I Don't Know What to Do / Ne vem, kaj naj storim

Lizzie spends an afternoon playing with a lizard she found in her garden. An accident occurs and the lizard is fatally injured. Filled with sadness, Lizzie gently buries the lizard and places a flower on its grave, a tender gesture that reflects on the fleeting nature of life.
Lizzie popoldne preživi v igri s kuščarjem, ki ga je našla na vrtu. Zgodi se nesreča in živalca se smrtno poškoduje. Deklico prevzame globoka žalost. Kuščarja nežno pokoplje in na njegov grob položi cvet - mila gesta, ki opominja na minljivost življenja.
