SCENE 1 | Big Bird stops by Hooper's Store to ask "Mr. Dooper" for something. Tired of Big Bird always mispronouncing his name, Mr. Hooper produces two cards and has Big Bird read them. One has a letter H, and the other says "OOPER"; by blending them together, Big Bird reads the word "HOOPER." After the lesson, Big Bird orders a bag of chocolate birdseed and remembers to thank "Mr. Dooper" for it. |
