SCENE 1 Poco Loco sits in the tree outside the Fix-It Shop, perfectly able to imitate Luis' voice and everything he says. Luis muses out loud about the salad and juice he intends to order from Hooper's Store right after he puts some things away in the store. Poco flies off to the store and places the order in Luis' voice to David, who is facing the other way and doesn't see who is actually speaking. David prepares the salad, then goes to check on Gordon outside. Poco slips back in and gobbles up the food before leaving. When David returns, Luis enters and orders a salad and juice, to David's confusion. He sets out a second helping and goes back outside, leaving Poco to eat them again.
