Hey, what are you doing?

I'm making a Valentine's Day card for Cat.

Cool!

Uh.. Can I help?

Sure.

We have to draw a great, big heart.

No, no, no... Not blue.

It's got to be red!

But blue's my favourite colour.

But I like red!

Yeah...well, you like pink shoes!

And you like worms!

Worms are cool!

Worms are gross!

Cool!

Gross!

Cool!

Gross!

Huh?

Woah!

What's all the hubbub?

(laughs) It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

Happy Valentine's Day!

Isn't it fun to have a special day for our very best friends?!

Except I don't agree with Nick.

And I don't agree with Sally.

How can we be best friends if we don't agree?

Maybe you don't always have to like the same things to be best friends.

You don't?

I know someone who knows all about best friends!

His name is Sheldon.

Who's Sheldon?

My oldest of oldest friends - he's one hundred and two!

He's a tortoise who lives in Go-Lap-Agoo!

A tortoise!

Oh yes!

Want to meet him?

Yes please!

Yeah!

Your mother will not mind at all if you do!

Mom!

Can Nick and I go to Go-Lap-Agoo to meet a tortoise who knows all about being friends?

Go-Lap-Agoo?

(laugh) Sounds fun.

Go-lap-a-go for it!

We can go!

We can go!

We can go!

We can go!

I know!

I know!

To the Thingamajigger!

Ooh, I just love Valentine's Day!

Look at this wonderful card I got.

(Gasp) Who's it from?

It says it's "From a really special friend".

Who could that be?

It's a mystery!

(Laughs) ♫Are you ready?

- Yes we are.♫ ♫Are you steady?

- Yes we are.♫ ♫Are you sure you're ready to explore?♫ ♫Yes we are!♫ Then buckle up!

[honk] ♫ Flick the jiggermawhizzer!

[giggles] [boing] [honk] [pop] ♫ Isn't this fun!

Yahoooooo!

♫Here we go, go, go go!

On an adventure.♫ ♫The thingamajigger is up and away!♫ ♫Go, go, go, go!

On an adventure.♫ ♫We're flying with the Cat in the Hat today!♫ ♫We're off to meet Sheldon who'll teach us to stay,♫ ♫The bestest of friends♫ ♫on Valentine's Day!♫ ♫Here we go, go, go go!

On an adventure.♫ ♫Go, go, go, go GO!♫ ♫ Welcome to Go-Lap-Agoo.

Where does Sheldon live?

Right down here!

Why, that's strange.

I don't see Sheldon.

Maybe he's behind one of those big rocks!

Whoa!

That rock's moving!

Well, goodness me, Cat, is that you?

It is!

It's me, the Cat, the Cat in the Hat, with my good friends Nick, Sally and Fish.

Nice to meet you Sheldon.

Hi!

How are you today?

Sally and Nick want to know all about how to be best friends.

Well that's a big question for an old tortoise...uh, I'll think about it while I take my morning walk.

Oh I wish I knew who sent this card!

Do you have a best friend, Sheldon?

Well.

Let's see.

I have many, many friends.

Like Cat?

Yes!

Sheldon's my oldest friend.

But who's your best-best friend?

Hmmmm....well there is someone, it's...er...

Wait!

Wait!

Wait!

Don't tell us.

(laughs) Why don't we all try to guess?

It will be a blast!

(laughs) Welcome to "The Guess Sheldon's Best-best Friend Show".

(giggles) Taking part today are... Nick and Sally!

Yay!

Yay!

Our first player is Nick... (laughs) Tell me Nick, do you have an idea who Sheldon's best-best friend might be...

Uh... Let me think.

Good morning, Shelly.

Morning, Sheldon.

Nice day.

I know!

His best-best friend has got to be another tortoise!

You must be Sheldon's best-best friend!

Oh no.

I'm his friend but his best-best friend isn't a tortoise.

I guess I guessed wrong.

Sally - it's your turn to play the best-best friend game!

Hm... (snacking sounds) Uh, oh, oh, good morning, Freddy.

How are you today?

In a hurry, no time to talk!

(laugh) It's always rush, rush, rush with you.

You need to slow down... You need to speed up, big boy.

(Pecking) That bird's pecking at Sheldon!

Hey!

Stop that!

Are you okay?

I bet that hurt!

No, no, no, that's just Freddy Finch.

I like it when he does that.

Hey, hey would you like some leaves, Freddy?

Nah.

Too stringy.

I'll stick to bugs!

(pecking sounds) Well I'm about to go for a swim.

Care to join me?

I know you love to swim but finches like me don't.

See you!

Ha, ha,ha.

Did you hear that?

Sheldon loves to swim.

Oh ho watch out, fishes!

Ready or not here I come!

His best friend must be... A FISH!

I bet we'll find him down there!

To the Thingamajjiger!

♫ I love it when we visit fish!

Maybe one of them sent me this card.

Pull the subber-e-blubber!

[bell rings] ♫ Dive, dive, dive...!

I see lots of fish.

But which one's Sheldon's best-best friend?

Let's ask.

Hello - hello!

Hey, fishies!

Wait!

We need to ask you a question.

Hey!

They're not stopping.

Stopping a fish - that's easily done!

As long as you have Thing Two and Thing One!

[whistles] ♫ [giggling] Hello!

♫ What?

♫ Mmm-mm-mm.

They're using fish food.

Clever Things!

Save some for me!

Hey.

Are any of you fish Sheldon's best-best friend?

We love swimming with Sheldon.

But his best-best friend is not a fish.

We guessed wrong again.

We're never going to guess who it is.

Of course you will... when I give you a clue... Sheldon's best-best friend is as different from Sheldon as different can be!

Hey.

It's Sheldon.

Wow!

It's like he's flying... Like a bird... Hey, are you thinking what I'm thinking!

You bet I am.

Going up!

We know who your best-best friend is!

You do?

He's not a tortoise or a fish.

He's someone different from you... You're big so he's got to be small.

You've got a shell and he doesn't... You're slow so he's got be fast... You like to swim and he likes to fly!

I THINK WE HAVE A WINNER!

Who is Sheldon's best-best friend?

[Nick and Sally shout] FREDDY THE FINCH!

Sheldon is that the correct answer?

Oh...ah... Can't reach...Uh, oh my neck... it's so itchy!

[pecking] Oh yeah... oh that's good.. Ohh... that's much better!

(picking and eating noises) I'll say!

Mmmmm-mmm!

Yeah!

Freddy is my best-best friend.

And you're my best-best friend!

Then why do you peck at him all the time, Freddy?

Oh he's not pecking me.

Take a look.

(Picking) Eugh!

Bugs!

And they're terribly itchy - I can tell you!

You're eating the bugs, Freddy!

Nice work!

Uh-huh!

They're the best!

Whenever I want a good meal, I hop on my friend, Sheldon.

And he's the best neck-scratcher there ever was.

We're best-best friends because we always help each other.

Yay!

Nick and Sally are the winners on today's Guess Sheldon's Best-best Friend Show.

Yay!

Hurray!

Do you have anything to say?

Being best-best friends doesn't mean you always have to be the same.

And it doesn't mean you always have to agree.

That's right.

Here's a Valentine's message that I'd like to send.

A feathery finch is our tortoise's best friend.

They aren't too alike... (groan) ...they don't always agree, But they need one another as we all can see!

[laughing] Thank you, Sheldon!

Thank you, Freddy!

See ya!

(laughs) [Nick and Sally] Happy Valentine's Day!

For me?

Oh, you shouldn't have.

(Gasp) You painted red and blue hearts!

Both my very favourite colours.

We both like different things.

But we're still best-best friends.

[laughing] (Sigh) We never figured out who gave me my Valentine's card.

Maybe it's from someone who's verrrry different than you.

Hmmm..

I wonder who it could be?

Hmmmm... (gasp) It's from my best-best friend.

And that's... you!

Why of course it is!

Happy Valentine's Day, Fish!

<Giggles> Happy Valentine's Day!

Isn't this a good time?

(laughs) ♫ What's for breakfast Nick?

I'm hungry!

Well Sally, we've got toast, cereal, milk... Ooo, cereal and milk for me please!

Uh oh, you're out of milk.

How 'bout some toast with cheese?

Mm-mmm-mmm, good to the last bite!

It's the Cat!

The Cat in the Hat!

That's me!

Now, what's for breakfast?

Not much!

We're out of milk... And you just finished the cheese.

I did?

Oh dear.

Perhaps I can help... Let's see...

I've got a pogo stick... a beach ball... oh!

and my lost slippers!

I was looking for those things.

(giggles) We can't eat those!

Eyechk!

You're right!

But we can go to a place that serves the best lip-smackin' breakfast ever!

Where's that?

Finola's Farm!

Your mother won't mind at all if you do.

(laughs) Mom!

Can we go to Finola's Farm for the best... uh... lip smackin' breakfast ever?

Finola's Farm?

[laughs] Sure, oh, but be back before the cows come home!

We can go!

We can go!

We can go!

We can go!

I can do that.

Let me try.

Ahhhh!

Ooops!

Ewww... wet my whiskers, this milk is watery!

Not for long!

Pour this here milk into that there funnel.

It heats up the milk and gets it ready for drinkin'!

Ah, but there's another brr-illiant dairy delight to be made!
