Snuffy arrives at his nest, and Big Bird makes him his โAssistant Nest Sale Snuffleupagusโ. Snuffy's only task is to remember what toys are for sale and which are not, especially Radar. Big Bird briefly leaves to get more of his toys from Maria and Luisโs apartment and puts Snuffy in charge, but unbeknownst to him and Snuffy, Big Birdโs tail knocks Radar into the nest when he leaves. | |

Snuffy goes over the nest sale rule for him, and the Count decides to buy all the toys (including Radar) for 1,000 birdseeds. The Count counts 20 toys heโs loaded into his cart and goes off to count them some more. (โI love retail!โ) | |
SCENE contโd | Big Bird comes back and sees Snuffy has sold all he toys for a hefty price. Big Bird asks Radar if heโs excited too, but sees Radar is not around.

SCENE contโd | Outside of 123 Sesame Street, the Count has lined up the toys on the wall to count. Big Bird and Snuffy go to him and interrupt his counting, so he starts over, counting 19 toys. Big Bird points out he forgot to count Radar, however the Count gave him away to a tall, thin monster with curly hair on his head for his teddy bear collection. The duo set out to find this monster. | |
SCENE contโd | In the arbor, a group of monsters play a game of freeze tag. Fortunately, this helps the duo as they can observe each monster when theyโre frozen. The look at two monsters, but they each donโt fit the description. A third monster is frozen and he is tall, thin and has curly hair on his head. Plus, heโs holding Radar! They unfreeze him and ask him for Radar back, but he doesnโt have him, just his stuffed monkey, Tarzan. He tells them he gave it to someone else. The monsters all leave to catch their favorite TV show, leaving Snuffy and Big Bird miserable. | |
SCENE contโd | Back at the nest, Big Bird and Snuffy look through the toys, hoping Radar may still be around. Kaitlyn comes to the sale and wants to purchase a baseball glove, but since she has no birdseed, she wants to barter with a teddy bear, which happens to be Radar! She tells them the monster gave it to her since hers was missing, but since she found it, she doesnโt need Radar anymore. Big Bird is happy to have his teddy bear back and continues to hold it in his arms. | |
