Summary Big Bird observes how there may be more than one John in the world, but he's never met someone else named Big Bird. He spins a story for the kids about he got to be named Big Bird - The scene shifts to a quaint little cottage, where Big Bird's great-great-great-great-great-grandfather resides with another bird. The two don't have names, so they constantly call, "Hey, you" to get the other's attention. They try thinking of names that could differentiate the two using their physical attributes, but Big Bird's grandfather finds they are just too similar. That is, until he realizes they're different sizes. He proposes rather long names based on their sizes, then is convinced shorter names would suffice, such as Arnold or Florence.
