And a girl thinks a square makes a good picture frame. Then along hops a light blue-colored monster with a red winter cap, who proceeds to eat the bridgekeeper's square, the better to satisfy his daily diet of "three square meals."

 * Little Bo Peep shows up at the lost and found, looking for her sheep. The clerk, a Fat Blue live hand Anything Muppet, asks her for a description, but she keeps forgetting important details.
