Big Bird and the broken rollerskates
We know that Big Bird really loves his rollerskates, but what would the reaction be if he couldn't use them for a long time and had to be really patient? It would be good if he could be paired up with Mark.
Something that came to mind is Big Bird would be seen skating like normal, but then he had a really nasty fall and his skates would be broken.
Big Bird (singing): La la la la la! Oh hi! I really love rollerskating, don't you? I sure do!
He is then seen skating for a few minutes, then falls down.
Big Bird: Ow! Luis! Maria! Come help! I fell down and my rollerskates might be broken.
Big Bird moans, muttering for either Luis or Maria to come over.
Mark then comes over to Big Bird.
Mark: Hello!
Big Bird: You're not Maria or Luis. Who are you?
Mark: I'm Mark. What's your name?
Big Bird: Oh hi. My name is Big Bird. It's nice to meet you Mark.
Mark: You too Big Bird. What's the matter?
Big Bird: Well, I was rollerskating and took a really big fall. My rollerskates ended up hitting the floor, so they broke.
Mark: Let me help you up onto a chair and I'll see if I can get my dad to fix those for you.
Big Bird: But you're so small, and I'm big.
Mark: That's okay. Here, take my hand and I'll sit you right down.
Mark then sits Big Bird down in a chair.
Mark: There you go. Let me get my dad real quick.
Tim Taylor is then seen talking to Big Bird, while Mark talks to his mom Jill.
Tim: Sorry about your rollerskates Big Bird. I have to deal with a lot of that kind of broken stuff when working with tools.
Big Bird: You work with tools?
Tim: Yes I do. And a lot of times, there is something called accidents.
Big Bird: Oh I've had plenty of accidents before, believe me. But I learned that everybody makes mistakes, and it's not just me you know.
Tim Taylor: And it's okay to make mistakes Big Bird, that's how we all are in life. Now let me have your rollerskates and I'll take them to the Fix It Shop so they can be fixed.
Big Bird: But Maria and Luis run the Fix It Shop, not you.
Tim Taylor: I'm great friends with both of them, so they asked me and my wife to run the store while they are away in Puerto Rico and New Mexico visiting friends along with family.
Big Bird: I thought you worked with just tools.
Tim: I do, but there's other stuff that I fix as well.
Big Bird hands Tim his rollerskates over
Tim: Now Big Bird, it's going to be a long time until you can use your rollerskates again. So why don't you come inside and meet my other boys along with Jill?
Big Bird: But I want to skate again!
Tim: But Big Bird, look at your nasty fall. You got hurt really badly.
Big Bird turns to Tim with an upset look on his face
Tim: Don't be upset Big Bird and try not to cry, because everything is going to be alright.
Big Bird: You're right. Everything will be A-Okay.
Tim holds Big Bird's hand and walks into the house
