In trying to figure out how he is going to make Telly believe him, Oscar thinks of a story he soon tells to Telly. It's about a nice monster (Clash) who wanted to give a grouch (David Rudman) a hug, but all that the grouch could say to him was "no". Finally fed up with his refusal, the monster doesn't offer to hug him anymore. Then one day, the monster fell into a mud puddle. The grouch discovers that the monster is covered in mud and wanted to give him a hug. The monster doesn't believe the grouch, thinking that he'd only hurt his feelings again. Then, the monster leaves to take a bubble bath, leaving the grouch sad. | |
