And you're never going to believe this, but somewhere on this desert island there's... buried treasure!
- Shhh!
- Sorry.
But it's only like the most exciting thing ever!
- Yeah!
- And we have just the right tools to find it.
Our friend Ramone gave us this map and a measuring stick to help us.
- It's just as tall as me!
- And it's perfectly straight, which means it's right for measuring things.
- And for dancing.
(Cat humming) Yaaa!
Ow!
- The map will tell us exactly where we need to go to find the treasure.
This looks like the banana tree where we are right now!
The map says we need to go one, two, three, four, five stick-lengths along the shore to a big old rock where we'll find our next clue.
- Five stick-lengths?
We only have one stick.
- We don't need five sticks to get there, Cat.
We can measure our way just using this one stick!
- We can?!
What a great STICK!
- No time for dancing, Cat.
Let's start measuring our way to the treasure!
- But how?
-♫To learn to measure♫ ♫You listen to me Put that stick down♫ ♫Next to this Banana tree♫ ♫Keep it pointing straight, don't let it roll or bend♫ ♫Mark it carefully at the other end♫ ♫The distance from that tree to this mark in the sand♫ ♫Is the length of one stick - I think I understand♫ - All we have to do is keep repeating this same exact thing until we make five lines in the sand.
- Easy!
- Kinda.
We have to do it very carefully so we don't make any mistakes.
- Yes!
-♫Put the stick on the line, now mark the other end♫ ♫That makes two Hup!
Do it again♫ ♫Now put the stick on the line, now mark the other end♫ ♫That makes three Hup!
Do it again♫ -♫You need accuracy with each stick you place♫ -♫Put it down carefully - Don't you leave any space♫ -♫And if we're precise - And we take our time♫ -♫Soon we'll measure to buried treasure♫ -♫Put the stick on the line, now mark the other end♫ ♫That makes♫ Hey, what happened?
- A wave came up and washed our measuring stick away!
- Whaa?!
- I think we've got a BIG PROBLEM!
(musical sting) - Ah, my stick!
- The stick is gone!
- My sweet stick!
- It's probably drifted all the way to China by now!
- My beautiful stick!
- We've lost our only chance at finding the buried treasure!
Noooooo!
- And I've lost the best dancing partner I ever had!
We were exactly the same height!
Noooo!
- That's it!
You and the stick were exactly the same height!
- I know!
I know!
- And since height standing up is the same as length lying down, we don't need the stick to measure our way to the treasure.
We can use your body instead!
- This body?
- Let's try it!
But remember, we have to be veeeery careful.
♫Measuring with cats is a tricky trick♫ -♫Lie straight and still Think like a stick♫ - I'm a stick.
-♫Feet on the line♫ ♫No space between I'll mark your ears♫ ♫Stay calm and serene♫ - Sorry.
-♫If we've got patience - And I stay still♫ -♫Soon we'll measure to buried treasure♫ Yay!
♫Keep your feet on the line♫ ♫Now mark the other end We've got four♫ ♫Hup!
Do it again, now put your feet on the line♫ ♫And what a shock!
Hup!
That makes five♫ ♫Here's the big old rock♫ - It worked!
- And so... ♫Problem solved The problem is solved♫ -♫We solved the problem Problem solved♫
