Picture	Segment 	Description
 	COLD OPEN	Monty, dressed in black and white fur and a fake beak, persuades the viewer to enroll in his "penguin school," for anyone who's ever wished they could be a penguin, "just like me." Maria laughs out loud at this concept, and Monty introduces the opening theme.
 	SCENE 1 	Monty announces that his penguin school is now in session. A real penguin (Peter Linz) shows up and indignantly points out that Monty is not a penguin, just a man in a silly penguin costume. Therefore, Monty decides instead to start a "not a penguin school." The penguin likes the idea and Monty puts his hat on the bird, which makes him start to feel like a non-penguin already.

 	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.
 	SCENE 3 	Maria comes outside the Fix-It Shop and sees the Count with a duck (David Rudman) who doesn't want to quack. According to the Count, things were seemingly going well for them until he counted 4,554 quacks from the duck, who suddenly quit on him. Maria understands the duck's point of view and says the duck is just tired of quacking (or, as the Count puts it, he's "quacked to the max"). The Count promises the duck that he'll find something else to count, which makes the duck feel better. He suggests that maybe he could count barks from a dog... and the duck starts barking!
