Oscar tries to calm him down and assures him that it’s “only a Rubber Duckie”, but Ernie disagrees and cries even harder. Oscar tries to calm him down.

Oscar decides that he’ll go to the store and buy him another one. But Ernie says that his Rubber Duckie was something special and unique to him and not easy to replace. Oscar convinces him to tell him what it looked like. Ernie describes Rubber Duckie as “cute and adorable...sweet and cuddlylike," and making "a wonderful sound” when squeezed.

Ernie thinks it’s the ugliest thing he’s ever seen, but Oscar doesn’t think so. It isn’t (in Ernie’s point of view) cute, adorable, sweet and cuddly, nor does it make a wonderful sound (but instead, makes a rather unpleasant one sounding like a whiny moan).

Part 1: A sad Ernie rummages around the apartment looking for something. Oscar enters the room and sees Ernie. He asks what is the matter, and Ernie explains that he’s lost his Rubber Duckie, and bursts into tears. Oscar tries to calm him down and assures him that it’s “only a Rubber Duckie”, but Ernie disagrees and cries even harder. Oscar tries to calm him down. He asks Ernie if he’s looked everywhere, and Ernie answers that he did. Oscar then inquires if he’s lent it to anyone, and the obvious answer is no.

Oscar gets all this down, and tells him to wait right there while he goes out to get him the new duckie.

Part 2: Oscar comes back with the new duckie as he promised, which is in a brown paper bag.
