Picture Segment Description
0081 01
SCENE 1 Big Bird has to carry a lot of balloons over to Hooper's Store. He thinks that instead of bringing them one by one, he can put all the balloons into a nearby box. He leaves the box at Hooper's, not realizing that the box is bottomless. Bob and Sally corral the fallen balloons near the steps, and when Big Bird comes back, he's surprised when he sees balloons still there, assuming they're the ones he missed. He puts those in another bottomless box as well. Susan sees the balloons and gathers them in one place again. When Big Bird comes back, Susan finally points out to him that she threw those boxes out. Big Bird then has an idea: tape the lids of the box together to make it the bottom. (Big Bird: "Wait until I tell Buddy how smart I am.")
