NARRATOR: He observes.
GROVER: Oh.
Look.
No.
No. [SCREAM]
NARRATOR: He questions.
GROVER: Hubba wha?
NARRATOR: He investigates.
GROVER: Hmm.
What does this button do?
[SCREAM]
NARRATOR: Super Grover 2.0.
He shows up.
Somewhere by a woodland stream, one little duckling
is about to waddle into a big problem.
DUCKLING: [SQUEAK] Yippee!
Oh boy.
I can't wait to get to the party.
It's going to be so much fun.
Oh!
A stream?
And the party is on the other side!
Oh no.
How will I ever get across?
Help!
GROVER: Oh.
DUCKLING: Super Grover 2.0.
You showed up.
GROVER: It is what I do.
So what seems to be the problem, little one?
DUCKLING: I'm trying to get to that party over there.
But I don't know how to get across the stream.
GROVER: First, I shall unleash the power of observation.
DUCKLING: Oh, I don't want to miss the party.
GROVER: Hmm.
I see with my super-eyes that you walk like a duck.
DUCKLING: Quack.
GROVER: And I with my super-ears that you quack like a duck.
DUCKLING: Quack.
GROVER: My super-powers of observation
tell me you are a duck.
DUCKLING: Of course I'm a duck.
Quack.
GROVER: Well, then do not be daffy, duck.
You can swim across the stream.
Everyone knows that ducks can swim.
DUCKLING: Oh.
Yes.
But if I swim across, I'll ruin my brand new party shoes.
Look.
GROVER: Stunning.
Wait.
Ducks can also fly, can they not?
If you fly to the other side, your shoes will not get wet.
DUCKLING: Well, yes.
But I'm just a duckling, a baby duck.
I haven't learned to fly yet.
GROVER: Ah, a toddler waddler , I see.
Yes.
So the question is, how can a duckling cross this stream
without getting her new shoes wet?
DUCKLING: That's the question.
GROVER: Well, fear not my fashion-forward friend.
I will now unleash the power of investigation.
Excuse me.
Ah.
I see the stream is full of water.
No wonder it is so wet.
We must soak up all this water and dry out the stream.
DUCKLING: How?
Have you got a plan up your sleeve?
GROVER: No.
But I have a towel down my sock.
Ha ha.
This highly-absorbent paper towel should do the trick.
DUCKLING: One paper towel?
I don't think that's enough to soak up
all the water in the stream, Super Grover?
GROVER: Oh ho.
I beg to duffer, dicky-- differ, ducky.
Observe as I simply dip this towel into the stream.
And would you look at all the water it absorbed?
Yes.
Ha.
There you can run along to your party now.
The stream is all dried up.
DUCKLING: No.
No.
No, it's not.
It's still full of water.
GROVER: What?
DUCKLING: Oh, if only there were a branch here.
GROVER: What's that now?
DUCKLING: You know, something sturdy and dry
that connects one side of a stream to the other side.
GROVER: Oh, you mean a crossy-over thing.
What good would that do?
DUCKLING: Well, I could walk across it
without my shoes getting wet.
GROVER: Ah.
Well, then stand back, for I, Super Grover 2.0,
will now unleash the power of engineering,
and design you a crossy-over thing.
DUCKLING: You mean a bridge.
GROVER: Yeah, whatever.
Design, design, design.
And ta da!
DUCKLING: A bridge made of broccoli?
GROVER: Yes.
It is the latest in green design.
What do you think?
DUCKLING: Well, I don't think that broccoli
is the right thing to make a bridge out of, Super Grover.
GROVER: Of course it is!
Now, let me check my utility sack for some broccoli.
Ah.
There we are.
And now I will just follow my design
and place this broccoli across the stream.
DUCKLING: Oh, no.
The broccoli is not long enough to reach
the other side of the stream.
Now I'll never get to the party.
I'm going to cry!
Waah!
GROVER: Oof.
It is your party and you can cry if you want to.
But I know what I must do.
DUCKLING: What?
GROVER: Find a longer piece of broccoli!
There must be one here somewhere.
Huh?
What is this wooden, roundy thingie doing in my sack?
DUCKLING: Hey!
Maybe we could use that.
GROVER: Do not be silly.
This is not broccoli.
DUCKLING: I know.
It's a log, Super Grover.
And it looks like it might be long enough
to stretch across the stream.
GROVER: Not now, little waddler.
First, I must find that pesky vegetable.
Ah.
DUCKLING: Time for me to unleash the power of engineering.
Super Grover, look.
I designed my own bridge.
GROVER: That's not broccoli.
Ah.
Oh.
DUCKLING: Oh well.
I guess I'll just build the bridge myself then.
I can just push this log over to the stream.
GROVER: Hmm.
The broccoli.
DUCKLING: Super Grover!
I did it!
I engineered a bridge with the log.
It was long enough!
OK.
Let's see if this works.
Ah.
I'll start on this side and waddle,
waddle, waddle, waddle, waddle, waddle, waddle
to the other side without getting my shoes wet.
Ha!
It worked.
Now I can go to the party.
Thanks for the log Super Grover!
GROVER: Ah, do not thank me, you lucky ducky.
Enjoy the party.
NARRATOR: And so our hero learned
that an engineer needs the right size and shape
materials to solve a problem.
GROVER: Well, it looks as though my work here is done.
Up, up, and away!
[MOANING] Perhaps next time I should take the bridge.
DUCKLING: Welcome to the party, Super Grover.
ALL: Party!
GROVER: While I'm here I might as well get my party on!
Ha ha!
Yeah!
DUCKLING: Woo!
GROVER: What seems to be the problem?
PENGUIN: Well--
GROVER: Wait!
Do not tell me, for I will unleash
my powers of observation.
Um, uh, I connect observe a thing
with this giant block of ice in the way.
