	Intro
	Scene	Nils has just gotten some new vegetables, and since it's a sunny day he expects to get a lot of customers. Then all of a sudden he hears an explosion from Rumpel's kitchen. Nils is convinced that Rumpel's kitchen experiment is scaring away any potential customers. However, Rumpel doesn't belive him, so Nils suggests that they switch roles. Rumpel will take over the shop while Nils is in the kitchen making explosions.
	Scene	Rumpel goes to work straight away in the shop by doing some Grouch cleaning. The phone rings and it turns out to be a customer who asks if he has any oranges, to which Rumpel replies that it's a silly question and hangs up. Nils attempts to protest about the way Rumpel is handling the shop, but Rumpel just says to Nils that he hasn't heard any noises from the kitchen yet.
	Scene	Nils goes ahead and attempts to make some noise and weird odors. He experiments with a few ingredients just to see what happens. The odor is so bad that he has to hold his nose, and decides to put the lid on the pot, resulting in an explosion. Rumpel congratulates Nils with a very good explosion.
	Scene	The customer that Rumpel hung up on arrives in the shop, claiming that Rumpel is the most unfriendly shopkeeper ever. Rumpel thanks him for the compliment. Just as the customer tells Rumpel that he will never buy anything from him, there's a new explosion from the kitchen. The customer goes to the kitchen.
	Scene	The customer asks if Nils was responsible for the noise. Nils admits it, and the customer continues by saying he was talking to the annoying shopkeeper when he heard this fascinating noise. Nils immediately realizes that he has to add more ingredients; the noise was not supposed to be fascinating. The new explosion attracts even more people, and Rumpel brings in a basket of vegetables, which the people immediately start buying. Nils can't believe how well the noise and odors worked.
