SCENE 1 | Maria tells the viewer that she's going shopping downtown. Grundgetta guesses what she's going to be shopping for, which turns out to be shoes. Grundgetta offers a selection of old, ratty shoes Maria can have, but Maria intends to buy a nice, new pair of shoes. Grundgetta asks to go along, hoping to dissuade Maria from picking any shoes that are too nice. |

SCENE 3 | Maria has tried on several pairs of shoes now and she wishes to see a certain pair in a different size. The shoebox is high atop one of the shelves and Edith can't reach on her own. After trying to jump for them she picks up Grundgetta and raises her high, but not high enough (and Grundgetta doesn't like the experience). Edith also tries climbing the shelves, but gives up. Maria points out the ladder Edith can use instead, which works like a charm. The pair she retrieves don't suit Maria too well, so they keep searching... |
