Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At the Fix-It Shop, Big Bird and Gabi introduce today's special visitor - the mouse (David Rudman) from "Hickory Dickory Dock," complete with clock. He performs his nursery rhyme, but when the clock strikes one, it breaks. Gabi calls over Luis to fix it, but he isn't sure it's within his knowledge.
