He is invited up and he and his assistant Mr Watson explain to Linus about his telephone the are about to test. Linus asks if he can watch them test it. They say its alright and he listens as Mr Bell says something over the phone. They cheer and are happy. Back in there classroom, Peppermint Patty gives her report. Her report is on Thomas Edison. She explains about the phonograph. She is now in his house. She is talking with his daughter Miranda. Shes asks Thomas Edison if he can fix her toy. He explains that thanks to the Diaphragm on the top of the toy it can saw a piece of wood when they talk into it. He is about to leave to test out his new experiment when they ask if they can come. He says yes and now they are in his laboratory. They are ready and he recites "Mary Had A Little Lamb" into the phonograph. He then plays it back and it works.
