Ok just to recap whats been happening in the last chapter (even tho I'm contuining it from this one) but so far Big Bird which is the birds name now since they thought it has a nice ring and he was getting bigger. Bigger Bird and Taller Bird just didn't seem to fit this unqince bird so Big was his new name. Big Bird had just meet his new freind Mr. Snuffleupagus. He was a cross between a hairy elephant. We'll Big Bird had told his human freinds about his new freind. They didn't believe him. His imagaintion is what they thought it was. So he told Ernie and Bert (who were proubley only 4 or 5 years of age) that he had meet this hairy elephant too. But Bert didn't believe him. Ernie did. So they went looking for him. Lets see what Ernie and Big Bird find on the way.
Chapter 7 (continued)
As we had last lefted our story Ernie and Big Bird were looking for Mr. Snuffeupagus. They were still having no luck until they saw something over in the park. It was big, hairy, brown, black and purple. Could it be? Lets find out.
"Look Big Bird. Is that him?" said Ernie pointing over to the park.
"I think that might be him. Come on Ernie" said the excited bird.
As they got there it was nothing but a little hairy brown squirrels . They were all standing on each other trying to get some pecans and acorns form the tree.
"Do ya'll need any help? "asked Ernie putting down his rubber duckie.
"Sure if you don't mind." said squirrel # 1.
"No problem." said Ernie climbing the tree.
"You be careful Ernie. Don't want you to fall." said Big Bird read to catch him if he did.
"I won't. Don't worry." said Ernie climbing higher. "There we go. Here comes some pecans and acorns."
"Catch them sisters." said squirrel #1.
"Ok." said both of them.
Bunches of pecans and acorns came falling down and each of the squirrels catched as many as they could with out dropping them.
"Good catching sisters." said squirrel #1.
"Thank you sister. Your good too." said both of them.
"Thank ya'll for helping us out. Glad to have meet you two." said squirrel #1.
"Your welcome but Ernie did all the work. I just stood here." said the upset bird.
"No Big Bird. You were there to catch me if anything went wrong." said Ernie jumping down from the tree. "By the way, what are your names?"
"Why were the Squirrelle sisters. We lovd to sing and dance. May I ask who you two are?" asked Angela squirrel.
"I'm Ernie and this is Big Bird."
"Hello." said Big Bird.
"What were you two doing before we interuped?" asked Angela.
"We're trying to find my new friend. He's big, hairy and brown." said Big Brid.
"And a little of purple and black hairs too." added Ernie.
"Is he lost?" asked one of the sisters.
"Not that we know of but could you help us?" asked Ernie.
"I'm afried not. Our mother doesn't want us adventuring off just yet but we could do a song for ya'll." said Angela.
"Uh we really need to keep looking for my friend." said Big Bird.
"Come on Big. We could just hear this one song. It won't hurt to just take a little break." said Ernie pleading.
"Oh.....ok." said Big Bird.
(music starts and they start singing)
Angela: Got a brand new dance that I'm nuts about
Squirrelles: (A new dance that she's nuts about)
Angela: Well, first you suck your cheeks in
Then ya puff 'em out
Squirrelles: (Suck in your cheeks; then ya puff 'em out)
Angela: Raise one hand, then the other
Like you're climbin' a tree
Yeah, pretend that you're a squirrel
It's the thing to be!
Come on and take a chance
And do a Silly Squirrel Dance with me!
Squirrelles: (Squirrel Dance with me!)
Angela: Now give your tail a shake
And then you shout "Yahoo!"
Squirrelles: (Shake it, baby, and shout "Yahoo!")
Angela: Hey, if you don't have a tail
Then your leg will do
Squirrelles: (Don't need a tail, your leg will do!)
Angela: Now hop on one foot
Then collapse on the floor
Come on, everybody, whatcha waitin' for?
It's time to take a chance
And do a Silly Squirrel Dance with me!
Squirrelles: (Squirrel Dance with me!)
Angela: While you're lyin' on your back
Start to rub your tummy
This dance'll make you happy
When you're feelin' crummy
Stick your thumbs in your ears
And wiggle your fingers and shout:
Angela and Squirrelles: "The Squirrelles are our favorite singers!"
Big Bird and Ernie: "The Squirrelles are our favorite singers!"
Angela and the Squirrelles: Thank you!
Angela: Now our dance is nearly done
There's not much left to do
Squirrelles: (There's really not much left to do)
Angela: Except to get back on your feet
And take a bow or two!
Squirrelles: (Back on your feet and take a bow or two!)
Angela: We had such a good time
We don't wanna stop!
So, once again, let's rub and puff
And climb and hop!

Angela: Come on and take a chance
Squirrelles: (And do a Silly Squirrel Dance!)
Angela: Come on and take a chance
Squirrelles: (And do a Silly Squirrel Dance!)
(music stops)
"Ya'll were great." said Ernie clapping really hard.
"That was good. I liked it more then the # 4." said Big Bird.
"Thanks ya'll for staying and helping us young squirrels out. Glad ya'll liked it." said Angela.
"Come back anytime." said the two squirrels.
"They were great. Don't you think Big?" asked Erine.
"Yea I guess." said the upset bird.
"Don't tell me you didn't like them? Did you?" asked Ernie again.
"It's not that. I miss my new best freind and we can't find him." said Bird starting to cry.
"Don't cry Big Bird. We'll find him. I promise. If my isn't Erniestine." said Ernie waving his rubber ducky in the air.
"Thank you Ernie. I'm glad to be your friend. Wait?" said Bird starting to get confused. "How can I be yours and Mr. Snuffleupagus friends?"
"What are you talking about? We can be friends and so can Mr. Snuflupig. Even I can be friends with him." said Ernie.
"So I can still be your friend and Mr. Snuffleupagus ?" said Big Bird "Thats Snuffleupagus. Not Snuffleupagus."
"Yep and sorry I'm only 4 years old." said Ernie. Lets call it a day and go back. I'm hungry."
"Me too." siad Big Bird.
So another day was up and gone. Big Brid and Ernie had a full day of adventruing but didn't close to finding Big Bird's new friend. They did meet some other freinds which they don't know just yet will become famous singers later on. That concluds this chapter for the time being. Can't wait for more to come? Then wait and see what else happens on the street with new hope and dreams to come. Stay tuned.
