The Grapes mistaking Junior into a bean is very similar to Larry Being Mistaken for a Pickle.The show opens up with Larry dressed as his alter-ego Larry-Boy with a cardboard cutout of a city skyline.Ma Grape never moves from the car throughout the whole segment.The classroom edition of this has The Water Buffalo Song.On the former, it is paired with Larry's Lagoon. This segment appeared on God Wants Me to Forgive Them!?!, Happy Together! and Growing Faithful Kids!.The idea for this episode was actually conceived by Mike prior to production on Where's God When I'm S-Scared?."Rosie" is a shorter name for "Rose of Sharon" (a main character from the original Grapes of Wrath novel).The characters they were named after (The Joad family) were rather normal, good-hearted, and thoughtful people. The segment reverses the personalities of the characters from the book, In the VeggieTales sketch, Ma, Pa, Tom, and Rosie are mean and sour bullies who have to learn about forgiveness and giving sincere apologies.This parody is SO different from the original book that Bob even asks Larry on two separate occasions "Are you sure that's how the story goes?" Despite the segment being named after the John Steinbeck novel, it bares absolutely no similarities to the book other than the title and also having four characters who go by "Ma", "Pa", "Tom", and "Rosie".The grapes are happy with the new name and they drive off to share their niceness with the rest of the world, while Junior and Dad go inside for supper. Dad Asparagus suggests that they should be call the "Grapes of Math" since Rosie's got some great math skills. Junior then forgives the grapes, and the grapes say that they will change their names since they will no longer be mean. After Tom, Ma & Pa try out some answers, Rosie correctly says the answer is 490. Bob then asks everyone from the story what the answer is. Bob says he does not know the answer and asks Larry. "Jesus answered, "I tell you, not seven times, but 70 times 7." Larry asks Bob if he knows what 70×7 is. Not knowing how many times to forgive someone, Bob and Larry go to Qwerty on how many times we need to forgive them according to the Bible with Bob asking if it's 7 times. Junior then asks Bob and Larry how many times he needs to forgive the grapes. Junior is unwilling to forgive the grapes after insulting his name, but the grapes are really sorry again and Larry mentions that when we offend God and say we're sorry to Him, He will forgive us no matter what. After Tom and Rosie apologize again, Bob and Larry intervene in the story and say that Junior forgives the grapes again. This causes Tom and Rosie to laugh some more, but makes Dad Asparagus, Pa and Ma Grape unhappy with them. Grumpy and enraged, Junior comes to confront Tom and Rosie, but is hit by a gardening hoe, which makes him fall back into his toy truck, which then rolls into his sandbox, which makes Junior fly up in the air and finally land in the sandbox. Tom and Rosie, overhearing Junior's name, begin to laugh and make fun of his name. Junior forgives the grapes and Dad tells Junior to come inside for dinner. The grapes apologize for their wrongdoing, and Dad asks Junior to forgive the grapes after their sincere apology. He then approaches the grapes and tells them that what they just did was mean and it hurts other people's feelings when they say mean stuff. Dad Asparagus comes out and Junior tells him the situation. The grapes begin to mock him saying that he glued peas to his head, which upsets him dearly. Junior then speaks up, saying that he is an asparagus and that he is not wearing cheese on his head, but a yellow hat. The family begin to assume that he is a bean who is wearing cheese on his head. Rosie then spots Junior Asparagus outside his house playing. After Pa Grape runs into a tree stump and launches Tom and Rosie out of the car, Rosie & Tom start blaming each oher for who made the car crash. They are grapes who live their lives insulting and upsetting people. One day, a wrathful group of four cranky grapes named Pa Grape, Ma Grape, Tom Grape, and Rosie Grape are riding around in their car.
