Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird and Maria welcome the viewer when they come across Piri looking at the "Hooper's Store" sign, wondering why David's store would be called such. Big Bird doesn't understand why Piri can't remember Mr. Hooper, not taking into consideration the fact that he has only been on Sesame Street for a short time. After being reminded that Mr. Hooper died before Piri moved in, Big Bird shares a few memories and describes his old friend as being "like everybody's grandpa." Piri expresses an interest in learning about him, and Maria suggests Big Bird take him to his nest to show some of the special things he has to let him know what Mr. Hooper was like.
