Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At Hooper's Store, Forgetful Jones struggles to remember some important information, but he succeeds: he remembers to say "Howdy" to the viewer, the street's name, his name, and that he's supposed to show the viewer around Sesame Street today! Linda comes by to congratulate his rare instance of excellent memory in sign language. Forgetful then manages to remember the next sketch on the show, which he says involves Ernie, Bert, some apples, and a large boat...
