Hmm, trees have problems too?
Oh, brother!
- OK, so my friends, the Giants, left me a really enormous present!
Usually when I get a present, I shake it and try to figure out what's inside, but this present is so enormous I can't even come close to shaking it.
See?
I really want to open my huge, enormous present, but something's missing.
Opening a present just isn't fun without a certain bluish, purplish, furry, squishy someone.
Cat!
I wonder where he is!
- (Cat): Peg?
- I can hear him... - (Cat): Peggg?
- ...but I can't see him.
(gasp) Did Cat turn invisible?
Where are you, Cat?
- (Cat): Umm, I don't know.
- Uh-oh!
No one knows where Cat is, and that's a BIG PROBLEM!
I hear Cat, so he has to be near.
Cat's not behind me, and he's not next to me either.
He's not on this side or this side.
Cat's not underneath me.
Oh, Caterpillar, what do I do?
Cat's vanished!
- Mm-hmm!
And how does that make you feel?
- Ouch!
- I'm sorry it hurts.
- No, this acorn just fell on me from above!
Above!
Is Cat above me?
He is!
You amazing cat, you dropped an acorn on me on purpose!
- I did?
I mean, I did!
- All right!
We found Cat and so... ♫Problem solved - The problem is solved♫ -♫We solved the problem, problem solved♫ - Hey, Cat, how did you get up in that tree anyway?
- A tree?!
Is that where I am?
Now that explains a lot.
- Cat really should pay more attention to what he's doing.
Don't you worry, Cat, I'll get you down from that tree in no time.
To get Cat down, I need to jump really high.
Look out, here comes my high jump!
Ugh!
- Little higher.
- OK, here comes an even higher jump.
(grunting) - Umm, even higher.
- OK, here comes my very highest jump.
Aaah!
- Almost!
- Uh-oh!
Even with my remarkable jumping skills, I still can't reach Cat!
Cat is totally stuck up in that tree!
We've got a REALLY BIG PROBLEM!
- Cats stuck in a tree, I've heard stories, but I never thought it would happen to me!
- Hmm... and how does that make you feel?
- Not now, Caterpillar.
Don't worry, Cat, I'm gonna figure out some way to get you down from there.
Just stay calm and keep yourself busy by, um, counting things.
- Oh, I can do that.
I'll count how many tails I have!
One.
Oh, boy.
- I bet one of the Neighbor Ladies has a ladder I can borrow.
Excuse me, Neighbor Ladies, I need to borrow something really important!
- (both): Hello there, Peg!
- Come in, come in!
- Come in!
I was just saying, You know who would look adorable in this pink dress with unicorns and rainbow puppies?
Little Peggie.
- Actually, what I need is a-- - A sparkling tiara.
It's so becoming on a little lady.
- No, I need a-- - A fetching red bow!
- Adorable!
- I NEED A LADDER!
Please!
- A ladder?
Why, yes, I've got one, but I can't reach it with all of this clutter in the way.
Peg, would you mind stacking these things for me, please?
- Ugh, OK.
There's one box, one ball and one, two, three cans of paint.
We need to figure out a way to stack them up, so they don't fall over.
Let's see.
♫Put the ball on the box, stack the cans on the ground♫ ♫Put the box on the cans - Now, it's shaking all around♫ -♫You know it's never good♫ ♫When your pile starts to sway♫ ♫No, the plan didn't work♫ ♫But there's got to be another way♫ ♫Put the cans on the box, put the box on the ball♫ -♫It's rolling all over - And now, it starts to fall♫ -♫You know it's never good when your pile strolls away♫ ♫No, the plan didn't work♫ ♫But there's got to be another way♫ ♫Put the cans on the box - Looking good so far♫ -♫Put the ball on the cans - And they stay right where they are♫ ♫We found the plan that worked - You don't need another way♫ -♫We found the plan that worked, yaa♫ ♫We got the pile to staaaaaaay♫ (cool guitar solo) - Lovely job, Peg.
- Thanks!
So about that ladder?
- I had this ladder since I was a little girl.
- I can tell.
Thanks for the ladder.
OK, Cat, I'm back!
- Oh, good, because I ran out of things to count.
Oh, you'll never guess how many ears I have.
- Two?
- Whoa!
- Look, I got us a ladder.
- You're not gonna stand on that thing, are you?
- I'm sure it's sturdy.
Sturdy-iiish!
Whoaaa!
- Careful, Peg.
- (Peg and Cat): Phew!
- Yaaaah!
- That's not good.
- Now, I have no idea how I'm gonna get Cat out of the tree!
I really miss my pal.
He's always here beside me, sharing a laugh.
- Or a piece of pie... - Keeping me calm and giving me great ideas.
- Without even trying!
- And now he's really stuck!
And I don't know how to get him down!
Cat, what you would do if you were down here?
- Uhhh, I'd probably walk around until I bumped into something.
- I guess it's worth a shot.
It worked!
Cat, you're brilliant!
- Me?
- This enormous present.
Maybe there's something inside we could use to get you down from that tree.
- Oooh!
Open it, open it, open it!
- Check it out!
A huge coloring book and.. a really long kaleidoscope!
- Cool!
- A coloring book and a kaleidoscope.
Cat, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- No.
- If I stack these things up in just the right way, I could get you down from there.
- Oh!
- Let's see.
I could put the kaleidoscope this way.
Whoa!
That doesn't help.
I can also put the kaleidoscope this way.
It's too big to climb, but it's perfect for sliding down.
If we can get the kaleidoscope up to Cat, he could slide down from the tree!
We just need to figure out how to get it up to him.
We could put the kaleidoscope on top of the book like this.
But it's not high enough.
Or we could put it like this.
But it doesn't stay balanced.
Cat, I need another idea!
- Try bumping into the box again!
- The box!
That's it!
If I put the kaleidoscope above the box, Cat could slide down from the tree.
I really don't know how he comes up with these things.
- Hey, Peg!
- Oh!
Hi, Ramone.
What are you up to?
- Actually, it's my day off.
I'm just hanging out.
So where's Cat?
- HIIII, RAMOOOONE!
- Yikes.
- Yeah, it's kind of a big problem.
Hey, do you think you could help me move this enormous box and put that long kaleidoscope on top of it?
- Sure!
(grunting) To get the kaleidoscope up there, you're gonna have to sit on my shoulders.
- Well, um, anything for Cat.
- Riiight... - Steady!
Here it comes!
- High, higher, highest!
There!
OK, Cat, everything's ready!
You can slide down the kaleidoscope!
- Here goes nothing!
Woohooooo!
Uh, now what?
- Oh no!
After all that, Cat's still not down!
He'll never get back to the ground.
I'll never have my best friend down here with me ever again!
It will be Peg plus nobody!
I AM TOTALLY FREAKING OUT!
- Don't worry, Peg.
Cat can jump into my arms.
Come on, Cat, I got you.
- Uhhhh...
I don't know about that, Ramone.
- Or Cat could slide down on the coloring book.
- Now, there's an idea!
- Good thinking, Peg!
- Thanks!
- OK, guys, here I coooome!
Ah, sweet, sweet ground!
- Glad to have you back, Cat.
- Thanks for all your help, Ramone.
- I do what I can.
- Now come here, you adorable Cat!
Because we arranged those objects by stacking them high enough, Cat could get down from the tree!
- Yeah, math really saved my existence.
- And now that Chat's safe and sound down on the ground... ♫Problem solved - The problem is solved♫ -♫We solved the problem - So everything is awesome♫ -♫Problem solved♫ - Peg, thanks for helping me down from the tree.
- No problem, Cat.
You can always count on me.
- Always?
- Uh-huh!
♫If you're visiting the zoo♫ ♫And an elephant sits on you♫ ♫Don't you stay smushed under his tush♫ ♫Give me a call and I'll give him a push♫ ♫You can count on me♫ ♫You can count on me♫ ♫Being trapped under some bum is quite a conundrum♫ ♫But I will get you free♫ ♫Yes, you can count on me♫ -♫If I'm going for a sail♫ ♫And I'm swallowed by a whale♫ -♫No need to be frazzled or flummoxed♫ ♫Leave it to me♫ ♫I'll get out of his tummy♫ ♫You can count on me♫ ♫You can count on me♫ ♫If you just request it I can get you uningested♫ -♫And we'll sail merrily♫ Yes!
(Peg laughing) -♫You can count on me - No matter the problems♫ ♫The two of us can solve 'em♫ -♫When you're in trouble, I'll be there on the double♫ -♫If you're feeling blue, I'm the one, two, three♫ ♫For youuuuu♫ -♫You can count on meeeeee♫ - I bet the Giants never thought we'd use their present to get me out of a tree.
- We owe them a big thank you.
- More like a giant thank you!
(Peg laughing) - Yeah, like THANK YOU, GIANTS!
- We really liked the gifts!
- (Giants): You're welcome!
