Picture	Segment 	Description
 	SCENE 	In honor of storytelling, the story is about a king who is in a panic because he's gotten mustard on his baseball shirt, and it must be clean for the upcoming game. He calls for his royal know-it-all (Oscar) to help him, who decides to pour mustard all over the shirt to hide the stain. This concerns Telly, when Humblina (Rosita) is on her way to the royal laundromat to wash some of her clothes. Telly thinks it's a better idea and takes his know-it-all to accompany her there, to the know-it-all's dismay.
 	SCENE, cont'd. 	The trio arrives at the royal Laundromat, but the royal know-it-all can't bear to look at the washing machines. Humblina goes off to wash her own clothes as king Telly excitedly tells the know-it-all they can wash the shirt, but he doesn't even know how to use the machine. Telly panics, but Humblina returns and offers her help by asking Telly to listen to her instructions. However, he cries in despair due to not having any soap.
 	SCENE, cont'd. 	The king is still in despair about his shirt. Humblina offers her soap powder, an idea the know-it-all hates, but the king lets her to put some in the machine. With a push of the button, the king becomes happy again, eager he'll finally have a clean shirt for the game. Now the king is ready to take the shirt out of the machine, but the know-it-all warns him not to, despite Humblina encouraging him to. The know-it-all proves right when the shirt comes out all wet, bringing the king's hopes down again. Humblina shows him where the shirt properly goes – the dryer – and the king appreciates her kind actions. After all that sadness, the king puts on his baseball shirt, all free of stains and completely dry. Humblina returns wearing a baseball uniform; thanks to her kindness, the king allowed her to join the baseball team. As the two head to the field, the royal know-it-all is left alone in frustration.

== Quotes ==
:[last lines]
:Oscar (voice only, narrating) When last we left our hero, Trash Gordon, he was on the Planet Snore-a-Lot trying to get some sleep. Even heroes need some shut-eye, but unfortunately...all of the Snorecians were snoring. Even the pillows and blankets were snoring! It was a sight for snore-eyes. How would Trash ever get to sleep with all that noise? Luckily, our hero brought along something noisier: his bugle!
:[Trash Gordon grabs out a bugle, and plays it loudly. This wakes both pillows/blankets and the Snorecians up.]
:Oscar (voice only, narrating) Everyone woke up as Trash heroically turned to them and said...
:Trash Gordon: [to viewers] Sesame Street has been brought to you today by the letter H (a red H appears on the top left) and by the number (a red 13 appears on the bottom right) thirteen. (lies down)
:Oscar (voice only, narrating) And our hero boldly fell asleep.
