 	SCENE 6 	The Amazing Mumford poofs himself to the Fix-It Shop, where Maria, having wasted time on checkers earlier, is frantically trying to catch up on many things - fixing a mixer for Mrs. Carver, eating lunch, and doing her homework before class starts soon. Mumford waves his wand and magically fixes the item, completes her homework, and finishes her lunch (as well as cleaning the bowl). She thanks him for the thought, but wants him to undo the trick; she can't get paid if she doesn't do the work herself, she won't learn anything if she doesn't do the homework, and she's still hungry even though the food is gone. Mumford reverses the trick, but still wishes he could help her in some manner. He instead poofs up a vase of pretty flowers to make Maria's job a little more pleasant.
