Very funny, Cat.

there's not enough wind

wind is just blowing air...

Could we make a bigger wind

Bluster Guster?

[cymbal shimmering]
[Bluster Guster rattling]

- I was right.
The wind is stronger.
I can feel it
even more on my skin.
- Me too.
But what's that tinkling soundI hear?
- It's coming from over there.
- Look.
Those chimes are swaying.
That's what's making
the tinkling sound.
- I've got an inkling
that there is a reason
for that inkling.
- Maybe the reason
is that the wind
is pushing them
into each other.
- Yeah.
So we might not be able
to see the wind,
but we can hear
the things it moves
when it's strong enough
to push them around.

what is that thing?

- Look!
The big Bluster Guster
is making enough wind
for everything here to move.
- So maybe the sock's there
to show us
how strong the wind is.
- That makes total sense.
You can't see wind,
but you can feel it
on your skin.

the things it pushes around.
- And see it lift things up
like that sock.
- And like my kite.
Look, Nick.
The wind is strong enough
to fly it.
This is so much fun.

But how will I know
when there's enough wind
to fly my kite at home?
I wish there was a way
I could tell,
wherever I am.
- Maybe there is.
All I need
is something to write with.
- Something like
a Doodlemaboodle?
A Doodlemaboodle
can write anywhere.
You can write what you're
thinking right here in the air.
- Okay, here's what we know.
When we can only feel the wind
a little on our skin,
Sally's kite won't fly.
- And when we feel
the wind more
and hear it push things around,
the kite flutters a little
but won't fly.
- And when the wind's
strong enough
for us to feel it, hear it,
and see it lift things up,
we can fly a kite.
- With this much wind,
I can fly my kite all day.
- [panting] There... just...
might be a problem with that.
Sally, I'm afraid
I'm too winded.

- Gravity is why things
fall down instead of up.
- Wah!
- See?
- So even if you hold something
way up from the ground,
gravity pulls it back down?
- Yes. It also holds us down
so we don't float away.
- That's why I couldn't
jump up to get my plane.
Gravity was pulling me down.
