Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At Hooper's Store, Big Bird asks David for a ham sandwich. David serves him one, but Big Bird points out that it's square and he'd rather have them cut into rectangles, thinking it might be more delicious. David does so, but then Big Bird decides he likes triangles better; David reluctantly divides the rectangles into such. When Big Bird considers they might be better in a round shape, a frustrated David just grinds the sandwiches into a mashed pile (which Big Bird also thinks looks good).

 	SCENE 2 	Maria has just picked up Duane's cat Paquito from the vet and asks Big Bird to briefly look after him while she gets Duane. She hands Big Bird the cat's leash, instructing him not to let the cat loose. After she leaves, Big Bird doesn't think Paquito is happy wearing the collar and leash (despite Maria's warning), so he has the cat "promise" to stay put after he loosens the collar. Paquito immediately runs away after being scared off by a barking dog, and Big Bird has to act fast to figure out how to solve the problem.

Maria instantly regrets hurting his feelings, but for the time being she and Duane start looking for Paquito.
