SCENE 1 Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus wake up as the morning dawns on Sesame Street, Snuffy having spent the night over at Big Bird's nest. The two friends go on a morning stroll to observe just how quiet the street can be at this time and witness a weary David opening up Hooper's Store an hour early. David explains to the viewer how he planned to do the dishes that he couldn't get to last night the morning after, but he decides to get a brief nap in before doing so. Big Bird and Snuffy see the sleeping storekeeper and decide to help out by doing the dishes themselves.

SCENE 3 David watches in confusion as Biff helps Big Bird use his tape measure to figure out the distance from his nest to the front door of Hooper's Store (122 ft.). When David inqures why, Big Bird explains that it's important for him to know which door to get to if he's in a hurry to the store, such as getting some birdseed for a cake. He demonstrates that he can use the back door (143 ft. away from his nest) for more casual requests like a birdseed malted. Biff marvels at the bird's efficiency before leaving with Big Bird, while David attempts to comprehend what he just witnessed.
