Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 Big Bird starts to sing a song to himself in the park, but is interrupted by Prairie Dawn who needs it to be quiet so she can concentrate on writing her latest pageant. Big Bird finds the park to be the perfect place as so many things around are quiet, like the breeze, butterflies, and birds twittering. However, a park gardener (Kevin Clash) comes by with his lawnmower, planning to mow the park for hours. Prairie asks Big Bird where she can find a place that's quiet.
