All of Fritz’s messes conveniently get blamed on the Mess Fairy. This arrangement works out great for Fritz until he accidentally splatters paint on Timothy’s treasured collection of shells. Fritz feels bad and decides it’s time that he begins to own up to all the messes he has caused and pledges do his very best to clean them up. The children enjoy a day of games and races at the school picnic. No one cares if they win or lose. No one except Claude and Grace. They have to win every time. Until the last Obstacle Race. Everyone’s a winner in this event. Everyone has fun. Everyone that is, except Claude and Grace. They just don’t get it.
