Ruthie has set up some barriers around the Bear Family, with signs urging pedestrians to avoid walking through the area. This attracts a small crowd, who stay and watch, while a vendor sells refreshments and T-shirts for the occasion. The Bears wonder what more could possibly go wrong, when an overhead plane drops a parachuting chicken, who makes it into the next photograph. Baby Bear can't believe their horrible situation, but Papa Bear decides to turn it into a game of "One of These Things."
