Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Luis is swamped with work at the Fix-It Shop, and Maria is too busy reading her book - The Adventures of Captain Swashbuckle - to help.

 	SCENE 2 	While fixing Big Bird's record player, Luis tells him of a story he's reading about Captain Swashbuckle, a pirate. He tells Big Bird a synopsis of what he's read so far, but Big Bird throws several ideas what happens next, such as Swashbuckle having run-ins with a giant fish and bird. Luis reads him the remainder of the story: Captain Swashbuckle is sailing in a storm, when Luis' phone rings, and he must put the story on hold. Big Bird then thinks up the obvious ending - the bad guys call Swashbuckle and call off the fight because of rain.
