Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	At the Fix-It Shop, Maria works on a fan while Prairie Dawn uses the shop's computer to write a new pageant. Prairie finds it hard to work when Maria puts on some loud, Spanish music. Maria tries wearing headphones, but her singing along disturbs Prairie as well. Prairie resolves to find someplace else to work when Maria instead gives her a set of industrial-strength earphones that block out any noise.
