Synopsis[]
When Huckle has to get his tonsils out after having four sore throats in the same week, Lowly stays with him in the hospital; however, Huckle is afraid, so he is encouraged to speak with his fellow patients.
Patients Other than Huckle, and Reasons for Their Stays[]
- Sprout; he had to have his leg straightened out four times for some reason.
- Mr. Frumble; he had been breaking his nose from chasing his hat; also, because of no hang of properly using a certain button, he ends up trapped in the mattress while it is folded.
- Mrs. Stitches; she was about to have a baby.
- Mr. Gronkle; like Sprout, he had apparently broken his leg.
Trivia[]
- This episode was be featured in Summer Picnic and 2 other stories and The Best Richard Scarry Collection Ever - Volume 1 on 2 VHSs.
- This episode was later adapted into the book, A Big Operation.
- It is not a good idea to eat anything with a utensil that has already been in someone else's mouth, especially if the other person is sick, yet so far, nothing happens when Lowly eats Huckle's ice cream with the same spoon Huckle had taken a spoonful of it with.
