 	SCENE 1 	Maria, Luis, and Gordon are working on repairing the front door to the Fix-It Shop (after another incident with Herry Monster). Big Bird comes by and offers to help, but he's told he's too young. He storms out of the store in a huff and vows to find a way to prove them wrong.

 	SCENE 2 	Big Bird dons a hat, glasses, a grey beard, and cane to pass himself off as "Old Bird," who will now be able to do anything a grown-up can. He returns to the Fix-It Shop to help fix the door, but they've repaired it now. Instead, the grown-ups go over to the yard and start a conversation about bond issues, a topic of little interest (and knowledge) to the bird. Some of the kids come by and ask him to play, but "Old Bird" must decline. They then ask if he's seen Mr. Snuffleupagus lately. Once he learns that grown-ups can't have imaginary friends, Big Bird gives up the ruse and goes off to have fun with his fellow youngsters.
