Episode 3754

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At the park, Big Bird welcomes the viewer when a princess (Alice Dinnean) comes by, looking for her prince. She thinks Big Bird may be him and gives him a kiss, but is disappointed when nothing happens. Just then, a crown-wearing chicken walks by and she kisses it too, turning it into said prince (Jerry Nelson)! Big Bird learns that they were playing a game of "Magical Hide-and-Seek," which involves hiding from each other by turning into different things with the help of their royal magician. The prince and princess summon the royal magician, and ask him to make the game a little harder (finding something with feathers was too easy). Big Bird asks to play, so the magician lets him - and the viewer - join along. With a spell and a puff of smoke, the princess is gone, hiding somewhere nearby on Sesame Street. As a clue, the magician adds that she has been turned into something beginning with the letter T.

They notice that Bob has a tuna sandwich which the prince tries kissing (the only way to break the temporary spell), but nothing happens; the same thing happens with Bob's tennis racket. Bob decides to give Gordon a call when he sees a gold-encrusted telephone booth, which he observes hasn't been there before.

 	SCENE 3cont'd 	The two encounter a turtle ringing a handbell, thinking it must be the princess - but again, nothing happens when he kisses it.
