Picture Segment Description
SCENE 1 Big Bird excitedly welcomes the viewer from his nest, and calls Susan over to talk about what will be happening today. Susan asks him to not yell so loudly, especially considering that a baby is napping in the floor above her. The same thing happens when he tries to get Gordon to help, and he and Susan ask him to quiet down again. Big Bird has an idea on how to stop speaking so loudly (and saying silly things, as people sometimes tell him).
