Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird and Lexine run into Baby Bear, who's wearing a nice, new tie with a picture of a porridge bowl on it. He states his family will be visiting their grandmother, and Papa Bear will be around any moment to pick up him. The two want to say the alphabet, but Baby Bear is unsure as he doesn't want to put his tie in any harm: "Things can happen between A and Z, I mean, there's a lot of uncharted territory in there." He removes his tie and places it on the park wall so it won't get dirty as they all say the alphabet. He puts it back on, then immediately takes it off when he learns what's coming up...
