(Grunting) Oh, if only I was just a little taller!
(Dropping plank) Whoa!
Who are you and why did you scare me like that?
Sorry!
I'm Sally and he's Nick.
We didn't mean to scare you.
We came to help you get that apple.
Really?
Oh, you'd do that for me?
Oh, come here!
(Giggling) Uh, wait, um, hold on.
You're shorter than I am.
How are you gonna help?
With this!
A board?
Wait, we're missing something.
CAT: Here we are!
La la la, la la la!
La la la la la, la la!
Ta da!
Oh, who are you?
It's the Cat in the Hat, on a log!
Right, without the log under it, this isn't a see-saw or a lever!
It's just a board.
Now, it's a see-saw.
Oh, right, ha ha!
Now, I catch reach my-- ah, ah, whoa!
Oh!
(Laughing) That was fun!
But it didn't help me get my apple.
Not yet!
You went too fast.
You need to wait for us to hold the other end down.
Like this.
Oh, I don't know.
Can you two be here to catch me if I fall again?
We could, but then, we won't be able to hold the board down.
We need something else.
Something, or some Things?
(Laughing) When you're stuck in a fix and you don't know what to do, that's a time when you call on Thing 1 and Thing 2!
(Whistling) Oh, boy.
Things are about to get much, much sillier.
BOTH: Whee!
(Chattering) BOTH: Hello!
Hi, Things.
Can you please come and hold this end of the board so the dragon can reach that apple?
BOTH: Huh?
(Chattering) Okay, we'll be over here to catch you.
Ready!
All right, if you're sure.
(Panting) Whoa!
(Things shouting) (Laughing) BOTH: Ta-da!
Wow, that was amazing!
But, um, I still don't have my apple.
Well, you're a lot heavier than the Things.
Maybe if I sit on the end with them, we can raise you up!
Want a lift?
Thanks, Cat!
One Sally coming up!
Um, hi.
Uh, when does the seeing and sawing begin?
Hmm, maybe it'll work if we add my weight, too.
Adding Nick might do the trick.
Alley-oop!
Thanks, Cat.
Whoa!
Ha ha!
It's working!
Gotcha!
Whoo-hoo!
Ha ha!
Yay, you got your apple!
Ready to come down now?
After all this work, I'm not just gonna pick one measly apple.
One for you.
Thank you!
Apples for everybody!
Ugh!
And one for you.
One for you!
And two for you guys!
(Grunting) And one for you.
Oh, why, thank you!
Ah, got it!
Uh, I think I have enough!
Heh.
