 	SCENE 2 	David and Akim head over to open Hooper's Store, where 20 crates of nothing but cabbages await them. David suspects the delivery man mistook his order of two crates fro 20, and they won't be able to contact him until tomorrow. Rather than let this get them down, the two think of ways they can get rid of the produce by making some cabbage-specific meals. They also put a sign up - "Cabbages: 6 for $1."
 	SCENE 2 cont'd	Big Bird takes notice of the sign and believes he can get the Snuffleupagus family a good deal. He phones Mommy Snuffleupagus about the sale and recommends she call the store to order some, since he has a hard time convincing anyone about Snuffy's existence. She calls the store and orders ten crates (totaling 80 cabbages) under the name "Sally," saying her son Aloysius is a playmate of Big Bird's. David and Akim are happy to see their problem nearly solved and Big Bird is eager for them to finally meet a Snuffleupagus.

 	SCENE 3 	David and Akim have prepared an array of cabbage-themed dishes and think they should use them for a party at Gordon and Susan's. Big Bird protests, thinking they'll miss Sally when she arrives. The two don't buy that the Sally who ordered the cabbages is really a Snuffleupagus, but David jokes that she can come to the party when she comes to pick up the crates. Once they're gone, Sally arrives, but doesn't have time to attend the party. Her wagon can only hold one crate at a time, so she'll be making ten trips from Hooper's Store to Snuffle Cavern. Big Bird is certain this means she'll run into his friends at some point, even when they show up just after she leaves.
