The Windnasium's winds are the best; they're supreme, and that's why it's known as a kite-flyer's dream.
Finally, a place I can fly my kite!
Yeah!
Huh?
It still doesn't work!
We have the same problem we had in the backyard!
No wind!
Hmm, and they call this place a Windnasium?
They do, indeed, because you make your own wind here!
Make our own wind?
How?
Ready to have your minds blown?
(Giggling) Ta-da!
What's that thing?
It's a wind-making bluster-guster.
I'm a huge fan!
(Both giggling) Check this out!
(Whooshing) (Gasping) There's wind!
Is there?
How do you know?
I thought you couldn't see the wind.
No, but I can feel it on my skin!
It's light and tickly.
If we can feel the wind, it must be there, even if we can't see it.
And if there's wind... That means I can fly my kite!
Watch this!
Yay!
Yeowch.
I guess there was enough wind to feel it on our skin, but not enough to fly a kite!
Cat, look!
Could we make a bigger wind with that bigger bluster-guster?
Let's give it a whirl!
Thar she blows!
I was right!
The wind is stronger.
I can feel it even more on my skin!
(Tinkling) Me too!
But what's that tinkling sound I hear?
It's coming from over there!
SALLY: Look, those chimes are swaying!
That's what's making the tinkling sound!
I've got an inkling that there's a reason for that tinkling.
Maybe the reason is that the wind is pushing them into each other!
Yeah!
So we might not be able to see the wind, but we can hear the things it moves when it's strong enough to push them around.
Hear, hear!
But is the wind strong enough to make your kite fly?
Let's try it!
FISH: It's working!
It's working!
It's not working.
Maybe that even bigger bluster-guster can help!
Let's give 'er a spin!
(Groaning) (Loud whooshing) This is the strongest wind yet!
NICK: Look at the pinwheel, and what is that thing?!
Did someone lose a sock?
Hmm.
Not me!
Look!
The big bluster-guster is making enough wind for everything here to move!
So maybe the sock's there to show us how strong the wind is.
That makes total sense.
You can't see wind, but you can feel it on your skin.
SALLY: And you can hear the things it pushes around.
And see it lift things up, like that sock!
And like my kite!
Look, Nick!
The wind is strong enough to fly it!
This is so much fun.
