 * David and Big Bird try to say a tongue-twister: "Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers." Big Bird makes a lot of mistakes.


 * Sesame Street News Flash: Kermit the Frog reports from Gepetto's workshop, the home of the world-famous wooden toy Pinocchio. Pinocchio demonstrates how he can make his nose grow longer by telling lies. He tells so many crazy stories that his nose pushes Kermit through the wall.


 * Ernie and Bert: Ernie finds a big yellow ball, which belongs to Herry Monster.


 * Luis demonstrates the meaning of EXIT in Spanish by placing a sign reading "SALIDA" above an invisible door.


 * Ernie and Bert: Ernie has heard that somebody in the neighborhood is sick. He looks in a medical book to find out how to tell if someone is sick... not realizing that Bert is the one with a cold.


 * Ernie and Bert: Ernie has a licorice whip that he offers to share with Bert. He divides the licorice in half with a pair of scissors, but then discovers that Bert's half is longer than his. He cuts off a little bit of Bert's half, and eats it. Then he discovers that his own half is longer than Bert's, and that's not fair, so he cuts a bit off of his own, and eats it. Ernie goes back and forth, shaving off more and more, until the licorice whip is gone.
