Elmo's got a dollar, and he wants a Stupendous Ball! It costs five dollars, so Luis explains that people usually work for money. He offers Elmo a job helping him fix the ice cream maker, and pays him one dollar.

Now it's time for Elmo to save money in a piggy bank. He earns another dollar helping Leela fold clothes, and another returning empty bottles to Hooper's Store. Then he gets a card from his nana with one dollar in it. Bingo! Stupendous Ball time!

Elmo's about to pay for his ball, but he runs into Cookie Monster, who has no money to buy cookies. Elmo gives him one of his dollars, so he's got to save a little longer. But wait, what's this? The Fantastic Ball costs only four dollars…exactly how much Elmo has!

[[Blogg]] uses magic to create a life-size Macaroni dinosaur. With a touch of "The Spice of Life", he brings his creation to life. However, it begins wreaking havoc all over the class room, wrecking everything. They try various methods of stopping it, including making a Macaroni stop sign, but to no avail. [[Mrs. Sparklenose]] suggests they "[[Spot (Abby's Flying Fairy School)|Spot]] the solution." They call on Spot, who shows them things that are ''humongous''. They get the idea they need something big to stop him. A large wall doesn't work for them, however. Blogg comes up with a giant meatball, which the Macaronisaurus begins playing with. Everyone cheers, while the giant meatball pins Blogg to the floor. ''(re-orchestrated theme song)''<br />{{first|4207}}

Super Grover 2.0 arrives and begins to use his powers of observation. He sees the ball is shrinking, making a hissing noise (thinking there's a snake inside), air is getting blown at him and there's a hole in it. Grover tries to comfort the cactus, but pricks himself on its stems. The cactus realizes he put the hole in it. Grover helps more by find a ball he can play with. He fetches a bowling ball, which is too heavy. He gets a snowball from Antarctica, but it falls apart when thrown. Grover pulls a hero sandwich from his utility sock, when the cactus notices the foil wrapping can be made into different shapes. Grover makes it into a ball, which becomes the perfect ball for a cactus. They play some catch and Grover asks for a hug. Getting several stems poking him, he claims ''he's'' now losing air.<br />{{first|4217}}
