 	COLD OPEN 	Telly introduces a list of things he plans to demonstrate today, but his mommy (Alice Dinnean) calls him back home to pick up his toys. He hands off the list to Oscar, asking him to do everything in his absence. Oscar initially refuses, but changes his mind when he gets an idea...

 	SCENE 3 	Gina passes by Oscar's trash can and sees an "AGUA" sign. She recalls that was part of Telly's list and is sure Oscar will demonstrate it by squirting her with a hose or some other grouchy way. Oscar claims he won't do that; he knew someone would talk about the word for him by putting the sign up and denies using any Grouch method of getting her wet. He does, however, casually take out a bulb from his can and squeezes it, causing the flower next to his can to squirt her instead!

 	Film 	A girl goes to school somewhere in Africa. We see the girl getting ready to go to school, as she washes herself and brushes her teeth, puts on her clothes, brushes her hair, and takes her lunch, all with some help from her mother. We see her walking past her neighbors and watching her classmates play outside as she arrives at school. The bell rings, and the girl enters the school, where the teacher is passing out chalk to her students. We see the teacher teaching the students the English words: "a boy," "a girl," "a man," "a woman," which she has written on the board, along with a drawing for each word. The students repeat the words, then write them down on their individual chalkboards as the girl remarks, "We are learning to read and write." The students then jump up and down, as the teacher looks on, smiling. Next, we see the students jumping outside excitedly, now that school has finished.
