Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 Big Bird excitedly welcomes the viewer and builds up they'll be doing a lot of fun things today. He runs around gathering everyone else around the street to say hello. However, by the time everyone is gathered, Big Bird is tired from all the excitement, and goes to his nest to take a nap, leaving everybody feeling awkward.
