	Intro
	Scene	Pferd is admiring all the delicious berries at the shop when he hears a piano playing, and he decides to go and see what it is. It turns out to be Annette, who is writing a summer song. Pferd gets excited and asks if there are any delicious berries in it. Annette doesn't know yet, since the song is not finished and the melody for the chorus is not right. Pferd has no idea what she is talking about, so Annette tries to explain what a song contains. Pferd tells Annette that he thinks best after a glass of fruit juice.
	Scene	Pferd is mixing some fruit juice when Rumpel comes by to ask if the horrible noise is finished. Pferd and Annette tell Rumpel that Annette is trying to compose a new summer song, but that they are taking a break so that Annette can get an idea for the chorus. After Annette has drunk the juice, she can't come up with anything.
	Scene	Rumpel then comes with a bathtub full of green slime, claiming that this is just what she needs. She is supposed to lay down in the slime and come up with an idea so she doesn't need to play that horrible music anymore. Annette decides to try it out. Then Samson comes by to hear what they are doing. Pferd tells him they are trying to help Annette get an idea so she can finish her summer song. Annette don't think the slime bath helps, so Samson says he has just the thing.
	Scene	Samson says that he lifts a huge log up and down when he needs to get an idea. Annette is having difficulties lifting the log, so Pferd, Rumpel and Samson start to chant her name. She manages to lift the log and then quickly drops it on Samson's foot--she finally has an idea for the chorus. Then she starts to play the song. After the song, Annette thanks her friends for helping her to get the idea. Rumpel thinks that the best part is that now the horrible music are finished; however, Annette tells him that this is just the beginning. She still needs to compose an autumn song, a winter song and a spring song.
