Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria reads Big Bird and Radar the story of The Sad King Pierre, a book told in rhyme that's also Radar's favorite. The titular king (Jerry Nelson) is always feeling sad, and tells his subjects to bring something that might make him feel better. They bring in a chair, a square, and a hamburger (medium rare), but nothing lifts the king's spirits. Finally, a little boy (David Rudman) brings him a small teddy bear that makes him happy. Big Bird has Radar dance for joy and ask for Maria to read the story again.
