| Prairie Dawn presents a pageant about feelings. Bert dresses as Cupid to represent love -- but his lines don't ring true. Instead, he sings his own song, "[[That's Love]]". He sings that to him, love means pigeons, oatmeal, his little nephew [[Brad]] -- and even his best friend Ernie. After the song, Bert complains about his costume and how he is always humiliated in many pageants. Ernie points out to the viewers that "He should have been Angry." |

| Prairie Dawn plays piano for a pageant about food. [[Elmo]] plays an asparagus (a role that would, years later, be performed by Telly). [[Herry Monster]] is stuck in a fish costume that's "three sizes too small" and was made by his mom. [[Leo the Party Monster]] portrays a potato (mentioning that potato chips make a great party food). [[Telly Monster|Telly]], in the role of milk, carries a full pitcher of milk on his head and is concerned about spilling it. When he proudly concludes he managed to say his lines without making a mess, Herry tells him to take a bow. Telly does so, and gets the milk all over Prairie's hair! {{sketchrelease|Online: [[Sesamestreet.org]]--edited version}} |

Feelings
|
Prairie Dawn presents a pageant about feelings. Bert dresses as Cupid to represent love -- but his lines don't ring true. Instead, he sings his own song, "That's Love". He sings that to him, love means pigeons, oatmeal, his little nephew Brad -- and even his best friend Ernie. After the song, Bert complains about his costume and how he is always humiliated in many pageants. Ernie points out to the viewers that "He should have been Angry." | ||

Food We Eat

Telly, in the role of milk, carries a full pitcher of milk on his head and is concerned about spilling it. When he proudly concludes he managed to say his lines without making a mess, Herry tells him to take a bow. Telly does so, and gets the milk all over Prairie's hair!

Luckily, when he throws the contents over Bert, the bucket turns out to be filled with confetti. | ||
The Four Seasons

Grover plays stage manager (and prop man) for Prairie's play, though he keeps making mistakes and eventually falls from the rafters.
