- That must be the jungle!
It's on the other side of this, this... - Quicksand.
- Wait a minute.
What is quicksand?
- Woof!
Woofster to the rescue!
With my Doggie Dictionary, I can tell you what any word means.
"Quicksand"means: loose wet sand that things sink into and get stuck in.
"Quicksand."
Now we know what it means!
Woof-de-doo!
Give your tail a wag.
- Ah, so, things sink into quicksand?
- Woof!
Yep.
- And, we're STANDING in quicksand?
- Woof, uh-huh.
Uh-oh.
- So that means... we're, we're sinking in quicksand!
- What?
- I'm sinking!
- Ahhhh!
- Ah, double drats!
We're stuck!
How can we get out of this quicksand?
- Woof!
- Alpha Pig to the rescue!
With my Amazing Alphabet Tools, I can get us out of quicksand!
We can make a big rope to pull ourselves out of the quicksand!
