 	SCENE 1 	At the Fix-It Shop, Luis permits Telly Monster to hang around and help out by holding two pieces of wood together. As Luis gets his tools, the mischievous Poco Loco starts to tickle Telly and make him lose his grip. Luis catches the parrot in the act, and Poco complains about everyone having a job but himself. Luis tells him if he wants to help, he simply has to ask. Poco asks if he can help and when he receives confirmation, he states that he only wanted an answer; he doesn't intend to help at all.
