Slimey's first try produces a puff of smoke which enlarges his book. He's frustrated that the trick didn't go exactly as planned, but everyone encourages him to try again. Following another puff of smoke, Slimey's small stature is swapped out for a body nearly ten times in size.

 	SCENE 4 	Big Bird sits on a stool in the yard wondering where Snuffy could be. He laments on how Snuffy never used to be hard to find when he was big, and hopes he's okay now that he's so little. He enlists the help of a still oversized Slimey who looks behind some boxes, but Snuffy is nowhere to be found.
With a tiny voice, Snuffy shouts out that he's underneath the stool Big Bird was just sitting on. He says it's fun being so small, he's only ever been able to fit under a blanket before. Big Bird asks if he wants to get back to being his big old self, but Snuffy says he likes it down there. Big Bird concedes that he'd still be his best friend no matter what size he is, but he misses him being so far away.
Snuffy sees the problem, and asks Big Bird if he can make him big again. Big Bird gives it the old college try; he says the magic words, "a la meatballs and spaghetti," and Snuffy returns to his normal size in a puff of smoke. Snuffy's happy to be big again, but points out that he's still under the stool - only now it's sitting on top of his head.

Bob thinks they've had enough magic for one day, but Oscar insists; he just needs a little music. The end theme music begins to play as he announces the sponsors, all while his neighbors remain doubtful. As if reciting a magic spell, Oscar declares that "Sesame Street is a production of the Children's Television Workshop," waving his hand in an explosive puff of smoke that doesn't clear. From an echo-y void, Oscar cackles, "Poof! You're all gone!"
