NARRATOR: He observes.
He questions.
GROVER: Hubba what?
NARRATOR: He investigates.
GROVER: What does this button do?
Ah!
NARRATOR: Super Grover 2.0.
He shows up.
In a desert covered in sand and dust one cactus is about
to have a very prickly problem.
CACTUS: Oh boy.
I'm going to play with my new ball.
Yay.
Oh no.
What's happening?
My new ball.
Help!
Somebody help!
GROVER: Woah.
Boy that's not--
CACTUS: Super Grover 2.0.
You showed up.
GROVER: It is what I do.
Now.
What seems to be the problem?
CACTUS: This.
I was about the play with my new ball,
but look what's happening.
GROVER: Stand back.
For I will engage my super power of observation.
My super eyes see that that ball is shrinking.
But wait.
What is that?
My super ears hear something.
CACTUS: I hear it too.
It's a sss sound.
I think it's coming from the ball.
GROVER: That can only mean one thing.
There is a snake in that ball.
Come on out of there, snake.
Come one.
We can hear you.
I feel something.
I think the snake just blew into my ear.
CACTUS: Super Grover, there's a hole in the ball.
I think the air is leaking out.
Oh, I'll never get to play with a ball now.
GROVER: Oh, there there.
Ow!
I am now observing that you are covered in sharp little
prickly pointies.
Ah.
CACTUS: Well, yeah.
I am a cactus.
GROVER: Oh.
Right.
CACTUS: Wait a minute.
Maybe I'm the reason the ball has a hole in it.
Maybe it's because of me.
GROVER: Oh, do not blame yourself.
Ow, that hurts just as much the second time.
Ah.
CACTUS: Don't you see?
I think I'm making the holes in the ball with my prickly
parts, my spines.
Oh, I'll never be able to play ball.
GROVER: Of course you will.
We just have to answer the question, what kind of ball
can a cactus play with?
It is time to unleash the power of investigation.
Be right back.
CACTUS: That was fast.
GROVER: Here is the perfect ball for you.
CACTUS: A bowling ball?
GROVER: Yes.
Look.
It already has holes, but no air is leaking out.
Here try it.
CACTUS: [GROANING]
Sure is heavy.
GROVER: But it is not leaking air.
Come on.
Throw it to me.
I am wide open.
CACTUS: All right.
GROVER: GROVER:
GROVER: Whoa.
CACTUS: Super Grover 2.0, are you OK?
GROVER: Yes.
Just feeling a little bowled over.
CACTUS: I think I need a lighter ball.
GROVER: Then I shall investigate further for you.
Be right back.
Sorry I took so long.
I took a wrong turn in Antarctica.
CACTUS: You went to the South Pole?
GROVER: Yes.
To get you this ball.
CACTUS: A snowball?
GROVER: It is lighter than a bowling ball.
CACTUS: But we're in a desert, where it's really hot.
GROVER: So?
CACTUS: So the snowball is starting to melt.
GROVER: So?
Oh, then we must play with quickly before it melts.
CACTUS: Oh.
Oh.
OK.
GROVER: Here.
Throw it to me fast.
CACTUS: Oh.
OK.
GROVER: Where did the ball go?
CACTUS: It just broke apart.
Oh, maybe there just is isn't a ball that a
cactus can play with.
GROVER: Oh, there, there.
Ow.
I have got to stop doing that.
CACTUS: I don't suppose you've got anything in that utility
sock of yours do you?
GROVER: Good idea.
I will check.
Hm.
No.
Just my lunch.
A meatball hero sandwich.
This superhero needs to take a lunch break
and eat this superhero.
CACTUS: Wait.
What is that?
GROVER: This?
This is merely the foil from my sandwich.
It is nothing.
CACTUS: But it looks like you could make it into
any shape you want.
I wonder if you can shape it into a ball.
GROVER: Let me investigate this.
Patty-pat here and a patty-pat there and ah ha ha ha.
Why, yes I can.
Check it out.
CACTUS: It's not filled with air, and it's not too heavy,
and it's not melting.
It's the perfect ball for me.
Heads up.
NARRATOR: And so, thanks to his powers of observation and
investigation our hero found that a foil ball was the
perfect ball for a cactus to play with.
GROVER AND CACTUS: [LAUGHING]
GROVER: Give me a hug.
Come here, you.
Oh.
I think I'm leaking air.
COOKIE MONSTER: You Guy Smiley.
GUY SMILEY: Yes, I am.
And you're the next contestant on the waiting game.
COOKIE MONSTER: Oh, boy.
The waiting game.
Imagine me luck.
Me get to play waiting game.
Oh boy, oh boy.
