Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Luis puts up a new "Se Habla Español" sign in the Fix-It Shop window, then goes in to start fixing Big Bird's toy racing car. Big Bird, with Radar, comes over to check on his car when he sees the sign. He knows it's Spanish but has forgotten the exact meaning. He believes it's Spanish for "barber shop," "fish store," or whatever new type of store the Fix-It Shop must have become. Luis clarifies the meaning for him and Big Bird is relieved, claiming that Radar was the one that got confused.
