Lucy is crouched on the floor, working on a puzzle. Linus stands and watches her.<br> <br> "May I help you with your puzzle, Lucy?" he kneels on the floor.<br> <br> "NO! Besides, I'm almost done.." Linus clasps his hands together: "Please?"<br> <br> "Oh, good grief! ALL RIGHT! Here..you can put in the last piece.." She tosses it to him.<br> <br> "Good! Now, let me see..How does it go? Does it fit like this, or does it fit like this? Or maybe does it fit this way? Let's see now..." Linus fiddles with the piece. Lucy leans towards him: "?"<br> <br> "Does it fit this way or this way or this way? Or maybe does it fit that way?" Linus examines the puzzle piece. Lucy sit up straight.<br> <br> "Maybe it fits like this or around this way or maybe it fits this way or like this or maybe.." Lucy frowns.<br> <br> "GIMME THAT PIECE!!" Lucy shrieks, grabbing the piece from Linus, and sending him somersalting through the air.<br> <br> "She never lets me help with anything.." Linus says, sitting on the floor and staring at the puzzle.<br> <br>
