Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Ruthie relaxes outside Finders Keepers and welcomes the viewer when Snuffy arrives, moaning in pain. He tells Ruthie he hurt his foot this morning trying to open his dresser, and a drawer fell on his foot. He reports that the doctor said he'll be fine, nothing's broken. He then tries some new ways of walking so his foot won't hurt when he moves around, but finds that walking backwards, fast, slow, and sideways is still painful. Ruthie advises him to sit down and rest his foot on a chair, but when she takes a seat, he puts his leg onto Ruthie's lap instead. Celina and Lexine pass by and remind him it's time for dance class, and Snuffy has a new problem: how can he dance with a sore foot?

His Royal Reader helps him read a STOP sign (which helps them avoid some stampeding horses) and a DANGER sign (which saves them from a falling piano).
