SCENE 1 Herry Monster watches Luis trying to fix a toy car at the Fix-it Shop. Luis asks Herry if he knows what's inside, and gives him permission to open it up and see. Herry gets the car separated with little effort and the two observe the metal strip that helps the mechanical car go. Luis repairs the car, and Herry is encouraged to look inside other things.

SCENE 3 Luis shows Herry the word "agua" (water in Spanish), then he and Linda play a game where they mime various actions to see if he knows the meaning of the word. Linda pretends to use a mop, and Luis pretends to swim; this doesn't clue Herry in (though Luis' swimming reminds him of his Mark Spitz racing suit). After a few more wrong guesses Herry gives some pantomime suggestions, revealing that he knew the meaning of the word all along.
