Big Bird, who isn't watching where he was going, accidentally walks into the laundry line belonging to Susan. After knocking the laundry all over the ground, Big Bird is worried about how angry Susan will get, and attempts to think up several lies to use, such as a flock of geese knocking down the clothesline, a runaway giraffe getting tangled up in it, the fire department accidentally running it over, a rodeo running through the yard, etc. but soon they begin to get mixed up, and Big Bird winds up telling Susan the truth. Susan immediately forgives Big Bird for the incident.

- This book was also adapted into the video Three Sesame Street Stories. Due to the absence of Loretta Long for the voices, Fran Brill provides the voice of Susan, who is referred to instead as "Mrs. Washington". Little Bird was also added to the video version of the story, via reusing illustrations of the character from Big Bird and Little Bird's Big & Little Book and I Think That It Is Wonderful, both also illustrated by A. Delaney..
