Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Big Bird is exercising in the yard when he addresses the viewer: "Sometimes I wonder what it would be like to be really strong, like Wonder Woman or Herry Monster." He then imagines himself as Superbird, with a deep superhero voice and wearing a cape, gloves, and chest emblem. He carries a pile of bricks to Olivia, karate-chops some boards for her shelves, and opens a peanut butter jar for David. Back in reality, Misha asks Big Bird for his help opening a jar of pickles. Big Bird is surprised to think he can help, but he removes the lid with ease. "Maybe I'm not Superbird, but I'm a lot stronger than I thought I was!" he exclaims.
