The only clues he gives are that it's a day that comes only once a year, and that it's someone's birthday. But whose birthday is it, they wonder? [[Gina]]'s? [[Barkley]]'s? They pry more clues out of Benny, who says that the one with the birthday has long ears and a little hat, and works in a hotel. They finally figure out that it's his birthday, but he makes it clear that he doesn't want a surprise birthday party. When he leaves for downtown, Big Bird and the kids agree that maybe he ''does'' want a surprise party, and decide to make one for him ... |

Gina suggests that she buy a present and give it to Stinky to give to Benny, but Stinky thinks Gina already has enough to do, and that he'll obtain a present by "just standing here being a plant ... somehow ..." |

Meanwhile, Benny smells the cake, and is prepared to be surprised by Big Bird and the kids, especially when he overhears them saying they'll count to 20, and then "do it" - but by "it" they mean "[[The Snuffle Shuffle]]" dance. Benny interrupts their dancing, and wonders why they haven't surprised him with the cake. He then shrugs, and Snuffle-shuffles along with them. |

Big Bird and some kids greet Benny, who refuses to tell them what day it is ... which makes them curious. The only clues he gives are that it's a day that comes only once a year, and that it's someone's birthday. But whose birthday is it, they wonder? Gina's? Barkley's? They pry more clues out of Benny, who says that the one with the birthday has long ears and a little hat, and works in a hotel. They finally figure out that it's his birthday, but he makes it clear that he doesn't want a surprise birthday party. When he leaves for downtown, Big Bird and the kids agree that maybe he does want a surprise party, and decide to make one for him ... | ||
