*Oscar shows Bob and Laura his new "Oscar Super Duper Automatic Can Opener," created so he won't have to reach up and open his lid when someone knocks on his trash can. The sound of the knocks goes through a megaphone to a sleeping [[Slimy]], which reminds Slimy to practice the tuba. The air from the tuba inflates a balloon, which a passing monkey will think is an orange and try to eat. The monkey will be scared when the balloon pops, and will grab a stick, which is attached to a rope, which is attached to the trash can lid. Bob doubts it will work, so Oscar tells him to try it. Everything works, the lid opens, and Oscar tells Bob to leave him alone.

  • Film: A Native American boy shows what a day in his life is like. (EKA: Episode 0244)
  • Cartoon: "Poverty Q": A figure demonstrates Q words, despite the unruly stem of his letter Q that keeps detaching itself. (First: Episode 0048)

  • Ernie explains how a scale can determine what is heavier than another object. With the scale, he was planning to split some cookies with Bert, but can't figure out how to do it. Cookie Monster shows him his way of solving the problem: he eats the cookies off each side of the scale until there are no cookies left. Ernie is disappointed since all he's left with is a "really good scale". Cookie disagrees--he's tasted better.
