 	SCENE 	Baby Bear is showing Curly Bear the things he can do that she can’t because she’s smaller. He proceeds to sing about it, demonstrating such things as lifting heavy stuff, jumping high and growling loudly, until he gets a load of Curly’s growl. Baby Bear notes something’s wrong: he’s the bigger brother, but he doesn’t have the bigger growl. He tries regaining his high role by growling again, but is overshadowed by Curly’s.
 	SCENE cont'd	Big Bird walks over, having heard Curly’s tremendous growl. She blows them away with her next one. Baby Bear asks the “Big” expert on how to make a big growl. Big Bird suggests doing what Curly does before she growls. They observe her tugging her ear, sucking her thumb, stretching and finally letting out the huge growl. Baby Bear tries it, but his growl hardly gets bigger.
 	SCENE cont'd	Professor Gary Gill, a traveling salesman, and his two assistants arrive having heard his problems and offer (in song) a solution – using the letter G, as the word “growl” starts with it. He tells him to imagine a giant G, which would make his growl bigger. However, his growl isn’t any bigger, but Curly’s humongous growl frightens the salesmen away.
 	SCENE cont'd	Just then, Papa Bear arrives to get the kids for lunch, when Curly shows off her new growl. Baby Bear confesses his problems to his father, who points out that there’s nothing to be ashamed of. Papa Bear then shows off his own growl, which is hardly any bigger than his son's. This helps Baby Bear realize he should be proud of his little sister. Papa Bear leaves to fetch his hat blown off by her growl.
