SCENE 2 Maria notices Elmo and Snuffy in deep thought, and Elmo suddenly gets the idea to have Maria build them a ship. Maria doesn't have time or materials to build one, so she suggests that they use something else and pretend it's a ship. Maria leaves, and they encounter Big Bird giving wagon rides to the Birdketeers, which means they can't borrow his wagon right now. They realize that it's not easy to find a device that can fit both of them, since Snuffy's almost as big as a pirate ship -- which gives Elmo the idea that Snuffy himself could be the ship.
