Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird has finished making a list of things that he wants to do in life, and goes over it with David at Hooper's Store. David points out that the first item, "Grow a mustache," is impossible for a bird, so he crosses it off his list. Big Bird learns that his other plans listed such as "Get married," "Move to the North Pole," and "Build a big ranch and raise tennis shoes" are all unattainable goals (especially the latter), but David proposes that he can write a book. Since Big Bird isn't able to do all the other stuff he can't write a book about it either, so he gives up on his list and invites David to a game of stickball instead.
