Mr. Bear runs the Clean Bear Laundromat. One day, something urgent comes up for Mr. Bear, prompting him to ask his new next-door neighbor, Mouse, to take over the laundromat for a while. Even so, Mr. Bear can't stop worrying. There won't be any customers while I'm gone, will there? They'll only be there for a short while, won't they? Even if someone comes, there'll be a place for them to sit down, won't there? I bet Mouse is pretty bored right about now, right? These questions and more run through Mr. Bear's mind. Full of worry, Mr. Bear picks up a bag of fresh pastries before returning to the laundromat. Oh right, I forgot to tell Mouse not to mix the whites and colors! But it's too late. Mouse had tossed all the clothes together into one washer, resulting in a big pink mess! Ever the creative thinker, however, Mouse decides to hand paint the customers' pink clothes, with each outfit suited to their tastes. The customers leave satisfied with their new, freshly laundered pink clothes. Mr. Bear and Mouse breathe a sigh of relief.
