Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Oscar the Grouch prefers his own, battered seesaw to the functional one that Chris and Jerome are using in the yard. Susan tells him how a proper see-saw works, and Oscar reluctantly agrees that it looks more fun. He offers Susan to sit on the other end of his seesaw. Even though she warns that she's heavier than him, she sits on the other end and launches Oscar into the air. He crash lands in front of 123 Sesame Street, eager for another go.

 	SCENE 2 	Big Bird has ordered a set of stairs to help him get into his nest, but isn't sure how to put the three pieces together. He declines Luis' help and shuffles through several configurations of the parts (at one point through fast-motion). He inadvertently sets up two pieces correctly, but is too tired to notice or even move the third piece. He asks Luis to set it down somewhere, so he puts it right on top of the other parts. Big Bird scales the new stairs into his nest for a nap, still unaware of their formation.
