How to cover scratches on furniture?

Reading Images
1. The images doesn't give me enough information to perform the process. It doesn't tell me which color of crayon, what heating setting of the hair dryer and what type of cloth I should use to wipe it.
2. According to the illustration, the steps to cover scratches on the furniture are apply crayon to the scratches, blow dry the it and then wipe it with a cloth. The step labeled number 1 is not actually a part of the process. It is just a scenario that demonstrates the audience that scratches are formed. But it is helpful because without step 1, the illustration would not make sense.
3. Be careful to choose the right color of the crayon to match your furniture and use a clean and dry cloth to rub it but be gentle with it because you might also rub out the color.
