Episode 2411

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird observes Maria and Luis in the yard, casually reminding the viewer that they're in love. Luis tries to teach Maria his T'ai Chi exercises, but she doesn't want to do it. This leads Big Bird to think that they can't be in love because they don't want to do the same thing. Maria and Luis reassure him that they still love each other and explain that people don't always have to do or like the same things to be in love.
