Episode 1973

Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird drops by into Hooper's Store early in the morning and asks why David is there so early. He claims he's usually up early, but likes to come into store first thing and refill all the salt, pepper, and sugar shakers. Big Bird thinks the job must take hours, believing David has put the grains in through the holes in the top. David won't tell him the right answer and tells him to figure it out. Big Bird believes that he either smashes the shaker then glues it together, puts the shaker into the salt container and shakes it about until the salt goes inside, or he just buys a brand-new filled shaker of salt. David finally shows him that he simply removes the top. Big Bird assumes this principle also applies to tubes of toothpaste, but not even David has an answer to this.
