Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird stops by Hooper's Store to ask "Mr. Dooper" for something. Tired of Big Bird always mispronouncing his name, Mr. Hooper produces two cards and has Big Bird read them. One has a letter H, and the other says "OOPER"; by blending them together, Big Bird reads the word "HOOPER." After the lesson, Big Bird orders a bag of chocolate birdseed and remembers to thank "Mr. Dooper" for it.

 	SCENE 1cont'd	Mr. Hooper gives Big Bird Tracy's hula hoop, because “hoop” is the first part of “Hooper.” He instructs Big Bird to look down at what he's holding, which will remind him of his correct name. Big Bird remembers to call him “Hooper” while he’s holding the hoop, but when the store phone rings and he answers it, Big Bird gives it to “Mr. Telephone.”
