His friend Wendy asked, "What's wrong?" She was on her way to paint Ginko tree leaves. "I'd rather be doing your job," said Shredder. "That's funny," said Wendy. "I'd like to be doing yours! Let's trade! Painting is too quiet and gentle for me. I like action. I feel good when I use my muscles." Shredder mumbled, "The other pixies might make fun of us." "Pooh," laughed Wendy. "Who cares if they do? You might love painting. I think it would be fun to tear dead leaves off trees. We will never know if we don't try, will we?" Shredder agreed but he still worried.
