and want to let him know that they're there. All they need now is some adventure music, so they begin humming an improvised tune.
