Hy and Help

[mariamartha]

Hy ,wish somebody could help me,I cannot go on with my Escape from monkey island !!Every walkthrough tells me I must pick up the termites at the bait shop but I can´t pick up the red wooded hand at the Palace of Protheses,I do play the music for Dave and I hurry to the basket but the item that says "pick the wooden hand" doesn´t turn red,it is the white plastic leg thats on!!Am I doing something wrong or perhaps I jumped a step??Thank you for any help!!!!
