SCENE 1 Big Bird welcomes the viewer to Sesame Street. He says today is a special day because it is Nursery Rhyme Day on Sesame Street. Big Bird tells that the first nursery rhyme is, Hickory Dickory Dock, but Telly isn't ready and is reading a book called How to be a Mouse. So Big Bird goes to the next nursery rhyme, Jack and Jill, which stars Slimey and Glo Worm, who are singing songs from The Sound of Music. They began to start climbing the hill, but it takes them a slow time for them to get up the hill.

SCENE 2 Big Bird goes on to the next nursery rhyme, Little Miss Muffet. Zoe plays Little Miss Muffet and Baby Bear plays the spider. At first, Zoe doesn't want to play Miss Muffet because she never had curds and whey before. Big Bird suggests to Zoe to try the food, but Baby Bear tells Zoe that she doesn't have to try it since he is going to scare her away and he will get to eat the curds and whey. When they begin the nursery rhyme, Zoe doesn't run away from Baby Bear because she tries the curds and whey and likes it. She stays and keeps on eating as Baby Bear tries to scare her. At the other nursery rhymes, Telly is still busy reading the book and the worms are still climbing up the hill.
