Picture Segment Description

SCENE 1 Gordon takes in the early morning on Sesame Street, sipping some orange juice and listeining to the birds singing as he receives the newspaper delivery from Gavin. Similarly, Oscar enjoys some pickle juice and receives his paper from a cranky newsboy (Richard Hunt), telling the birds to cut out the racket. Oscar's paper is also more negative than Gordon's, since he's reading a Grouch newspaper instead, and Gordon admires how people with different interests and outlooks can learn to live together.
