Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Forgetful Jones is helping Susan fix the flat tire on her Volkswagen Beetle. She explains how one gets a flat tire and the process one takes to replace it. She then discovers her spare tire is also flat. Forgetful offers to get another tire from Clementine's place, but returns with a donut, then a record. He finally retrieves what he know will help - Luis. He offers to take the flat tire down to the nearby service station to get it patched up. Forgetful takes a break to eat his donut and listen to the record (by placing it up to his ear).

 	SCENE 2 	Susan has to phone Gordon and let him know she can't pick him up from work today. Big Bird happens by and wonders why Susan is taking the car off the jack for now. She has him imagine what might happen with all the kids (and Snuffleupaguses) running around the street; they could knock into it and cause some damage. Big Bird offers to guard the car while she's gone, and Susan even offers to have him help put the new tire on later.

 	SCENE 3 	Luis returns with the spare tire, but Big Bird tells him the jack is locked in the trunk for now. Luis goes to get some coffee at Hooper's Store while Susan is on the phone, and asks Big Bird to watch the tire while he's gone. Big Bird wishes he could help in some manner, when Mr. Snuffleupagus happens in. He claims his daddy works as a car mechanic and they can all surprise Susan by replacing the tire.

 	SCENE 4 	Snuffy's dad is now on the street, lifting the car up with his snuffle. He rests it back down, having now replaced the tire. He tells Big Bird it's no charge - "Any friend of my son's is a friend of mine." Big Bird clarifies that Snuffy has never met Susan and his dad finds it amusing that he's yet to be seen since he's around the street so often. Snuffy's dad ironically can't stay around to be seen either, having other jobs to do. Luis and Susan return, surprised to see the tire has been fixed. They don't believe Big Bird's story about help from a Snuffleupagus, but can't muster any logical explanation for what they see.

 	SCENE 6 	Susan and Luis come across Snuffy's giant pencil on the block. Again, Big Bird tries to explain the source, which they find ridiculous. They still can't think of a logical explanation for it, so they let Big Bird have it for now. As they go off, Big Bird announces the sponsors. Snuffy then reappears, asking the viewer if they've seen his pencil. After the CTW mention, Big Bird gives it back to him (unseen to the viewer).
