  |
SCENE 1 | To an audience of kids, Big Bird introduces Snuffy, who is watching after Alice today. He begins a lecture on the difference between "here" and "there," but only gets a few words in when Alice runs off toward Hooper's Store. He doesn't want her to be there and tells her to stay here (next to him), and Big Bird and the kids cheer his unplanned demonstration; Snuffy accepts their applause anyhow. |
