Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 1 	Maria reluctantly allows Forgetful Jones to help her out in a situation - her friend is arriving any minute, but she has some work to do in the Fix-It Shop and needs Forgetful to keep watch. She gives him the important information he needs - her name is Sue, she'll have a guide dog with her (she's blind) that wears a harness, and that she'll wait at the stoop for Maria's return. As usual, Forgetful forgets what he was supposed to remember when Sue (Sue Harden) arrives. He's able to piece together the clues with Sue's help, and Maria meets up with her to get some lunch.
