SCENE 1 For his "nineteeniest" trick ever, Big Bird enlists his assistant Snuffy to help him turn a number 19 into a bunny rabbit. He has Snuffy look at the number while he says the magic words, but then the marching band of kids causes Snuffy to look away, which gives another one of the kids some time to switch the number with an annoyed Benny Rabbit. Snuffy is amazed at how well the trick worked, and asks Big Bird to turn Benny back into the number, so Big Bird does the same trick in reverse. Snuffy is confused when he sees both Benny and the number, and realizes how he did the trick after all. Big Bird walks off, disappointed.
