Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Telly Monster, Maria and Gabi welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street. Gabi is writing postcards to her grandparents in New Mexico and her abuela in Puerto Rico all by herself. Her postcards to her grandfathers and grandmother both read: "How are you? I'm fine. Mommy and poppy say hola. Love, Gabi." Gabi's postcards has addresses on them, but they need some postage stamps. Telly learns how a stamp is used on each one of Gabi's postcards to her grandparents and her abuela. Gabi asked Telly to put on a stamp on one of her postcards, but Telly thought he couldn't do it. Telly was nervous at first, but by wetting a stamp a little bit and putting it on one of Gabi's postcards, he finally got the hang of putting the stamps on Gabi's postcards. In fact, he decided to put stamps on everything on Sesame Street and declares himself, "Telly Monster: Stamp Putter-Onner". Maria asked, "Stamp Putter-Onner" and Gabi replies, "This should be very interesting".
