Little Ricky's school is holding a pageant named "The Enchanted Forest". Lucy is told about it at the PTA meeting and wants to demand Little Ricky have a huge part. However, Ricky tells her this can be a great lesson for Ricky in cooperation. However, the boy who had gotten the boy lead doesn't want to do it, so Little Ricky becomes the lead. Because there are more parts than children, the Ricardos and Mertzes are volunteered to have roles. Ricky is a hollow stump, Fred's a frog, and Ethel's the fairy princess (because she fits the costume), and Lucy is the wicked witch.
The pageant itself is very clever and goes off with only a few hitches. Several children have to be prompted with their lines, and Little Ricky forgets and calls his parents "mommy" and "daddy" instead of their characters' names. The pageant has singing and dancing that the children carry off very well.
I don't recall seeing this particular episode before, and I enjoyed it immensely. I recommend it highly.
