Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Gordon sets down a bucket of water to clean the windows of 123 Sesame Street and asks Big Bird to watch it for him while he goes back in for some cleaning rags. Mr. Snuffleupagus comes along with a case of the hiccups, which Big Bird says can be cured with a glass of water, so Snuffy empties the bucket with his snuffle. He still has the hiccups, so Big Bird suggests that lying down might help. Snuffy leaves as Gordon returns, asking what happened to the water in the bucket. "I was afraid you were going to ask that," Big Bird sighs.

 	Muppets 	Marshal Grover asks Fred the Wonder Horse why he's walking backwards -- he can only see where he's been, and not where he's going. He also wants to know what happened to Fred's head. Fred explains that Marshal Grover doesn't know the difference between front and back. "That is a terrible, mean, cruel thing to say to me, Fred!" Marshal Grover exclaims. "It is true, but..." Fred tells Grover that he's facing backward, and if he turns around, he'll see Fred's head. Grover turns around, and cries: "Oh, Fred! I've missed you! Oh, it's good to see you!" Fred says that if he stays turned around, he'll be able to see where he's going. Grover tries it, and he's proud to know the difference between front and back. Unfortunately, now his head is resting on the saddle, with his feet in the air.
