SCENE 2 Uncle Wally comes across the Count, curious as to what he's counting this time. The Count says that he's counting the number of hippopotamuses inside a cardboard box, but Wally sees that the box is empty. It turns out the Count has been counting zero of various things nearby (like the wide-body jets and steamrollers in the yard), and since the amount is always the same he has an infinite amount of items to not count.

SCENE 4 Maria tries to avoid watching another one of The Amazing Mumford's magic tricks, (having quacked like a duck the last time she was a participant). She hides inside Hooper's Store while Mumford does his trick anyway, attempting to shrink a big tree into a small one. He succeeds, but Maria steps out of the store revealing that the trick worked on her, too - she's a child again! When he tries the trick to reverse the damage, only the tree grows back to its original size. He leaves to find a solution.

He thinks that she might have floated away in the air while holding onto balloons given by her friends, but Gordon reassures him that something so impossible wouldn't happen. Gordon thinks that a task more mundane had occupied her, so they ask a nearby little girl where Maria could be. The little girl turns out to be Maria and explains what Mumford did. Telly is relieved that there's a reasonable explanation for everything, while a dumbfounded Gordon looks in the sky for balloons...
