 	Intro 	
 	Scene 	Ella and Samson hear a strange sound and they discover that it's Rumpel coughing. Ella helps Rumpel to search his Grouch medicine book for a remedy to help the cough. She concludes that he is suffering from a tin-cough, and she starts to read how to cure it. First, all tin cans must be removed from the patient, and then a horrible mixture has to be made. Ella asks Samson to help mix the medicine. Ella tells Rumpel that they will be right back with his medicine.
 	Scene 	Ella and Samson have started working on the horrible mixture, which contains a herring covered in jam, old shoelaces and a grated shoe sole. Samson and Ella quickly agree that it stinks.
 	Scene 	Rumpel is comforting Gustav and ensures him that the medicine will work. Just then Ella and Samson return with the medicine. Rumpel gets a spoonful of the medicine and he likes it very much; it's deliciously horrible. Ella then tells him that the next step in the treatment is to cover himself in newspapers and drink cold tea with banana peels and rotten bread. Rumpel is excited, and looks forward to it and quickly starts to find the newspapers. Ella and Samson leave to make the tea. Rumpel concludes that it's not so bad to be sick.
 	Scene 	Rumpel is sitting in a chair wrapped in newspapers and drinking his tea. He tells Gustav that he is not really feeling sick anymore. But he has discovered that there are a few advantages to being sick, so he wants to act like he is sick for a few more days. He tells Gustav not to tell anyone. Just then Ella and Samson return and thinks he looks better, but Rumpel tells them that he is still not feeling well, and starts to fake his coughing. He asks for some more of the horrible medicine. Samson can't understand why the treament didn't work; they did everything the book said. Ella is getting suspicious. She thinks they need a different treatment: her grandmother's old advice, hot milk with plenty of honey. Rumpel is shocked; how could anyone drink that awful stuff? He suddenly feels a lot better. Ella thinks it's the first time that hot milk and honey worked that fast.
