There!
My glider, you found it!
But how are we going to get it down from way up there?
Huh, there's not a thing we can do to get it down.
When you're worried there isn't a thing you can do, that's exactly the time for Thing 1 and Thing 2!
(Whistling) BOTH: Whee-hoo!
Hello!
Hello, Things.
Can you help us find a way to get our glider down?
Uh-huh.
(Clattering) Oh, dear.
BOTH: Oh, dear, oh, dear!
(Giggling) Perfect, you found the Odds 'n Endsville ladder department!
Huh?
Okay!
(Giggling) (Chattering) Step right up and check them out!
Here's a love ladder!
But you can't climb on the steps.
You're right, but you have to admit, it's got a lot of heart!
(Giggling) How about a ladder-adder?
It's great when you just need to reach a little higher.
But too short to help us!
Hmm, I see your point.
(Clattering) What about that one?
It looks like it's tall enough to let us see up high!
That's the one we need.
Let's move it together.
Whoa, why is the ladder so bouncy?
That, my friends, is a pogo ladder.
It helps you bounce even higher than the ladder can reach.
Ooh!
Ooh!
Do you wanna give it a try?
BOTH: Uh-huh!
Whoa!
Oh, no!
Follow those bouncing Things!
(Chattering and giggling) BOTH: Get 'em!
Whoa!
Gotcha!
Hold it steady.
Whee!
(Giggling) Whew, maybe a ladder with springs isn't the best way for the Things to reach up high.
You're right, Fish!
Let's take the springs off.
There!
(Clattering) Without the springs, it's just a ladder, and it works the way a ladder should.
Let's try it!
Give it a try now, Things!
(Chattering) (Grunting) Oh!
I think the ladder's just a little too short.
So the problem's not solved by removing the springs.
It's still out of reach of our dear little Things.
So we need to add something to the ladder to help them reach.
BOTH: The ladder-adder!
Here you go, Things!
Add this to the top!
BOTH: Whoo-hoo!
Oh, yeah!
Ta-da!
BOTH: Yeah!
Whoo-hoo!
Thanks, Things!
(All cheering) What an idea!
You two are so smart!
You rescued the glider by adding a part.
