Larry and the Big Sales is the seventy-sixth episode of VeggieTales that teaches a lesson in hard work.
Episode Summary
Opening Countertop
Bob and Larry welcome the kids to VeggieTales. Larry thinks they should just cut to the chase today. Bob wonders why. He says there's no crayon written letters, no elephants in the room, and no plastic aardvarks. Larry says it's true but he reads the letter they got earlier from Cyrus of Springfield, Illinois. Cyrus has been working very hard to make the football team, but he feels like he should just stop because he's getting nowhere. Bob says that he shouldn't just give up, he needs to put in the hard work. Then he tells Cyrus to watch this story.
Larry and the Big Sales
Larry is bored one day and thinks he would be great at selling things. He isn't sure where he is getting this idea but he wants to do it. He decides to sell ice cream. Everyone buys his ice cream. He thinks that was easier than he thought. He thinks he should go big.
Larry ends up progressing in his climb to the top of the markets. After opening a huge retail store, he thinks he should just take it easy. But taking it easy wasn't exactly the route to take. His sales start plummeting and business gets scarce. He becomes a wreck and doesn't know what to do.
One day, Pa Grape comes into his office and asks if he can talk with Larry. Pa Grape gives Larry a lecture on finishing what he started, and that he put all the work into this business. He shouldn't give up and he should give this store all the effort he's got. Larry thinks Pa Grape is right and he promotes the store. Pretty soon, Larry's business returns.
Closing Countertop
Larry liked the story and wants to see if QWERTY has a verse for them. Then they discuss the story. In the story, they learned that if you work hard at something, you shouldn't stop but you should keep on going because you may like the results of your hard work in the end. Then they sign off.
