Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly prepares Elmo to welcome the viewer, but Elmo doesn't know what the word "welcome" means. Telly finds he can't describe what it means to him, so he runs off to find someone who can help him. After he leaves, Elmo greets a teen girl (Nora Brady), who thanks him for the kind welcome. She helps him understand what a "welcome" is and Elmo waits for Telly to return, cueing a song from Kermit the Frog in the meantime...
 	Muppets 	Kermit sings "The Frogs in the Glen."
 	SCENE 1 cont'd 	Elmo liked the song (and the cute froggies) when Telly returns. He claims he consulted Big Bird, Ernie, Cookie Monster, and Mr. Snuffleupagus, none of whom could tell him what "welcome" means. Although Elmo already has the information, he lets Telly run off again, thinking he could use the exercise. Elmo presents a film while he waits...
 	Film 	The Steam Shovel
 	SCENE 1 cont'd 	Elmo found the steam shovel cute too. Telly rushes back out of breath, and has talked with even more friends (Grover, Herry, Gladys the Cow, Oscar, and Prairie Dawn). He claims Buster the Horse finally was able to give him the definition, but Elmo recites it before Telly can. Elmo explains what happened while Telly was gone and Telly passes out. Elmo revives him briefly to ask what that action means, too.
