Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird and Snuffy are hosts of "The Alphabet Game," where contestants can win prizes for saying the alphabet. Gordon, the first involuntary contestant, has to say the alphabet with one hand behind his back and one eye closed, while dancing with a chicken ... in about 15 seconds. This is difficult for him, because he's carrying a grocery bag, but he takes on the task anyway, and wins dancing lessons with the chicken.
