Handyman Negri does his best, not knowing exactly what they are not to be afraid of, by singing We're Not to Be Afraid. In hopes of diverting attention away from an emergency meeting with Mayor Maggie, Handyman Negri sets off singing his song. At the tree, the lyrics of the song bring concern to Henrietta and X. Moving on to the Platypus mound, Handyman Negri talks to Prince Tuesday and Ana Platypus who are worried about the "big thing." Meanwhile, at the castle, Mayor Maggie and Neighbor Aber have arrived with a picture of the "big thing" and news that it will be arriving in the Neighborhood of Make-Believe in "two and eight ninths."
