Big Bird and Lexine follow the music, learning that the statue is playing the violin. The statue can also talk, and the frowning figure (Ruth Buzzi) reveals that she feels useless being a statue. All the while, neither Gabi nor Miles are able to see and hear the conversation had between the statue and the others. Lexine thinks the statue is pretty to look at, and Big Bird points out that the (smaller) birds can sit on her to rest. Now she feels happy to be a statue, and plays happy-sounding music.

 	SCENE 3 	The butterfly leads Big Bird and the kids to yet another section of the park. Miles still doesn't believe that the butterfly is really playing with them, but Gabi is starting to agree with Lexine and Big Bird - after all, if an 8-foot-two-inch bird can play "Follow the Leader," why not a butterfly? Big Bird starts naming the people he'll tell about his experience when he gets back to Sesame Street, but remembers that Linda is deaf. He realizes he doesn't know how to say "butterfly" in sign language, and Miles and Gabi doubt that the butterfly knows either. Just then, the butterfly flies up to the screen and shows a film sequence of a girl saying the word "butterfly" in sign language.
