 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird discovers a pair of sleeping birds near his nest. They wake up and introduce themselves as Peter-Paul and Marilou. Peter-Paul begins to explain how they've been flying south for the winter and need some rest, when Marilou suggests they sing instead. The two birds proceed to sing about how they've flown "Forty Miles" from home. Big Bird allows them to stay and rest.
