Ernie approaches Grover and asks him if he’s interested in singing a song about opposites. Ernie tells Grover that the format of the song is a game; Ernie will do a task or a movement while Grover does the opposite of the task.
Ernie finds it’s easy to push an empty box; For Grover it’s difficult to pull a full box. Grover is at the bottom of the mountain; Ernie is sitting at the top. Watch as Ernie stands still; Grover runs till he is exhausted. Ernie’s toy truck is in one piece while; Grover’s toy truck is broken in two. Ernie has lots of cookies; Grover has only a few. Ernie feels happy and dry; Grover is wet and feels as blue as a monster can get. Ernie is sitting on a couch holding a feather that’s light; Grover picks up the couch with Ernie sitting and mentions that it weights a ton. Ernie exclaims how opposites are great; Grover doesn’t find opposites are fun. Ernie slides down a pole; Grover climbs up a pole.
Finally, Ernie says that the game is over; Grover responds relieved to which Ernie responds and mentions that they should play the game again. Grover faints upon the idea of hearing Ernie’s suggestion of playing the “Opposite Game” again.
