 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird comes across a sad Honker, depressed that they don't know what to do. Big Bird takes this to mean what kind of job they want. He and the Honker envision him in such roles as a bus driver, taxi driver, and captain of a tugboat (honking as if he's a foghorn). The Honker then explains he's not worried about what to do when he grows up - he doesn't know what to do this afternoon. Big Bird suggests he pretend to be a bus driver.
