 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird and Snuffy show Maria the illustrated yet unfinished poem they've been coming up with about the letter D:
:D is for dalmatian, a dog who has spots
:D is for doughnut and D is for...
"... Dots!" Big Bird then states, reminded thanks to the green dots on his legs. He and the others become shocked when they see green dots all over his feet and legs - there's even one on his tail! Big Bird isn't sure what's wrong with him, so Maria decides to call Dr. Matthews to see what the issue is.
