Picture	Segment	Description
	Cold Opening	Nils is feeding Lena, but she spits out the food and it hits him in the face.
	Intro
	Scene	Mehmet comes by and Nils tells him that Lena just keeps crying and won't eat. Wolle overhears it and concludes that it must be a job for the great detective Wolle. Detective Wolle starts by asking Nils and Mehmet what is wrong, and is told that that's just it--they don't know. Wolle thinks it's an interesting case, but how do you investigate something you don't know? Wolle's first conclusion is that Lena needs her diaper changed, but Nils says that he already did that and that Wolle can smell it for himself. At first Wolle doesn't want to, but ends up taking a sniff and concludes that Nils is right. Wolle then suggests that it could be because she's hungry. Once again Nils tells Wolle he's wrong; Nils has made her favorite food, but she spits it out. Wolle then concludes that it's because she wants to eat something else, but what?
	Scene	Nils and Mehmet start to gather all kinds of food from the store and around Nils' house. Afterwards Wolle tells them that they then should present Lena with the various food, so she can tell them what she would like to eat. Nils thinks it sounds like a good idea and carries Lena over to the food to show it to her, but Lena doesn't have much interest in it at all. Wolle concludes that Lena is not hungry, so there must be something else wrong.
	Scene	He re-thinks and comes up with a new conclusion. The room is not kid friendly; it's way too dull. Nils and Mehmet start to redecorate the room. Wolle tells Lena to take a closer look at the room, and afterwards she starts to cry again. Wolle then realizes that it's correct that the room is decorated, but the three of them also look dull so they need to change their clothes. Mehmet, Nils and Wolle pop up next to Lena wearing party hats and start to cheer and laugh. Lena starts to laugh, but shortly afterwards she resumes crying. Nils and Mehmet give up, but Wolle has a new idea. He is sure that Lena doesn't want to be inside; she wants to be out in the fresh air.
	Scene	They take turns pushing Lena around Sesamstrasse until all three of them are tired and they return to the house. Wolle thinks that this is his toughest case ever and that he must think in peace for a while. No sound can be heard and Mehmet looks around and whispers to Wolle, who tells him to be quiet since he is thinking. Mehmet says to Wolle that that's just it--everything is quiet, so Lena is not crying. As Nils puts his hand over to Lena she bites him, and he realizes that she has gotten her first tooth. They realize that that was what was wrong. Wolle declares the case closed. Nils then tells Wolle that he has a new case for him. Wolle gets excited because he loves new cases. Nils says that he, Mehmet and Lena are going to the playground and in the meantime Wolle will clean up the house.
	Scene	Bert is about to eat his cookie when Ernie stops him. Ernie tells Bert that eating too many cookies will give him a toothache and that he would not want that. But before Bert can finish saying that he wouldn't want a toothache, Ernie snatches the cookie and eats it. Ernie then says that he has now ensured that Bert won't get a toothache.
