Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Big Bird teases that some special guests will be visiting the street today. He reads a book of "Little Miss Muffet," then announces Miss Muffet and the Spider will be their special guests, performing a live version of their nursery rhyme! Miss Muffet (Fran Brill) arrives to thunderous applause, but she has some news to report - Stanley, the spider, isn't coming; he's out of town taking a vacation (his first in 25 years). Big Bird is disappointed and suggests she perform the rhyme solo. She points out that she can't frighten herself, so Big Bird confirms that if he can find a new spider, the nursery rhyme can continue as planned.
