Air date: April 11, 2005 Written by: Tony Geiss
Healthy Moment: When coughing you must cover your mouth and when you sneeze you must cover your nose or snuffle. Richard Kind and Snuffy explaining how to do that. This can prevent germs from spreading.
SCENES: Three girls are dancing a short dance and when they are finished comes Snuffy wearing a cloud outfit. The girls say hi to him. Snuffy says also hi and continues walking on and he sings to "If I Was a Cloud in the Sky".
Snuffy wonders how he can go to the sky and he wants to be a real cloud. He tries jumping up in the sky but sure this is impossible.
Oscar ties a balloon around Slimey so he can float in the air. Count watch them during this experiment. Snuffy is watching Slimey too and he realized that he can fly with balloons too. If he ties balloons to him he can float in the sky. But unfortunately, he doesn’t have any money. The Count suggested that Snuffy can make a wish.
Snuffy accepted this and he wishes for a balloon. The Fairy Balloon Person (Richard Kind) comes to grant Snuffy’s wish. Snuffy needs 40 ballons to lift him up. But the Fairy Balloon Person says he can give him 5 balloons each time. Count counts each balloon by 5. After 20 balloons the balloon wand wasn’t working. The Fairy Balloon person must fix his wand so he had to find more balloons.
Big Bird and the Birdketeers are wondering about Snuffy’s experiment. He explained that he wishes to float to the sky and he wants to be a cloud. He sings and dances to "If I Was a Cloud in the Sky".
The Fairy Balloon Person finds 20 balloons and he comes back to add them to the other balloons to make 40 balloons. Finally Snuffy started to float through the air.
Snuffy is very happy to be in the sky with birds and clouds but finally, it’s getting cold and he feels lonely. Now he wishes to go back down again.
Snuffy would rather be a Snuffleupagus than a cloud and he realizes that everyone he loves is down on Sesame Street. Someone needs a balloon by Mister Roger’s Neighborhood and Fairy Balloon Person goes there. Finally Snuffy wishes to be a Birdketeer. He goes together with Big Bird and the Birdketeers and the Count counts their tweeting.
