| abstract | - Bob and Larry start on the countertop with Larry wearing a shoe on his head. He asks why he is, and Bob explains that they are going to tell the story of Flibber-O-Loo because they have recieved a letter from a child who wants to know what loving your neighbor is. There were two large cities on top of a high mountain, so high that the clouds were below. The city to the West was Flibber-O-Loo, and they wore shoes on their heads and claimed that it was the best headgear. The town to the East, Jibberty-Lot, knew a shoe wouldn't do, and instead wore a pot. The two bickered and fought over who had the best headgear, and shot pots and shoes at eachother day and night. Some didn't like fighting, and instead wrote poems or sang. One of those people one day went on a walk with his pet wind-up lobster. He went out of his city and down the trail which lead to Jibberty-Lot. He didn't notice three bandits were spying on him. As the Flibbian and his lobster walked by, the bandits jumped out of their hiding placed and robbed him of his milk money. They knocked off his shoe, then they knocked off his sock, then stuck the Flibbian's head in a hole, and ran off with his money and his sock. He cried for help, but his pet lobster kept on walking. Soon the Mayor of Flibber-O-Loo came by and saw the poor Flibbian. The Flibbian cried and begged for help, but the mayor claimed he was too busy. Then a Flibbian Doctor came running along and saw the poor man with his head in a hole. She also claimed she was too busy for him. They both ran off to do their work. The man was hopeless. Then, a small Lottian boy came walking through the path wearing a pot. He saw the man and realized he was a Flibbian, not a Lottian, and decided not to help since he was from the other city. But then he thought that God made him special, and he also made that Flibbian special, too. So the boy with the pot decided to help the man, and took him home and to the Flibbian Doctor and paid for his bills. Soon everyone realized you must love your neighbor. After the man and the boy became friends, so did Flibber-O-Loo and Jibberty-Lot. Then after, instead of throwing shoes and pots at eachother, they threw colorful flowers and sweet candy. The silly song opens as usual, but Archibald jumps in and changes to the silly song into "Classy Songs with Larry". The song is Larry's High Silk Hat, in it, Larry is sitting on a bench waiting for the trolley and bragging to the local bystanders about his high silk hat and his box of choclate. But as he's waiting, the hot sun comes up and Larry is afraid that his flat and his chocolate will melt. To keep it safe, he places both his items beside him, but Apollo Gourd sits on them squashing him. Just as Larry sits in dissapontment and misses his trolley, Scallion 1 walks by and Larry asks him for his name, but he says that no has ever given him a name and walks off. Junior and his dad talk about who's going to Junior's birthday party.
