 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird welcomes the viewer and notices Susan and Luis looking at pictures of themselves from their childhood. They sing about how much they remember about being children ("When I Was Little"), and explain to Big Bird that everyone starts out as a child and grows into an adult over many years. Big Bird realizes that this applies to all the grown-ups he knows, even Mr. Rogers and the President of the United States.

 	SCENE 2 	Big Bird is amazed at what he's just learned, realizing, "Even Santa Claus was little once," and notices Maria fixing an air pump. He uses his imagination to visualize Maria and her Fix-It Shop customers as kids. They bring their broken toys to Maria, and she makes a "Three of These Things" game out of it (complete with a slick '80s rock arrangement of the song).

 	SCENE 3 	Big Bird encounters Gordon who's on his way to the Fix-it Shop to retrieve his air pump, which he'll use (with a basketball) for a demonstration in his science class today. In Big Bird's imagination, little Gordon (with a mustache) shows his sister Olivia how air fills up a life preserver, and demonstrates to her how air can move things by blowing on her hair. Olivia retaliates by blowing him a raspberry, showing that air can also make noise.
 	SCENE 3cont'd	Back in reality, Gordon fills up the basketball with the newly-fixed air pump, and wants to show Big Bird some things about air. Thanks to his imagination, Big Bird already knows a lot about it and demonstrates. Just when he's about to blow a raspberry, the scene immediately cuts away to...
