Picture	Segment 	Description
 	Cold Opening	Rumpel is admiring the chaos in the store. Nils enters with some new fruit, and just as a customer arrives, Rumpel directs both of them to him, so they bump into each other.
 	Intro 	
 	Scene 	The customer tells Nils that she wants two green apples. But Nils can't find the apples. The customer says that she's not surprised, since the store is one big mess, and she leaves. Rumpel tells Nils that he thinks the store looks great, but Nils thinks he needs to clean up a little. He picks up an apple and a banana, and then gets an idea for a new system. He will put the round things into one box and the long things in another box.
 	Scene 	Rumpel helps out by putting oranges, apples, tomatoes and other round fruits and vegetables in one box, and as he looks into it, he says that if Nils thinks this is putting things in order, he likes it. The former customer returns to get two green apples. Nils claims that it's not a problem after all; he has just sorted the fruits and vegetables in his new system. He looks in the boxes of round things, but can't find any green apples. The customer leaves again and says she will be back later. Nils then gets a new idea: he will sort the vegetables and fruits by color instead of shape. Rumpel happily helps out again.
 	Scene 	The customer returns again to fetch two green apples. Once again Nils claims that due to his new color system, he won't have problems getting two green apples. But he is having problems locating any apples in the box with green cucumbers, grapes, asparagus and other green fruits and vegetables. The customer still doesn't think that Nils has cleaned up the store, since all of the fruits and vegetables are mixed together. She suggests that Nils combine his two systems, so that he can sort it by shape and color. The customer takes control and tells Nils and Rumpel where to put the various fruits and vegetables. She puts Rumpel in charge of making a pyramid out of everything that is round and orange, but Rumpel decides to put a couple of green things into the mix as well.
 	Scene 	Nils thanks the customer for her help cleaning up the store. She notices the two green apples in the pyramid, but as she is about to take them, the pyramid collapses. Rumpel laughs and says that that's the kind of sorting he likes.

He has dressed Bert in a complete winter outfit. It turns out that Ernie wants Bert to go to the beach. Bert tells Ernie that he can't go to the beach like that.
