It's been a while since we've seen Mr. Roberts, and now he's back in his room. He's a little bummed out that he hasn't been able to get a new pair of socks. He tells his brother to stay put and not kick the quilt, which is the only thing in the room that's made of real fabric. He also complains about how inconvenient it is to get up and down the stairs every day to get to the bedroom, and how small the room is. He wants to buy a new set of socks, but he can't find one anywhere. The only thing he can find is one toothbrush, and it's super tiny.
