Description 
|-
| style="text-align: center"|
| style="text-align: center"|Big Bird goes for a walk and greets everyone he meets, singing "Walking Down My Street." He passes Hooper's Store, the Furry Arms Hotel, Gina's Day Care Center, Finders Keepers, Celina's Dance Studio, the playground, and Oscar's newsstand. 
|-
| style="text-align: center"|
| style="text-align: center"|As he finishes the song, Big Bird returns to his nest and gazes outside. "Sesame Street," he sighs. "Not just a street. A way of life. Home."

| style="text-align: center"|Big Bird takes another walk around the corner, and finds a sad little boy. He's sad because he's moving to Sesame Street; his family is staying at the Furry Arms until they find a place. Big Bird doesn't understand why the boy is sad. Sesame Street is a great place - but to the boy, it's not home. He shows Big Bird a picture of him and his best friend, Elizabeth. Big Bird understands how the boy feels about moving away from his best friend - after all, Big Bird would be sad if Snuffy moved away. 
|-
| style="text-align: center"|
| style="text-align: center"|Even though Big Bird is no replacement for Elizabeth, the boy, who introduces himself as "Jerome", agrees to be friends with Big Bird. Big Bird offers to show Jerome around Sesame Street - they have lots of nice people, and even seals. Jerome agrees.
