Episode 1565

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	On the stoop of 123 Sesame Street, Gordon shows everybody a WALK sign (which Big Bird misreads as "Constantinople"). Maria and Linda state how one would say the word in Spanish and ASL. After Big Bird asks how they'd describe a silly, duck-like walk he does, everyone takes the opportunity to do their own types of silly walks (with Linda imitating Charlie Chaplin and Maria imitating Groucho Marx). Big Bird wants everyone to see Mr. Snuffleupagus do a silly walk and darts off to retrieve him. Rather than wait around, the grown-ups and kids silly-walk their way to Hooper's Store.
 	SCENE 1 cont'd 	Big Bird brings Snuffy back to 123, only to find everyone is gone; "That's the story of my life," remarks Big Bird. He asks Snuffy to do his silly walk just for his viewing eyes, which involves Snuffy hopping around and shaking his four legs. Big Bird is very amused and invites him to silly-walk over to his nest for a cup of tea.
