SCENE 1 Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop arrive on Sesame Street. Lamb Chop is dismissive of their surroundings ("You see one park, you've seen 'em all"), but that's because she's shy. A jump-cut transports them from the front of the Furry Arms Hotel to Big Bird's nest area. They meet Big Bird, whose size frightens Lamb Chop at first. The result is a rendition of "How Do You Do?"

SCENE 3 Sooey has returned, dressed in feathers and a beak, thinking everyone will respect her if she's a bird, like Big Bird. Lamb Chop bursts into laughter over this logic, and Sooey is disappointed once again. Shari persuades Lamb Chop to say something inspirational, and Lamb Chop gives a heartfelt speech, pointing out that she didn't used to be as smart as she is now, and is still learning things. And even though she makes mistakes, that doesn't diminish her self-esteem. Sooey suddenly gets another idea, and runs off.
