Ms. Camp decides to call over Gordon and has him give the package to Big Bird. Additionally, she writes a note for Big Bird, so he will know where his package is. Lulu reiterates Ms. Camp's process, not immediately realizing that Big Bird has arrived, so now, Ms. Camp only has to hand him the package. Ms. Camp tells Lulu that she has to deliver mail to other streets and says good-bye. Lulu desires to be a letter carrier like Ms. Camp, but she concedes with waiting until she's grown up. Big Bird mentions that she can pretend to be one right now. Lulu compliments Big Bird's idea and goes off to try it.
