Mr. Anthony and his students are building a papier maché pyramid, just like the one in the picture of Egypt hanging on their classroom wall, although Benny is more enthralled with the pharaoh's crown with the snake on it in the picture. When Mr. Anthony accidentally spills the pail of water, he asks Benny to get some paper towels so that he can wipe up the mess. However, the paper towel dispenser is empty, meaning that Benny has to get the towels from the cupboard next to the sink - that specific cupboard door which he's never seen open, and which he's always been scared to open not knowing what's inside. He finds it creepy, in the process making his hands sweaty in his fright. Mr. Anthony showing Benny how to do the whirly wind makes Benny's hands less sweaty, but still doesn't lessen his fright about opening the cupboard door not knowing what's inside. So Mr. Anthony tells Benny about the time Napkin Man helped a boy named Asim from ancient Egypt when Asim was scared to open the present chest he had never seen open before, even if it was to pick out a present for the pharaoh's birthday, a present like a snake crown.

Mr. Anthony and his students are playing a game where the students are supposed to jump, jump, jump while he plays the music, and then stop and be still when the music stops, then start jumping again when the music starts, and so on. However, Scott can't help but jump even when the music stops, he in the process accidentally knocking over Kendra and what she's doing a few times. Although he's sorry about what he does to Kendra, Scott says he can't help it as he just feels all these bubbles inside which are making him feel jumpy. Mr. Anthony shows him how to pop those bubbles to make him less jumpy, but the popped bubbles are eventually replaced by more bubbles which make him start jumping all over again. So Mr. Anthony tells Scott a Napkin Man story about the time he helped Larry, a finger painter. Larry wanted to paint a doghouse for the new dog Napkin Man painted for him, the dog who he names Lotsofspots for all the spots he paints on him. But the doghouses Larry paints won't stand up as in his jumpiness, the walls of the doghouses that he paints, he just can't paint straight.

The students are playing make believe, each pretending who they want to be. Scott, who was proudly pretending to be a super hero named Super Scott, all of a sudden becomes withdrawn and hides under a table. It's because some of the other kids started teasing him about his cape in reality being his "blankie", their taunts being that only babies have blankies. His hiding is so he can get small so no one sees him in his embarrassment. To help Scott feel less small, Mr. Anthony shows him how to do the growly bear stretch, which helps, but still doesn't make Scott feel any less embarrassed about having a blankie. So Mr. Anthony tells Scott about the time Napkin Man helped a boy named Ricky as another boy named Kevin always teased him for being a baby for still carrying around a teddy bear.

The students are having a costume parade. Vikram, dressed as a clown, isn't participating in the parade as he feels nervous not knowing the other kids well and not knowing if he should just join in, he, in the process, having a weird fluttery feeling in his tummy. To help Vikram with the flutters, Mr. Anthony shows him how to do the wiggle shake, which helps, but still doesn't make Vikram feel any less nervous. So Mr. Anthony proceeds to tell Vikram about the time Napkin Man helped his friend Vincent the Clown, who was nervous about clowning around with the other clowns with who he's never played.
