Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Bob helps Big Bird clean up his nest area for an upcoming visit from Granny Bird today. He can't wait to do the activities they love to do together, like read stories, have homemade birdseed brownies, and play football (the non-tackling kind). Big Bird's phone rings and he answers it: it's Granny Bird with some bad news - her plane has been delayed and she may not make it at all. Big Bird becomes very sad, but Bob leaves to fetch something that should cheer him up.
