The wind will propel Big Bird (on his roller skates) into the sky and he'll fly to the park. Snuffy starts inhaling, but holds off as the Grouchketeer band marches past. He holds off again to confirm where the two will meet once Big Bird lands - at the merry-go-round in fifteen minutes. He creates a large wind that rolls Big Bird into the stoop, where he crashes. Snuffy runs off to the park on his own to meet up with Big Bird at their rendezvous point.
