• Susan calls Gordon from Hooper's Store and asks him to describe their platter so she can buy another one that matches it.

• Oscar the Grouch, in Hooper's to enjoy a cup of hot lettuce, is crowded by some letters left over after Mr. Hooper made a "SALE" sign. Mr. Hooper gives Oscar the letters--L, B, O, I, V, G, and E.
