Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Big Bird and Snuffy arrive back from a Shirley Temple movie, but Snuffy is feeling low. He lets out a sneeze, which creates a large wind down Sesame Street. He admits he's not feeling well and his tummy aches. Big Bird tries to inspect, but can't view his tummy through his mouth. Snuffy lets out a second, large sneeze (Big Bird: "Wow Snuffy, when you sneeze, you don't foxtrot."). Big Bird deduces his friend is sick and tells him to stay put while he goes to get an adult. Snuffy heads for home, hoping his mommy will be able to help him.
	SCENE 1 cont'd	Big Bird describes Snuffy's condition to Bob, Linda and Maria, who confirm the symptoms are that of being sick. Maria convinces the other two grown-ups to follow Big Bird back to his nest to see Snuffy. As usual, they find an empty nest area. Big Bird heads for his cave, following Maria's suggestion he might be there.
