SCENE 1
Mr. Handford and some kids welcome the viewer to Sesame Street, when Mr. Handford notices Chicago the Lion looking very sad. He's sad because he's small and he eats vegetables, which makes him different from all other lions. Mr. Handford points out that Chicago is also friendly, gentle, and can talk, which makes him special. Chicago lets out a proud roar, now that he's aware of how accepted he is.

SCENE 3
Monty introduces an exciting movie, "The Adventures of the Pineapple Dentist." Prairie Dawn is confused, because as she shows Monty and the kids, pineapples don't have teeth, and thus do not need dentists. Instead, Monty introduces a different film, with a llama dentist. Llamas have teeth, so this one makes more sense.
