Picture	Segment 	Description
 	Cold Opening	Finchen is watching Ralph the gardener at work around her leaf pile.
 	Intro 	
 	Scene 	Finchen asks Ralph how flowers grow, and if she can have a flower. Ralph has an idea: he gives Finchen some seeds and tells her how to plant them. Finchen then proceeds to plant the seeds after Ralph's instructions. Finchen then waits around the flower pot to see it grow. Ralph returns and tells Finchen that a flower doesn't grow that fast, but with the help of some fertilizer it will grow a bit faster, and the best fertilizer is the manure from horses.
 	Scene 	Pferd helps Finchen by allowing her to take his droppings. Pferd tells Finchen just to come ask for more if she needs it. They both look at the flower pot, but the flower still won't grow. Pferd tells Finchen that Wolle told him that flowers grow better if you talk to them. They decide to read it a ghost story. As Finchen reads, Pferd gets more and more afraid, but the flower still doesn't grow. They conclude that flowers don't like ghost stories, so they try a story about other flowers. As Finchen reads the story, they fall asleep.
 	Scene 	The next day Ralph returns and wakes them up. They are disappointed when they see that the flower has not grown yet. Ralph asks them if they did what he said. They tell him that they have given it water, manure and read it a story. Ralph tells them that reading stories won't help the flower to grow. Ralph tells them what they need is more water, manure and lots of sun. Then they hear a voice, and as they look around to see where it came from, they discover that there's a flower in the pot and it's talking. It wants to hear more of the last story Finchen and Pferd were telling it last night.
 	Scene 	Bert can't believe that Finchen got a flower to grow by reading it a story. Ernie tells Bert that the same thing happens when he reads his pigeon book to him. Bert tells Erine that he doesn't know what he is talking about; he doesn't grow. Ernie says that's correct, but he does get tired because the book is so boring.
