Big Bird is jealous that Ernie is getting so much attention, but he soon finds out it's because Ernie is sick. Ernie says that it's no fun to have a cold. Big Bird decides to attempt to get attention by faking an illness. Before long, Big Bird himself really does become sick, thus realizing that it's no fun, despite all the attention he is getting. Soon he and Ernie both feel better again.
