Mr. Snuffleupagus has the sniffles and Big Bird is on his way to Snuffy's cave to cheer him up. Along the way, everybody that Big Bird meets gives him a cheer-up present to bring to Snuffy. Oscar gives him a jar of sardine-and-sauerkraut soup, Bert loans Snuffy his bottlecap collection and Cookie Monster contributes a box of cookie crumbs. Betty Lou, the Count and Gladys the Cow also have presents for Snuffy. When Big Bird gets to Snuffy's cave, he feels embarrassed -- everyone has a present for Snuffy and he forgot to bring anything himself. Plus, he's left a trail of dripping ice cream everywhere. However, Snuffy tells Big Bird that visiting him is a good enough gift.
