Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Walking towards Hooper's Store, Big Bird wonders what it would be like to be short. When he enters, Mr. Hooper is standing on a stool to feather-dust the top of the wall, making him look taller than Big Bird. Big Bird then sees Bob and Susan hanging clothes on a line, making them look taller. Big Bird fears that he is shrinking, but Bob and Susan reassure him that they’re still the same sizes, even when they stand on a box. Big Bird then passes by Gordon painting the bottom of the 123 building, and tells him “It’s okay if you’re short; you’re still my friend!”
