Mr. Fix-It Franklin (4x3)

Fecha de emisión: May 15, 2000

Franklin is good at doing things such as repairing things with tape. However, he wants to fix something complicated. He tries to help Mr. Turtle with fixing the washing machine, but Mr. Turtle says there isn't enough room for the two of them. In his room, seeing that his clock is broken, Franklin decides that it can be his repair project and he takes it apart. But he has no idea how to put it together and blames Goldie for not stopping him. His parents come in and help him out. Then, Mr. Turtle shows him how to use basic tools, such as a wrench and hammer. However, when Franklin wants to do a really big repair job, Mr. Turtle says that he doesn't have enough experience. Using his hands, he shows Franklin how much experience he has and how much he would need to do the big job. It's a large difference. Not daunted, Franklin goes outside to find his friends. He finds Bear, who has a wobbly wheel on his bike. Using the tools Mr. Turtle gave him, he fixes the wheel. The two find Snail, who's having a problem with his dump truck. It won't dump. Franklin fixes this too. Then, he finds Beaver, who can't get her easel to stay on its stand. Beaver's skeptical that Franklin can repair it. But Franklin does, and then heads home, saying there are things that need to be repaired there and he has lots of experience. While he's at home, things go wrong for his friends. Bear's wheel comes loose again, causing him to go flying. This sends him towards Beaver and her easel gets knocked off the painting stand, which wasn't on there so well after all. Bear, Beaver and Snail all end up with paint on them. They head for Franklin's house and tell him that he didn't do such a good after all. But they're willing to give him a second chance. With Mr. Turtle's help, Franklin fixes things, this time the right way.
