 	Intro 	
 	Scene 	As Annette comes out of her house she notices smoke coming from a pot in Rumpel's kitchen. She is convinced that it's on fire so she hurries away to get some water and tries to put out the fire. As Annette tries to assure Rumpel that he does not have to worry; she saved him from the fire. However, Rumpel is furious because she poured water in the mud fountain he was trying to create, and it was just ready and now he has to start all over.
 	Scene 	Annette offers to help Rumpel make a new mud fountain.
 	Scene 	Annette is looking forward to help making the mud fountain, so she asks Rumpel what the ingredients are. The first ingredient is a black shoelace with three knots; however, Annette decides to add a few more knots just to make sure it will be really good. Next come three spoonfuls of fresh dust, but Annette also adds some extra dust. Then she needs to add some rust powder, and Annette ends up emptying the can into the pot.
 	Scene 	The next ingredient is a black sock. Annette then takes the liberty to throw in an old shoe just to ensure that the mud fountain will be really good.
 	Scene 	The final ingredient is some rotten fruit. Annette throws two in the pot; however, this time Rumpel notices and starts to get angry that she has not followed his instructions. Annette tries to ensure Rumpel that this is sure to work, but just then the pot blows up. It turns out that by adding the extra ingredients, Annette has made a confetti fountain instead. Annette is very sorry, and then tells Rumpel to look around and see the mess that she has made. Rumpel starts to feel much better.
