Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Bob works on his stamp collection in the yard, when Big Bird arrives. He cites how clumsy Bob can be and brings some pillows he can wear in case Bob drops something on himself. Bob tries to assure him that something simple as pasting stamps can't be dangerous, but Big Bird doubles down and brings a telephone to call a doctor (as well as a phone book in case he doesn't know the number), and finally brings Susan in case he can't reach a doctor right away. Bob has become frustrated by Big Bird's planning and insists nothing will go wrong, pounding the table in frustration. When it collapses on him, Bob injures his leg and Susan goes into triage mode while Big Bird goes to call the doctor.
