  |
SCENE 1 | Nina is clearing out the storage room of the Bike Shop, when Oscar happens by. He stakes a claim on all of her old junk and asks that she have it brought to his trash can immediately. Nina decides she needs to hire some movers and calls up "The Three Pigs Movers." Only one pig shows up, as high demand for their services has left them pigless. So, she's gotten some outside hires - Ovejita (winner of their "Pig for a Day" contest) and Cookie Monster (who is promised a cookie for his services). |
  |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Cookie tries moving the large pile all at once, but Pig #1 advises him to take one item at a time. He and the pig struggle with a shopping cart, which topples over on them. Nina shows them that using wheels can help move heavy things, such as her handcart. She also points out that different things use different numbers of wheels. Cookie Monster proposes they load the items into the shopping cart, making them easy to move. |
 |
SCENE 1 cont'd | The moving process is halted when Cookie and Ovejita are unable to move a filing cabinet because it lacks wheels. Pig #1 has a bunch of unused wheels and Ovejita (in Spanish) suggests they fasten the wheels to all the heavy things. They do so and continue moving everything. |
 |
SCENE 1 cont'd | Oscar sees all the junk has finally reached his trash can and is very pleased with their condition. Pig #1 treats the movers to cookies, while Oscar orders Fluffy to drain the swimming pool to make room for his new additions. |
