Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	David, Bob, Maria and Susan try to count and stack boxes with the help of Jay and the other kids, but Big Bird knocks them over while looking for Alphabet Bates. They point out that since Big Bird is looking down, he's unlikely to see him as Alphabet Bates is usually flying up through the sky in his plane. They stack the boxes again, but Big Bird knocks them over again while looking up. They now suggest that Big Bird listen for the sound of Bates' plane, preferably somewhere not so close to the boxes.
