Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird welcomes the viewer, and points out that Bob is trying to get Alice to sit still and take her nap while her mother is out shopping. Big Bird thinks a bedtime poem will get her to nap, saying it's a trick that his Granny Bird used. He reads her the one he wrote, but Alice prefers to play tag and runs off.

 	SCENE 2 	Big Bird follows Alice into Hooper's Store after reading the poem for the fourth time. She gets thirsty, so Bob almost gives her a big bowl of water when Big Bird notes that they should use a bigger bowl for the amount of water a Snuffleupagus needs. While Bob tries reading the poem again, Big Bird fetches the bowl that Alice's mom left with them, fills it with water using a hose, and brings it into the store; Bob says it's the biggest bowl he's ever seen. After Alice drinks the water, she almost settles down to sleep but now needs to use the bathroom.
