SCENE 1 Big Bird gives a demonstration of same and different with Telly's help. Both of Telly's arms are the same in a few ways - they both have fuchsia fur, elbows, and fingers. But they are also different, because he broke his right arm a few weeks ago, and it's been in a cast up until now, so it's not as strong as his left arm, as he shows when he has difficulty picking up a brick. His arms will be the same in every way one of these days, but for now, Big Bird points out another difference: his de-casted arm is getting its own party today!

SCENE 3 Luis encounters Telly, and asks him about his day. Telly's arm is still weak and stiff, and he's worried that it'll never get better. Luis tells him that he had the same concerns when he broke his arm, but it eventually healed up, and now it looks normal. Telly now feels better, until Taina invites him to play Triangle Tag -- since he broke his arm that way, he's concerned about playing again, but decides to do so anyway.
