Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	After Gordon welcomes the viewer, he encounters Mr. MacIntosh selling Big Bird an ear of corn. However, Big Bird doesn't see it as corn because it's green, and corn is supposed to be yellow. Gordon explains to Big Bird that the yellow pieces on a corncob are called kernels, and the outside green part is called the husk. Big Bird now wants the corn, but doesn't want to throw away the husk. He remarks, "You take it, and you line your nest with it, and you sit in a nice, cool, green, soft corn husk, while you eat your corn!"
