Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 In the Fix-It Shop, an Anything Muppet boy (Richard Hunt) has made his own letter L and shows it to Maria and the kids. He has a game to go along with it - he gives clues about different locations that begin with L and the others guess where he's referring to. When he talks about a nice place for reading, the answer turns out to not be a library, but Maria's lap.
