center 	SCENE 1 	Gordon teaches Big Bird how to play hide-and-seek, but tells him he can't hide behind trees or the kids because he's too wide and tall. Gordon suggests Big Bird be "it" since he can't grasp the concept of hiding, so he begins counting while everyone else hides. As he counts while hiding his eyes under his wing, Big Bird starts to fall asleep. When Gordon peeks from his hiding spot to find what's going on, Big Bird springs to life and shouts "1-2-3 on you, Gordon!"
