Tired of numeral life, Three searches for another job, trying out ear bud, hair band, ship's anchor, sculpture, and more. When he discovers that the fair is closed because there are no three-tries-for-a-dollar games, three-legged races, triple-scoop ice cream cones, etc., he realizes his value and rejoins the other numbers. The story lacks energy, but graphically sophisticated scratchboard art encourages shape and number recognition.
