Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Telly introduces his Uncle Talbot, who is selling his homemade “Happy Caps” in the yard. Talbot claims that what makes them “happy” caps is that the extra-long peak will keep one’s feet protected on a sunny day. They try to sell one to Carlo, but he’s already got a normal cap that he's satisfied with. Uncle Talbot must leave to make more caps and has Telly wear one the whole day for promotional purposes. Elmo comes by, having heard about Telly’s new cap. Telly turns to respond, but the cap’s peak whacks Elmo and knocks him out cold.

Elmo knows the answer and Telly turns to ask him what it is, knocking him down again. Elmo moans “Ohhhhh,” leading Telly to believe the letter O is the answer.
