"What's the Word on the Street?" -- ticklish | ||
Gordon and Maria step outside laughing at a joke Maria just told, and welcome the viewer. Oscar and Grundgetta tell them to keep it down, because they're reading Grundgetta's favorite Grouch fairy tale, "The Tale of Sleeping Grouchy", as Grundgetta calls it, "the grouchiest tale ever told." Slimey is also eager to hear the story. Telly and Elmo also want to hear it (Oscar: "Well, what do ya think, Grungie? Let the little Monsters listen in?" Grundgetta: "Never hurts to spread a little grouchiness around."). Now, having Grundgetta's approval Oscar begins to read the story. | ||

In the story, the very grouchy princess is portrayed by Grundgetta, and her warm, loving, synonym-spouting parents are played by Maria and Gordon, who sing a song about how much they love their daughter. | |

One day the grouchy princess goes on a grouchy walk. She says "Phooey!" so many times that it disturbs a wizard who was walking nearby. He casts a spell on her, putting her to sleep for a hundred years! | |

Grouchy's parents encounter her sleeping, and become distressed that their daughter is under a spell. The queen gets an idea to offer a big reward for whoever can break the spell. | |

The first prince to arrive is Prince Elmo of Ticklania, who will try waking her up with a giant Ticklanian chicken feather.
He demonstrates its effects on the king and queen, then tries it on the princess, not realizing that she's too grouchy to be ticklish - but the feather does make her sneeze. Prince Elmo knows exactly what to do to cheer himself up ... | |

The second prince to arrive is Prince Telly of the Tuba, and his back-up band, The Cat's Meow. Since they woke up Rip Van Winkle by playing the tuba and meowing loudly, they figure it'll be a cinch to wake the princess up in the same way. But such is not the case, not even with participation from the viewer. | |

The third prince doesn't show up at first, but is revealed to be Prince Slimey. But how can a small worm prince break a spell? Slimey knows how: by giving the princess a sweet, lovable kiss, which he knows she'll hate. It works! | |
cont'd |
In return for his heroic deed, Slimey wants not jewels, but mud. He and Princess Grouchy go off to play in the royal mud puddle and live grouchily ever after. | |
cont'd |
Telly and Elmo like the happy ending, but was it happy? Oscar and Grundgetta don't think so. As they argue about it, Oscar remarks, "The best part about reading a book is the lively discussion afterwards!" | |
