Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	On Ask Oscar, Telly reads a letter with lots of "yes or no" questions. Oscar decides that being a Grouch, he will always answer each one with "no," using a sign to demonstrate it. The final question is an offer of old shoes, which Oscar realizes he's turned down by always answering "no." His previous answers about changing his mind and making mistakes also prevent him from getting the shoes.
