Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly Monster studies his "Spanish for Monsters" book and learns the different ways of greeting someone in the morning, afternoon, and night. The book gives the friendly suggestion of using them when meeting to a Spanish-speaking individual today. Maria comes by to open the Fix-It Shop and Telly greets her with "buenos dias." He then tries to greet her with "buenas tardes," but Maria tells him that that phrase applies to the afternoon; it's still the morning. Telly frets that he must follow the book's recommendation of using all the vocabulary today.

==Notes==
*In a scene originally scripted, but later cut, Susan and the kids check out a presentation of Slimey's newest photography pieces. However, because he is so small, all the photos are at foot-level. They correctly guess the feet of Susan, Snuffy, Big Bird, and Barkley, before they see a picture of the empty sidewalk - a "self-portrait" of Slimey since he has no feet to capture.Tony Geiss Papers at the Beinecke Rare Book & Manuscript Library, Yale University
