	SCENE 1	In the morning, Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus wake up from their sleepover, and notice Ruby nearby, with a blindfold. They learn that she's conducting another experiment: she wants to see if she'll know when the sun comes up, without seeing it come up. They don't think her experiment will work, because you can't hear, smell or taste the sun, but they start to feel warm, which means the sun is coming up!
