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.
