Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN	Maria and Luis are busy at work when all of a sudden they hear sirens outside. Just then, all the king's horses and all the king's men enter the Fix-It Shop with a box containing the remains of a broken Humpty Dumpty, and request that he be fixed (as they couldn't put him together again).
 	SCENE 1 	Humpty Dumpty, having been fixed and covered in bandages, decides to sit on a trash can instead of a wall, thinking he'll be safer if he does. He comes up with a new rhyme for his seating arrangement, but Telly tries to warn him that he's sitting on Oscar's trash can, which is not a safe place to sit. Oscar opens the lid to see what the hubbub is, and Humpty Dumpty flies off and shatters.In this airing, the scene is cut short just as the king's horses and men enter.

He likes sitting on the work counter so much that he decides to stay there - but how are Maria and Luis going to fix all their toasters if he won't move? Besides, Humpty can't think of a good rhyme for "counter," so his nursery rhyme is also in jeopardy.
