Summary: Princess Sabina, despite following the lessons intended, starts to feel unappreciated by Dame Barbara lately. Her dream is to be more than that of a "proper princess", despite the governess's objections. Meanwhile, Brainy Smurf tries to teach his fellow Smurfs how to keep the village organized.
Rules: 1. This is set during Season 4. 2. Keep the story family-friendly. 3. No random posts. Follow the story as intended. 4. Have fun.
----
The episode starts outside with three princesses in the backyard of the castle, sharing their thoughts of their governesses/tutors with Princess Sabina in the garden.

Princess #1: The governess of my kingdom thinks salad is a Greek thing! What does your governess do?
Princess #2: Well, the governess of my kingdom thinks flour comes from crushing daisies! And you?
Princess #3: The governess of my kingdom believes eggs are the hen's babies. But, I think honeybees have to pollinate them first. (to Sabina) So, Sabina. What does your governess do?

Princess Sabina: Well... Dame Barbara doesn't get to the point of talking something like this, but she's always reminded me about "the ideal behavior of a princess", telling me all the time: "Sabina, a princess doesn't do this, a princess doesn't do that"... That's practically her catchphrase!

Princess #2: I didn't know the governess of your kingdom had a catchphrase.
Dame Barbara then enters with a tray of tea and crumpets for the princesses.
Dame Barbara: Oh, Sabina. I brought some tea and snacks for you and your friends.

Dame Barbara: I'll let you girls get back to your alone time. Now, if you don't mind, I have to inform the King.
After Dame Barbara leaves, the princesses go back to their conversation.
Princess #1: Don't you get tired of it?
Princess Savina: Uh, sometimes.

Princess #3: If you ask me, being an ideal princess isn't as easy as it looks.
Sabina: You don't say?
Princess #2: As a matter of fact, we do. We need you to prove your worth of being more than an ideal princess.
Princess #1: Why not go on an adventure? That's your dream, right?
Sabina: Well, that is true, but Dame Barbara won't let me.
Princess #3: I'm sure she will. You just gotta believe in yourself.
Sabina: Uh... I guess so...
Peewit enters into frame with mandolin and leaves, tipping his hat to the other princesses.
Peewit: Hello, ladies!
Princesses: (all but Sabina) Hi, Peewit!
Princess Sabina sighs and starts to think. Meanwhile in the Smurf Village, Harmony Smurf sounds the alarm.

Hefty: What's smurfing on, Papa Smurf?
Brainy: Any bad and unsmurfy news?
Grouchy: I HATE bad and unsmurfy news!

Papa Smurf: Everysmurf, settle down! We need to make some changes around here! Yesterday, I found a bunch of papers lying around the floor.
Bashful Smurf raises his hand, smiling sheepishly.
Bashful: That would be me, Papa Smurf.
Papa Smurf: Bashful, why can't you be organized like any other Smurf?
Bashful: I'm trying, but... this organization stuff is hard. I can't tell a difference between which paper I need to put away.
Papa Smurf: Well, that settles it! Since you can't get your act together, we're going to smurf an organization program.
Smurfs: (unison, all but Papa and Bashful) An organization program?
Papa Smurf: And other Smurfs should start organizing their things too.
Smurfs: (unison, all but Papa and Bashful) Organize?
Bashful: I'm starting to get the picture, Papa Smurf. But how is it done?

Papa Smurf: Perhaps our new supervisor would care to explain...
Bashful Smurf: And who is it?
Papa Smurf: Brainy Smurf, of course. I was going to pick Hefty, but it turns out he needs to practice, too.

Hefty Smurf: Why can't I? I'm good at organizing my exercise equipment.
Papa Smurf: Yes, but are you good at organizing papers?

Hefty: Smurf up, Bashful!
Papa Smurf: No, Hefty, he's right! The two of you can start by organizing other's messes you call home.
Bashful: Huh?
Papa Smurf: I mean, tidy up each other's houses.
Bashful: Seems simple enough.
Papa Smurf: And to make sure you do your jobs, Brainy will supervise.
Brainy Smurf: You can count on me, Papa Smurf.
Back at the castle, Dame Barbara is teaching Sabina how to cook food for others.
Dame Barbara: Not only does a proper princess learn manners and sew outfits, but she also does culinary work. Like cooking, for instance.

Dame Barbara walks over to the kitchen.
Dame Barbara: As you can see, the cook is out for the day. So, we'll have the kitchen to ourselves, just for the cooking lessons.

Dame Barbara: Our first step is to put all the ingredients in a mixing bowl. Sabina, do you have the ingredients as listed on your parchment?

Princess Sabina (looking over the list): Well, let's see... Plain flour, yeast, a bit of salt, milk, warm water, a little butter, a little lard... Could we add sugar to the recipe, Dame Barbara?

Dame Barbara: Not if we were making cakes and /or cookies in this lesson. In crumpets, that won't be necessary.

Princess Sabina: Well, that doesn't sound like a sweet treat.
Dame Barbara: True, but it's something I've learned back in my schooling days. Someday, you'll thank me for this.

Dame Barbara: First, we start with a cup of plain flour. Like so.
Dame Barbara puts in a bag's worth of flour in her bowl, while in contrast, Sabina puts in a cup of flour in her bowl as instructed.
