Synopsis

It's Mayor Papazoni's birthday, and Pecola is going to make sure that everyone in Cube Town knows about it. But when he and the mayor visit people, it seems that everyone has forgotten it, and that Pecola never gets a chance to mention it. Papazoni figures that it's because he hasn't done the things he says he was going to, and the citizens are all angry with him. So he and Pecola do a major clean and shine on Cube Town- which they finish just in time for Papazoni's surprise party. So that's why everyone was avoiding Papazoni all day: they were saving the secret!
