Description 
|-
| style="text-align: center"|
| style="text-align: center"|Monty 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. 
|-
| style="text-align: center"|
| style="text-align: center"|Monty announces that his penguin school is now in session. A real penguin shows up, and points out that Monty is not a penguin, just a man in a penguin costume. Therefore, Monty decides instead to teach a "not a penguin" school. He puts his hat on the penguin, which seems to work.

| style="text-align: center"|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 we hear the girl remark, "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.

| style="text-align: center"|Maria comes outside the Fix-it Shop and sees The Count with a duck who doesn't want to quack, which upsets him, because he wants to count the duck's quacks. Things were seemingly going well for them, according to The Count, until he counted 4,554 quacks, and the duck quit on him. Maria understands the duck's point of view, and then, so does The Count. He 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
