Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria, David, Gordon, and the kids pester Oscar the Grouch at his can about helping them teach the audience the concept of big, bigger, and biggest, but he's not having it. In response, he produces a sign he's made with a definitive answer to their plea: "NO". They continue to urge him on, asking for his help, so Oscar emerges from his can with a bigger sign to help send the same message. Still his neighbors persist, so Oscar reveals the biggest sign of the three to really drive home his response. They all thank him and explain that he's inadvertently helped them teach big, bigger, and biggest after all.

He spots Maria in the yard taking a nap in a chair and notes that her shoelaces are untied, which is very dangerous. As she sleeps, he attempts to tie her laces, but finds that it's more difficult than he realized, and ties her shoes together in several knots. When she wakes up, she says she loosened her laces to relax, but intended to tie them again after her nap. Grover explains that he's done this for her, so she gathers her books and begins to continue on with her day, but stumbles and falls.
