Cookie Monster, in his 1970 form with portruding lower lip and blue-green fur, is behind the typical brick wall against a yellow backdrop, and asks David, a black kid around 8 or 9, to read the sign "STREET" and asks him what it is.

David correctly reads the word and defines "street" as something that cars drive on."

Cookie praises him by saying: "Very good..."

and that's that.

No end music.

David was also featured in a skit from 1970 with Bert about making a happy and sad face.

It was the same brick wall, same yellow backdrop, and I'm pretty sure David was wearing the same orange long-sleeve shirt.

Both segments were probably taped on the same day, and Frank Oz probably just switched Muppets.
