I am Smart!

"I am smart, and also handsome."

- Inggo

'I am Smart!' is an episode of Karen's World, aired in 2002.

Synopsis
Karen teaches Inggo reflexive pronouns and teamwork, while getting taken advantage by others.

Act I
Three boys, one of them Inggo, are seen returning back home for their group project. However, they trick Inggo into finishing it all by convincing him he is smart enough to finish it by himself. Being gullible, he does not know what their plan is.

While mumbling to himself, he gets startled by Karen, who asks him why he is talking. He said he was talking to me. The bewildered Karen introduces him to reflexive pronouns. Inggo knows what pronouns are, but not reflexive pronouns. They are simply words that end with 'self' or 'welves', depending on the quantity. Inggo tells her that he is making a scene for a big book, or a compilation of every classmate's page. He says he is going to do it all by himself.

Act II
The next day, Karen sees Inggo frustrated, and asks what is the matter. Inggo starts to rush his work, because he cannot handle all the work that has to be done. He reveals it is actually a groupwork, which makes Karen understand the situation more. Inggo finishes the work just in time, but he will attempt to prevent this from happening again.

Act III
The two other boys thank Inggo for what he's done to the group, until the teacher comes near and gives them a failing grade, later revealed to be fake. They blame Inggo for the poor score, accidentally revealing the truth, which Teacher Estella knew the whole time. Inggo gives them another chance, although the teacher gives them another groupwork.

In the stinger, the two boys apologize to Inggo, but it is uncertain whether or not their ways have changed.

Trivia

 * It is revealed that what Inggo said earlier (the carabao is drinking water) is referenced in his drawing.
 * This episode has a recurring vignette, in this case Tong Tipaklong's story.

Errors

 * The movement for Tong's hands, as well as the other ants, slows down sometimes. This is because there is not enough footage to fill up the song.
 * The grasshopper's hands sometimes warp.
