Intro | |
 |
Scene | Mehmet and Finchen decide to cancel their plans to play hide'n'seek due to the fog. Mehmet explains to Finchen what the fog is and how it appears. Finchen doesn't like the fog and wants it to go away so she can see her leaves. Mehmet gets an idea and leaves. |
 |
Scene | Another one bumps into the leaf pile, and he asks if he is in Scotland. It turns out to be Nepomuk Nebel, who is the fog that surrounds Sesamstrasse, and he was heading for Scotland, but got lost. Finchen starts to complain about the fog and that you can't play hide'n'seek in fog since it more or less makes it impossible to see anything. She also think the fog is ugly. Nepomuk objects and starts to sing about the beauty of the fog. |
 |
Scene | Finchen agrees that fog can be beautiful, and Nepomuk agrees with Finchen that fog makes it hard to see where you are after he stumbles into the leafpile again. Nepomuk tells Finchen he was heading to Scotland to visit his cousin, who is a wonderful thick fog, and shows a picture of his cousin. Finchen touches Nepomuk to comfort him, but quickly pulls back her hand since he is very damp. Nepomuk quickly starts yelling out various names; it turns out that it's hard to keep control over the water drops in the fog. Nepomuk leaves to keep the water drops in line, and Finchen is impressed that he knows the names of the water drops. |
 |
Scene | Mehmet returns and bumps into the leaf pile, and at first Finchen thinks it's Nepomuk that have returned. She tells Mehmet about Nepomuk and how he is heading to Scotland. Mehmet hands Finchen a flashlight so she can find her leaves in the fog. Finchen is excited; Nepomuk can use the flashlight to find his way to Scotland. She walks away, leaving Mehmet stumped. |
 |
Scene | Finchen hands Nepomuk the flashlight so he can find Scotland. He thanks Finchen and leaves. Mehmet arrives just as the fog is dissolving and Finchen tells him how she gave the flashlight to Nepomuk. Mehmet suggests that they start their hide'n'seek now that the fog is going away. Finchen thinks of a better idea: they will play a game where they find animal shapes in the fog. |

Muppets | The Wörterfee has a problem: she is supposed to present the world's longest word at a conference, but she does not know the world's longest word. The Wolf suggests a few words, but they are not very long. He then promises that he will go and search for the word. He asks his two friends to help him find a word longer than "skateboard". They suggest the word "skateboard-wheels", and as they continue to talk the word just keeps growing to "skateboard-wheel-oil-rag-washing machine-washing powder-can-shelf". Wolf hurries back to say the word to the Wörterfee; however, on his way back he forgets the word. Just as the Wörterfee has given up hope for the longest word in the world, Wolf's skateboard wheels make a noise and she tells him that she thinks she has a can of oil on her skateboard-wheel-oil-rag-washing machine-washing powder-can-shelf. Then she realizes that she has just found the word, and she thanks Wolf for bringing it to her. |
