Episode 0731

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird is feeding some cabbages to Mr. Snuffleupagus. He runs out, but Snuffy is still hungry, so Big Bird offers to get some more from his friends around the street.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	Big Bird finds Gordon and Susan, and asks them for cabbage. They learn it's for the Snuffleupagus and immediately turn him down, saying they can't waste real cabbages on an imaginary friend. The two make it clear to Big Bird that Snuffy isn't real like them; he's imaginary. Big Bird takes their words to heart and goes back to his nest to break the news to Snuffy.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd	He returns to the nest, convinced Snuffy is merely a "fig newton" of his imagination, though Snuffy insists he's real. Big Bird starts to break down and cry as he declares the two will be parting ways forever. 
As he sulks down the street, he runs into a group of kids and explains what's got him down. The kids all believe Snuffy is real and drag him back to the nest where Snuffy is sobbing over his now-broken friendship. 
Big Bird begins to feel Snuffy and decides he's real after all. They hug and declare themselves best friends forever.
Big Bird had previously been convinced that Snuffy was imaginary in Episode 0361.
