SCENE 2 Big Bird takes another walk around the corner, and finds a little boy crying. He's sad because he's moving to Sesame Street; his family is staying at the Furry Arms until they find a place. Big Bird doesn't understand why the boy is sad. Sesame Street is a great place - but to the boy, it's not home. He shows Big Bird a picture of him and his best friend, Elizabeth. Big Bird understands how the boy feels about moving away from his best friend - after all, Big Bird would be sad if Snuffy moved away.
