SCENE 1 | In the morning, Big Bird and Mr. Snuffleupagus wake up from their sleepover and notice Ruby nearby wearing a blindfold. She tells them she's conducting another experiment: she wants to see if she'll know when the sun comes up without seeing it. They don't think her experiment will work because you can't hear, smell, or taste the sun, but they start to feel warm, which means they can tell when the sun is up! |
