 	SCENE 2 	While walking through the park, Big Bird encounters a magic banana (Kevin Clash), who can only do magic for a pair of monkeys. Sure enough, Joey and Davey Monkey pop up and start wishing for loads and loads of bananas. The magic banana explains that before he can grant their wishes, they must first count backwards from 10 to 0. The monkeys have an incorrect way of doing it (they think Cleveland is one of the numbers) and follow Big Bird as he does the count. The magic banana claims there's another thing they now must do - say the alphabet, which they aren't very good at either.

 	SCENE 4 	Davey, Joey, and Big Bird try to wake the magic banana up, but nothing seems to work. They even assemble some kids to make an even louder noise, but to no avail. Big Bird places Radar in Kai's bicycle basket during their attempts, and doesn't notice her riding away with him afterward. Big Bird gets a good idea and places an alarm clock by the banana, which wakes him right up.

Once he does, Big Bird says that he wants Radar to witness this moment, only to find that he is missing and becomes very sad. Davey and Joey realize the best thing to do is to use their wish and bring Radar back. They do so, and Kai returns the lost bear. The magic banana splits the scene, while Maria treats the selfless monkeys to some bananas at Hooper's Store as Big Bird announces the sponsors (with assistance from Radar).
