 	SCENE 2 	As Tom and Bob prepare for bed, Big Bird tells Susan about a book he's been reading about the rooster, and how they crow to wake people up. Since he's the only bird around, he feels he should take on this responsibility. He wants to wake Susan up, so she permits him to crow at 8 o'clock sharp, though mutters to the viewer that she isn't sure this is a good idea.

 	SCENE 3 	"Being a rooster is hard," Big Bird remarks. His understanding of when 8 o'clock occurs is that his clock will ring eight times. The clock starts ringing - ding-ding-ding! He isn't sure how many dings that was and decides to wake Susan just in case he's correct. He crows loudly, waking up the entire street and gets a shoe thrown at him. Susan confirms it was only three dings, and reiterates the eight dings he should listen for.
