SCENE 1 | Uncle Wally trades his tuna fish salad for Bob's peanut butter and jelly sandwich when suddenly Big Bird and the Birdketeers arrive and bestow upon Bob the Golden F Award. He's been given such an honor for having many things beginning with F, such as his foot, face, and the fish in his salad. After they leave, Bob switches Wally's fish for his sandwich again, as peanut butter is his favorite. |
