Big Bird brings Luis a floppy disk to load on the computer in the Fix-It Shop while Snuffy looks on from outside (he couldn't fit through the door). The disk contains an encyclopedia of "upagusses" which Big Bird finds fascinating. Snuffy feels as though his own variation of an upagus — the snuffleu Snuffy returns dressed as a bunny betting on Big Bird confusing him for one of the other upagusses.
