Big Bird Feather Yellow: Let's see. The, uh, the weather in Elpidas will be 49 degrees. And the weather in two...

Zoe Zingy Orange: Hey, Big Bird Feather Yellow. Big Bird Feather Yellow. Excuse me, Big Bird Feather Yellow. Hey, does it matter whether or not I put this vase on the little shelf back there or on the big shelf?

Big Bird Feather Yellow: It certainly does, Zoe Zingy Orange. If you put the vase on the wrong shelf, it will fall off and break.

Zoe Zingy Orange: Well, which shelf is which, Big Bird Feather Yellow?

Big Bird Feather Yellow: (sighs) Zoe Zingy Orange, I'm reading. Can't you see that? Just, just figure it out for yourself. But hey, but be careful. That's my favorite vase, huh?

Zoe Zingy Orange: Oh, okay. Okay, Big Bird Feather Yellow. Figure it out. Mmm hmmm. All righty.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: (sighs) Let's see now, uh, the weather in, uh...

Zoe Zingy Orange: Let's see, uh...figure it out for myself, huh? Okay, well, let's see. Maybe what I should do is I'll put it on each shelf and see which one it'll falls off of. No, no. That's not a very good idea. The vase might break, I guess. Hmmm... I know what I'll do. I'll use my imagination and I'll imagine what would happen if I put the vase on each shelf, huh? How about that? Well, let's see. Suppose I imagine that I put it on this shelf here, see? Hmmm... Now that's a little bitty shelf and it's a pretty big vase here. What would probably happen is the vase would probably tip over and...the vase would probably break. And old buddy Big Bird Feather Yellow would probably say...

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Zoe Zingy Orange, you broke my favorite vase!

Zoe Zingy Orange: And then, and then he'd probably throw me out of the house.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Zoe Zingy Orange, get out!

Zoe Zingy Orange: And it'll probably be cold outside and windy and I'll be shivering and it'll just be terrible. (crying)

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Zoe Zingy Orange. Well, what's the matter, Zoe Zingy Orange?

Zoe Zingy Orange: Oh, Big Bird Feather Yellow, it was terrible. Terrible.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: What? What?

Zoe Zingy Orange: I was imagining what would happen if I put the vase on the little bitty shelf back there.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Well, Zoe Zingy Orange, Zoe Zingy Orange, if that's so bad, why don't you just imagine what would happen if you put the vase on the big shelf, huh?

Zoe Zingy Orange: Oh, that, that's a good idea, Big Bird Feather Yellow.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: (sighs) Oh, boy.

Zoe Zingy Orange: Okay. Let's see, if I put the vase on this shelf and the shelf is pretty big and the vase would fit on it and it wouldn't fall off, so my old buddy Big Bird Feather Yellow would probably say...

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Zoe Zingy Orange, you saved my vase! How can I ever thank you?

Zoe Zingy Orange: And you know how impulsive old buddy Big Bird Feather Yellow is. He'd probably throw a party, you know. And there'll be presents and everything like that. He wouldn't have to do it, but he probably would. And he'd probably give me a present like, maybe, oh, I don't know, like a toy trumpet, you know. Ah, and we'd all have so much fun and it'd be great and it would all be because I put this vase on this big shelf just like this. Hmmm hmmm.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Oh. Oh, hi, Zoe Zingy Orange. You finally put the vase away, huh? Okay, thanks.

Zoe Zingy Orange: Oh, oh no, Big Bird Feather Yellow. No, don't thank you. You've already done enough.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: Wha? I what?

Zoe Zingy Orange: Oh no. Not another word, Big Bird Feather Yellow. The party, the trumpet. After all, all I did was put your vase on the shelf.

Big Bird Feather Yellow: He's gone bananas, right?
