	Intro
	Scene	Super Samson arrives at the scene, where Nils is trying to get Lena's kite unstuck. Super Samson promises that Lena will shortly get her kite back, and he begins to climb the tree. However, Super Samson suddenly stops climbing and starts to shake. Nils thinks that Super Samson might have lost his self-confidence. Nils explains what self-confidence is, and Super Samson slides down the tree asking how he can get his self-confidence back. Wolle comes by and hears that Super Samson has lost something he wants back, which is clearly a job for Detective Wolle. After questioning Super Samson, detective Wolle decides that the best place to start is Samson's cave. Nils tries to tell Wolle that self-confidence is not an object that you can find, but Wolle doesn't listen.
	Scene	Wolle starts the investigation at the cave; however, he thinks it's a bit too dark for a sheep to go in. Super Samson says that it's no problem, and he goes in alone. Wolle is impressed with the courage that Super Samson has. Samson returns but he has not found any clues to where his self-confidence might have gone. Wolle think that the next place should be the mountain. Wolle starts to climb the mountain, but he can't clmib it alone so Super Samson pushes him upwards. At the top, Wolle thanks Super Samson for his help, but Wolle can't see Super Samson's self-confidence anywhere, so he decides that they should look in the forest.
	Scene	In the forest they encounter a spider and its web, which scares Wolle, but Super Samson just removes the spider and goes through the web, clearing the way for Wolle. Once again Wolle is impressed by Super Samson's courage. Super Samson is flattered but says that it was no problem and they continue the search. The next place is Rumpel's barrel; however, Wolle doesn't want to knock on the barrel since Rumpel will just get angry at him. Super Samson then knocks, as he is not scared of Rumpel. They start a discussion with Rumpel and Super Samson is getting the upper hand of the discussion, but still no self-confidence.
	Scene	Back at the tree, Wolle concludes that Super Samson must have lost his self-confidence when he climbed the tree, so it has to be near Lena's kite. Wolle climbs the tree with Samson's help. But the only thing Wolle finds is Lena's kite. Just then, Wolle slips and can barely hang on. Super Samson hurries up the tree to save Wolle, and since Super Samson is at the top of the tree anyway, he figures he might as well get the kite. Then he suddenly realizes that he has climbed the tree and is feeling strong and secure. He concludes that he must have found his self-confidence.
	Scene	Ernie suddenly says that he can see pink pigeons from the balcony. Bert gets excited, but then Ernie says that he just managed to fool him. Bert doesn't think it's funny, and while he talks, a kite flies by. Ernie tells Bert that there's a dragon (Drachen means both "dragon" and "kite" in German). Bert doesn't want to be fooled again, but then the kite hits Bert.
