Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 Gordon sets down a bucket of water to clean the windows of 123 Sesame Street and asks Big Bird to watch it for him while he goes back in for some cleaning rags. Mr. Snuffleupagus comes along with a case of the hiccups, which Big Bird says can be cured with a glass of water, so Snuffy empties the bucket with his snuffle. He still has the hiccups, so Big Bird suggests that lying down might help. Snuffy leaves as Gordon returns, asking what happened to the water in the bucket. "I was afraid you were going to ask that," Big Bird sighs.
