Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Rafael (Reuben Figueroa) is walking his dog in the arbor where Mr. Hooper has brought the dog some water. Gordon asks him how much he walks his dog and what he has to do to take care of him.
	Song	Joe Raposo sings "What Are Kids Called?" (First: Episode 0116)
	SCENE 2	Oscar the Grouch enters Hooper's Store and orders a strawberry soda. Mr. Hooper is confused because he usually orders something like a pickle soda with butterscotch sauce and grated cheese on top, so he asks who it's for. Oscar says nevermind, and tells him to just make the drink. As Mr. Hooper complies, Oscar asks about Rafael's dog and where he got a name for his pet. Once the soda is ready, Oscar leaves Hooper's Store and promises to return the glass later.
	Cartoon	Letter U salesman
	SCENE 3	Gordon and Mr. Hooper have been discussing Oscar's unusual order, so they walk over to his trash can to find out what's up. Oscar reveals that the strawberry soda is for his new pet; if Rafael can have a pet dog, he can have a pet, too. Mr. Hooper and Gordon have to guess what kind of a pet he is, though, explaining that he found him in the mud and that he sleeps in a box six inches long with the name Slimey written on it. Once his pet has finished the soda, Oscar reveals that it's a worm, and invites him to come up from the trash can to meet his neighbors. Gordon can't believe that Oscar made a dumb worm his pet; Oscar proves him wrong by demonstrating that Slimey knows math and forms the letter U for umbrella. Oscar asks for another strawberry soda for Slimey, and Mr. Hooper says, "there's one thing I've always said: show me a worm who knows what letter the word umbrella begins with, and I'll get him an ice cream soda."
