GROVER: Ow, ow, oh, oh. 00:55
COW: What was that? 00:57
GROVER: It is I, Sup-- 00:58
Super Grover 2.0! 01:01
At your service, ma'am. 01:03
COW: Ah, thank goodness. 01:05
I just had my hair done. 01:07
And now, I've got a big problem. 01:08
GROVER: Wait! 01:11
Do not tell me. 01:11
You wanted to be a brunette instead of a blonde? 01:13
COW: Uh, no. 01:14
GROVER: Unhappy with your highlights? 01:16
COW: No! 01:18
The problem is I can't get down from here. 01:19
You see, I'm a cow. 01:22
And cows can't walk downstairs. 01:23
GROVER: That is no problem. 01:26
If you cannot walk down, then do what we superheroes do. 01:29
COW: Huh? 01:34
What's that? 01:35
GROVER: We dance down. 01:36
Hit it! 01:38
[DANCE MUSIC] 01:39
GROVER: Follow me! 01:43
[TAPPING FEET] 01:44
GROVER: This way! 01:49
[DANCE MUSIC] 01:50
COW: OK, stop, stop, stop! 01:53
GROVER: What? 01:55
Is something wrong, my little dairy queen? 01:56
COW: Cows can't dance either. 01:59
GROVER: Hm, I see, you're a heifer, not a hoofer. 02:01
But no worries, for I will find a 02:04
solution to your problem. 02:06
Stand back as I unleash my power of observation. 02:08
02:12
Mm-hm, I see that you are up there, and you want to get 02:15
down there. 02:23
But these stairs are in the way, hm. 02:24
COW: Right. 02:27
GROVER: So the question is, how do we do we get the cow 02:27
down without using these stairs? 02:31
COW: That's the question, Super Grover. 02:34
GROVER: It is time to unleash the power of investigation. 02:36
COW: [GASP]. 02:42
What are you going to do? 02:42
GROVER: I'm going to get rid of the stairs. 02:44
COW: What? 02:45
How? 02:46
GROVER: By using my super stair-eradicating hand chop. 02:47
Hai, yah! 02:51
[CLANG] 02:53
GROVER: Ow! 02:55
Oh, ho! 02:56
I am now observing that these stairs are very hard. 02:57
Oh, ho, oh, my poor hand. 03:03
COW: Oh, no. 03:05
Huh, how will we ever get down from here? 03:06
GROVER: If I cannot get rid of these stairs, perhaps you can 03:09
jump over these stairs. 03:13
COW: But the ground, it's so hard. 03:15
I'll ruin my pedicure. 03:17
GROVER: Do not despair, my bovine beauty, for it is time 03:19
to unleash the power of technology. 03:23

[GRUNTS]. 03:30
[CLANGS] 03:32
GROVER: [GRUNTS]. 03:35
And, voila! 03:35
[PANTS]. 03:38
COW: A trampoline? 03:39
GROVER: Yes, something soft and springy 03:40
for you to land on. 03:43
Now, jump over the stairs. 03:44
COW: OK, here goes. 03:47
Yee! 03:50
[BOING] 03:51
COW: Yee! 03:52
Oh! 03:53
GROVER: Now, that was quite the milkshake. 03:54
COW: Oh, no. 03:57
I'm right back where I started. 03:58
[SOBS]. 04:00
This is hopeless. 04:01
GROVER: I, Super Grover 2.0, do not know the meaning of the 04:03
word "hopeless." What does it mean? 04:07
COW: It mean there's no hope. 04:10
I'll never get down. 04:12
GROVER: Nonsense! 04:14
We must not give up ever! 04:15
Let me just take a closer look at these stairs. 04:18
Mm-hm, with my super vision, I observe these 04:22
stairs are very bumpy. 04:28
COW: That's the problem. 04:30
I don't do bumps. 04:32
GROVER: Then we must de-bumpify these stairs. 04:34
Let me just check my utility sock. 04:37
Mm-hm. 04:40
Ah! 04:41
Luckily, I have brought my super stair de-bumpifier. 04:42
COW: You mean that board? 04:47
GROVER: Yes, it is perfectly smooth and straight. 04:48
Not a bump on it. 04:51
[THUDS] 04:52
GROVER: There. 04:53
Just put-- again, take the hoof in front of the other. 04:55
COW: I'll try. 04:59
GROVER: You will be home on the range in no time. 05:01
[GRUNTS]. 05:04
[CLIP-CLOPPING] 05:05
COW: Oh, no. 05:07
I still can't get down from here. 05:08
GROVER: [GRUNTS]. 05:11
And you are heavier than I thought. 05:11
Back up, back up, back up! 05:14
[SHRIEKS]. 05:15
[CLATTERS] 05:16
COW: Oh! 05:16
Oh, I think you just made a ramp, Super Grover. 05:17
GROVER: A what? 05:21
COW: A ramp. 05:22
It's a sloping surface that goes from high to low. 05:23
Oh, I think I could go down the ramp. 05:27
GROVER: Really? 05:30
COW: Well, let me give it a try. 05:31
[GIGGLES]. 05:34
[CLIP-CLOPPING] 05:34
GROVER: [GRUNTS]. 05:35
COW: It's working. 05:38
I'm walking down the ramp. 05:40
Oh, thank you, Super Grover. 05:42
GROVER: Ouch, uh, do not mention it. 05:44
Ooh, ow. 05:47
NARRATOR: And so our superhero learned that you can use a 05:49
ramp instead of going downstairs. 05:52
GROVER: Watch it. 05:55
Talk about learning the hard way. 05:57
[SIGHS]. 05:59
CACTUS: Maybe there just isn't a ball that a 06:01
cactus can play with. 06:03

Ow! 06:06

Key Grammar Structures

  • GROVER: Habba, wha--?

    ➔ Interjections & Ellipsis

    ➔ The use of "Habba, wha--?" demonstrates an **interjection** expressing surprise or confusion, followed by an **ellipsis** (...) indicating incomplete thought or trailing off.

  • GROVER: Hm, what does this button do?

    ➔ Indirect Question

    ➔ The sentence is an **indirect question** starting with "Hm, what..." instead of directly asking "What does this button do?" This uses the word order of a statement, not a question.

  • COW: I just had my hair done.

    ➔ Past Perfect Tense

    ➔ The phrase "had my hair done" uses the **past perfect** (although often expressed as a past simple in colloquial speech) to indicate an action completed *before* another point in the past (the current situation of being stuck). It implies the hair styling happened earlier.
