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

Zoe Pumpkin: Hey, Big Bird Yellow. Big Bird Yellow. Excuse me, Big Bird 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 Yellow: It certainly does, Zoe Pumpkin. If you put the vase on the wrong shelf, it will fall off and break.

Zoe Pumpkin: Well, which shelf is which, Big Bird Yellow?

Big Bird Yellow: (sighs) Zoe Pumpkin, 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 Pumpkin: Oh, okay. Okay, Big Bird Yellow. Figure it out. Mmm hmmm. All righty.

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

Zoe Pumpkin: 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 Yellow would probably say...

Big Bird Yellow: Zoe Pumpkin, you broke my favorite vase!

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

Big Bird Yellow: Zoe Pumpkin, get out!

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

Big Bird Yellow: Zoe Pumpkin. Well, what's the matter, Zoe Pumpkin?

Zoe Pumpkin: Oh, Big Bird Yellow, it was terrible. Terrible.

Big Bird Yellow: What? What?

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

Big Bird Yellow: Well, Zoe Pumpkin, Zoe Pumpkin, 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 Pumpkin: Oh, that, that's a good idea, Big Bird Yellow.

Big Bird Yellow: (sighs) Oh, boy.

Zoe Pumpkin: 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 Yellow would probably say...

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

Zoe Pumpkin: And you know how impulsive old buddy Big Bird 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 Yellow: Oh. Oh, hi, Zoe Pumpkin. You finally put the vase away, huh? Okay, thanks.

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

Big Bird Yellow: Wha? I what?

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

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