Picture	Segment	Description
	SCENE 1	Carlo welcomes the viewer at Hooper's Store, when Zoe suddenly enters repeating a pattern of bananas, apples, and oranges to herself. Carlo thinks that's what she wants to order for lunch, so he digs each fruit out and places them on the counter. Zoe is relieved she had to remember every fruit in order, but Carlo points out an easier way – remembering how many of each fruit – as he sorts and counts them for her. Carlo packs them in a grocery sack for Zoe, but the weight causes her to drop. "You got any tricks on how to carry the bag?" she giggles.
