Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	David prepares a bowl of hot cereal with cinnamon and raisins. Oscar comes by for breakfast and David offers the cereal, even though Grouches don't go for that kind of food. Oscar needs some time to consider the option and asks David to count to 10 while he thinks, then to 20, then 30, and finally 40. By now, the cereal has gone cold and soggy, which makes it much more appealing to Oscar.
