(Herbert Birdsfoot Is Standing Next To Three Blocks Lined Up In A Row.)

Herbert: Hi! Herbert Birdsfoot Here, And Now It's Time For Grover's Counting Lesson.

Grover (running Up): Hey, Herbie Baby! Am I Late?

Herbert: No, No, You're Right On Time.

Grover: Oh, Good.

Herbert: Now, Over Here I Have Some Blocks. I Want You To Count The Blocks And Tell Me How Many There Are.

Grover: One, Two, Three. Three Blocks, Herbie!

Herbert: Very Good, Grover. Now, I'm Going To Move Them Like This ... (Begins Stacking One Block On Top Of Another.)

Grover: Oh, He's Making A Little Building! Oh, That's Cute, Herbie! That's A Nice Little Building!

Herbert: There! Now, Can You Tell Me How Many Blocks There Are Now? Be Careful, Though.

Grover: One, Two, Three. Herbie, Three Blocks!

Herbert: Very Good, Grover. Now, I'm Going To Move The Blocks Once More ... (Removes Top Block.)

Grover: Oh, But That Was Such A Pretty Little Building! And ...

(Herbert Makes A Pyramid.)

Grover: Oh, That's Nice, Too!

Herbert: There! Now, Can You Tell Me How Many Blocks There Are Now? Be Careful, Now.

Grover (pauses): Three Blocks.

Herbert: Are You Sure? They Look Different.

Grover: I Know, Herbie, I Know, But They Are The Same Number! See? One, Two, Three. Three Blocks, Herbie!

Herbert: Very Good, Grover! You're Doing Very Well Today.

Grover (beaming): Oh, I Know!

Herbert (leading Grover Away From The Blocks): Now, Over Here ...

Grover: Oh, Over There. Bye, Blocks!

Herbert (brings Grover To A Spot Where There Are Three Oranges): ... I Have Some Oranges. Now, I Want You To Count The Oranges And Tell Me How Many There Are.

Grover: Um ...

Herbert: Just Count The Oranges And Tell Me How Many There Are.

Grover: Herbie, I Can't.

Herbert: Well, Why Not?

Grover: Well, You See, I Know How To Count Blocks ...

Herbert (puzzled): Yes?

Grover (despairingly): ... But I Do Not Know How To Count Oranges! Oh! (Puts His Hand To His Head And Leans On A Very Confused Herbert.)
