E2PiratesErnie and Bert are pirates, looking for treasure on the open sea. They come to an island, where a monkey steals their map, and they have to swap Bert's clothes to get it back.

Finally, they find a large duck egg, which means the Wise Old Duck is near. The Wise Old Duck emerges and Ernie asks the question: “Which came first – the Duckie or the egg?” The WOD cannot think of an answer, as Bert accidentally knocks over the large duck egg and it begins to roll.
