 	SCENE 1 	Gina is too sick to come into work at Hooper's Store today, so Mr. Handford has Savion fill in. Gina tries to assure she's fine but Mr. Handford and Savion tell her they've got the store covered. Big Bird comes in for his usual breakfast and is disappointed that Gina isn't there since she always makes it for him. Savion instead prepares him his "surprise breakfast": he hands Big Bird the ingredients as he adds them to the bowl. Big Bird doesn't get the surprise since he was told the ingredients ahead of time.
