SCENE 1 | Bob watches over Barkley while Linda paints her kitchen. Barkley is feeling very sad, though. The Amazing Mumford happens by and has a trick that can help improve Barkley's spirit. He waves his wand and makes a giant ball appear; Barkley isn't interested. He tries again, conjuring up a giant bone; Barkley, again, isn't up to it. Bob surmises that Barkley merely misses Linda, inspiring Mumford to try again. This time, he makes Linda appear (complete with her paint and brush). | |

The bell rings and the girl enters the school, where the teacher is passing out chalk to her students. We see the teacher teaching the students the English words: "a boy", "a girl", "a man", "a woman," which she has written on the board, along with a drawing for each word. The students repeat the words, then write them down on their individual chalkboards as we hear the girl remark, "We are learning to read and write."
