	Intro
	Scene	Rumpel meets a chimney sweeper. He asks him what he is doing and after getting the reply that he has cleaned the chimney, Rumpel gets angry at him; no one is going to clean such a nice dirty chimney. However, after thinking about it, Rumpel comes to the conclusion that it's actually a good job to sweep chimneys; after all, you get nice and dirty doing that. So Rumpel offers to help.
	Scene	The sweeper tells Rumpel that he has to lower the sweeping tool slowly down; however, Rumpel discovers that if he does it fast, then there's a bigger chance of getting dirty. A side effect of this is that when Nils and Annette come out of the shop, they get covered in soot. At first they don't worry that much since they have heard it brings luck to have a chimney sweeper visiting on the roof; however, they suddenly understand why it was not the case here when they spot Rumpel doing the sweeping.
	Scene	Rumpel tells Nils and Annette that he found his dream job and that his new best friend is teaching him how to become a chimney sweeper.
	Scene	They then sing a song about sweeping chimneys. At the end of the song Annette loses her balance and Rumpel catches her.
	Scene	Annette thanks Rumpel by giving him a big kiss on the cheek. Afterwards, she says that it does bring luck to touch a chimney sweeper, and Nils proceeds to praise the good work Rumpel has done with the chimney; it's so clean. Rumpel starts to think about what has happened: he has cleaned and brought luck to people; that isn't his thing. However, they convince him that he looks really grouchy in the uniform, and he proceeds to clean the chimney.
