She has special gifts for everyone and gives Maria an apple. Maria leads Granny Bird to Big Bird's nest and introduces her to some of the kids, Olivia and Mr. Hooper (who she calls Mr. Pooper). They then discover that Big Bird isn't home, so Granny Bird resolves to spend the day with his friends. She gives Maria a gift to give to Oscar (the crumpled bag the apples came in) and begins a conversation with "Mr. Pooper."
