Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Everybody at Camp Echo Rock Cabin 10 is busy cleaning up the place while Aunt Mae does her special inspections to make sure everything is neat and in order. Big Bird and the kids fix their beds (and nest) neatly, but Rusty is the only one who hasn't done so. Mickey gets the feeling that Rusty doesn't know how to make his bed and he and the group stall Aunt Mae long enough to get Rusty's bed looking the same as everybody else's. Aunt Mae finally conducts her inspection of Cabin 10 and finds it very well done... especially Rusty's bed.

	SCENE 2	Back on Sesame Street, Telly tells Oscar about how he misses Big Bird. He worries that Big Bird might be lonely or get lost.
