Gordon plays a game of "What Will Happen?" with Ernie.
Part 1: After Ernie guesses correctly what will happen when Gordon drops a ball and turns on a radio, he asks what will happen when he picks up a bell and shakes it. Ernie says the bell will ring. Gordon asks what else will happen. Ernie doesn't think anything else is supposed to happen. Gordon says that a monster will come out and start blowing a flute. Ernie thinks that's silly, but is surprised when that exact thing happens.
Gordon admits that he had worked it out beforehand with Cookie Monster, and gives him a cookie. After Gordon leaves, Ernie has an idea for a trick to play on Bert.
Part 2: Ernie tries to play the same trick on Bert, but when he rings the bell, nothing else happens. Bert thinks Ernie's gone bananas, and he leaves. When Ernie wants to know what happened, Cookie Monster says that he couldn't play the flute, because his mouth was full of cookies.
